Abstract
Introduction: Pseudarthrosis is a complication that occurs in the process of consolidation of the fractured bone, being caused, above all, by mechanical instability, deficient vascularization and inadequate or late treatment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to discuss the risk factors that permeate this clinical scenario, in order to aim for an improvement in patient’s quality of life and prevent such situation. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review. The Health Sciences Descriptors platform (DeCS/MeSH) was used, using the descriptors “pseudoarthrosis” and “risk factors” in both Portuguese and English. Therefore, a search was carried out in the databases: Pubmed, Lilacs and Scielo. A total of 363 articles were obtained. The inclusion criteria are articles from the last 5 years that answer the research question and are in Portuguese, English or Spanish, with 14 articles being included to build this research. Results: An increase in cases of pseudarthrosis was observed when related to infections, and social determinants were relevant in the complications of cases. Comorbidities proved to be possible post-surgical complications and there was a relationship between spinal deformity in adults, pseudarthrosis and nail fracture. There were also interferences from surgical techniques and the possibility of a pseudarthrosis outcome. Conclusion: Therefore, it was possible to realize that there are several risk factors for pseudarthrosis. Faced with multifactorial causes, it is necessary to understand each patient's condition, seeking to improve quality of life, in order to mitigate factors that predispose to the development of pseudarthrosis.
