La no unión de fractura o pseudoartrosis, consiste en que no ha existido cicatrización entre las partes de la fractura. El tratamiento de la falta de unión de una fractura, incluye la apertura del foco de fractura, extirpando el tejido blando cicatricial y haciendo un desbridamiento parcial del extremo del hueso y recolocando los fragmentos óseos. [...] Unión defectuosa de fractura, implica que la cicatrización ha tenido lugar pero los fragmentos de la fractura están en mala posición. El tratamiento de la unión defectuosa de una fractura, en general, conlleva el corte del hueso (osteotomía), la realineación del hueso, y habitualmente se añade algún tipo de fijación interna con o sin injerto de hueso. [...] La finalidad del tratamiento de una fractura es conseguir una unión segura y restablecer la función normal del hueso tan rápido como sea posible. 1, record 4, Spanish, - falta%20de%20uni%C3%B3n%20de%20fractura
