Your Fracture Won't Heal? Understand Pseudoarthrosis and How to Treat It!

Welcome to our channel. Here we speak simply and directly to help patients with Orthopedics and Traumatology.

Did you know that not every fracture heals as expected?
When this happens, we call it pseudarthrosis, an orthopedic complication in which the fractured bone fails to heal, even after the expected time.

In this video, you will learn:
✔️ What pseudarthrosis is and how to identify the signs.
✔️ Main causes (lack of stability, poor blood flow, infection, smoking, diabetes, and other factors).
✔️ How the diagnosis is made with imaging tests.
✔️ Available treatments: revision surgery, bone grafting, fixators, rods, plates, and biological methods such as ultrasound, shock waves, and magnetic fields.
✔️ Importance of physical therapy and rehabilitation for full recovery.
