Non-Union is still a frequent and severe complication in fracture treatment and represents a major challenge for orthopedic trauma surgery. Due to chronic pain and loss of mobility, pseudarthrosis can lead to a considerable impairment of the individual quality of life and the often long duration of treatment represents a high socioeconomic burden. The lower extremities are most frequently affected due to the high biomechanical stress. A multimodal concept combining diagnostics and treatment is necessary to adequately address this complex clinical condition.
