Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis is made through medical history, clinical examination, and imaging, with pain and limited mobility as key symptoms; X-rays and CT scans help confirm the diagnosis and classify the type of pseudarthrosis.
- * Surgical treatment is typically needed for symptomatic cases, aiming to restore bone vitality and stability; while it has high healing rates, it also poses a higher risk of infection compared to nonoperative methods.
