Femoral non-union above a fused knee: Successful treatment with exchange nailing and intramedullary delivery of bone morphogenetic protein
Bone healing is a complex and well-orchestrated physiological process, in which bone repairs and regenerates regaining its original biomechanical and biochemical properties. It is estimated that 5 to 10% of all fractures are complicated by delayed union or non-union. Progression to non-union is thou...
