Non-unions

Abstract: SummaryNon-union of long bones is a significant consequence of fracture treatment. Bone regeneration is a complex physiological process of bone formation which can be seen during normal fracture healing. An improved understanding of the molecular and cellular events that occur during bone repair and remodelling has led to the development of biologic agents that can augment the biological microenvironment and enhance bone repair. Currently, there are different strategies to augment the impaired or "insufficient… Show more

“…Alveolar bone resorption due to periodontal disease may cause loss of teeth, potentially resulting in systemic infection, eating disturbance, malnutrition, and dementia 1 , 2 . Autologous bone graft has been performed to treat a patient with severe bone loss, but the preparation of a sufficient amount of bone for transplantation may cause adverse events such as pain in the patients at the sacrificed donor site 3 . In this context, an efficient regenerative therapy to treat bone loss and bone resorption disorders is strongly needed.…”

“…The process of bone healing occurs appropriately in the majority of cases through the formation of callus . However, some fractures fail to heal which can result in delayed union or persistent non‐union and prolonged disability . There are various causes of failed bone repair including inadequate blood supply, inappropriate angiogenesis, insufficient immobilization and infection .…”
