<P> Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention ( such as surgery ) is performed . A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint , and is therefore often called a `` false joint '' or pseudoarthrosis ( the Greek stem `` pseudo - '' means false and `` arthrosis '' means joint ) . The diagnosis is generally made when there is no healing between two sets of X-ray . This is generally after 6 -- 8 months . </P>
