Spinal fusion is the attempt to fuse one vertebral body to another by strategically placing bone fragments and catalysts to encourage natural bone growth. In some cases, the spine does not fully fuse, resulting in continued motion rather than a solid fusion which would have eliminated the painful micro-motion. This is known as Psuedoarthrosis, or Nonunion. The most common symptom of a non-union is back or neck pain.

Nonunion is a failure of healing process. The treatment principle is to augment the healing process by freshening the ends of bone and the graft and provide adequate immobilisation. Typical treatment of non union is surgical. Following are the essential steps:
Exposure of fracture site
Freshening of sclerotic edges to get a bleeding surface
Opening of intramedullary cavities of fragments to facilitate flow of blood circulation
Rigid fixation
Bone grafting to augment bone healing.
