Abstract:
The aim of this paper was assessment of utility of serum osteocalcin levels in monitoring early stages of bone healing and early detection of bone healing disorders. Serum osteocalcin level and alkaline phosphatase activity was assessed with acute long bone fractures and with delayed bone union and pseudoarthroses. 25 patients underwent the trial. The analysis of the results confirmed the utility of serum osteocalcin level as a prognostic factor in early detecting of union disorders and its correlation to radiological examination.
