Extracorporal shock wave therapy for the treatment of arthrodesis non-unions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery"
DOI: 10.1007/s00402-020-03361-2
Abstract: Introduction Non-union is a regular complication of arthrodeses. Standard treatment includes revision surgery with frequent need for re-revision due to persistent non-union. Particularly patients with concomitant diseases are at risk of secondary complications. There is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0020-1383(17)30496-5
Abstract: BACKGROUND Femoral diaphyseal non-unions present difficult scenario to manage. There are multiple options but most of them still report varying incidences of failure. We combined the principles of augmented plating and exchange nailing and aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-24729-7
Abstract: Scaphoid fractures are the second most common wrist injury after distal radius fractures and primarily affect young individuals in their most productive working years. Some scaphoid fractures fail to heal, potentially resulting in chronic pain,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1530/eor-22-0140
Abstract: Purpose The fixation method of distal, extra-articular femur fractures is a controversially discussed. To ensure better stability itself, earlier mobilization and to prevent blood loss – all these are justifications for addressing the femur via… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.809397
Abstract: Deficient angiogenesis and disturbed osteogenesis are key factors for the development of nonunions. Mineral-coated microparticles (MCM) represent a sophisticated carrier system for the delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2.… read more here.

Bone Healing Gone Wrong: Pathological Fracture Healing and Non-Unions—Overview of Basic and Clinical Aspects and Systematic Review of Risk Factors
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Bioengineering"
DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10010085
Abstract: Bone healing is a multifarious process involving mesenchymal stem cells, osteoprogenitor cells, macrophages, osteoblasts and -clasts, and chondrocytes to restore the osseous tissue. Particularly in long bones including the tibia, clavicle, humerus and femur, this… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11111135
Abstract: Introduction: Non-unions are fractures that do not heal properly, resulting in a false joint formation at the fracture site. This condition leads to major health issues and imposes a burden on national healthcare systems. The… read more here.
