Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Regenerative medicine

Context:

  • Non-union of long bones remains a significant clinical challenge.
  • Treatment strategies vary based on non-union characteristics.

Purpose:

  • To review current and emerging treatments for long bone non-union.
  • To provide an overview of available therapeutic modalities.

Summary:

  • Current treatments involve bone fixation, bone grafting (isolated or vascularized), and biophysical stimulation.
  • Emerging options include biological bone inducers like bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs).

Impact:

  • Informed clinical decision-making for non-union management.
  • Potential for improved patient outcomes in fracture healing.
