Pseudarthrosen beim Erwachsenen – ein Update

Trotz modernster therapeutischer Möglichkeiten bleibt je nach Frakturentität und initialer Versorgung unverändert in über 10% der Fälle die knöcherne Durchbauung eines Knochenbruchs aus. Wenn diese Fraktur ohne eine weitere therapeutische Maßnahme, entweder operativer oder konservativer Art, nicht zur Ausheilung kommt, liegt eine manifeste Pseudarthrose vor. Der Beitrag zeigt aktuelle diagnostische Standardabläufe und gibt eine Übersicht zu den Behandlungsoptionen der häufigsten adulten Pseudarthrosen.
