Cochrane corner: bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) for fracture healing in adults
Background:
Delay in fracture healing is a complex clinical and economic issue for patients and health services.
Objectives:
To assess the incremental effectiveness and costs of bone morphogenetic protein on fracture healing in fractures and nonunions compared with standards of care.
Search Strategy:
We searched The Cochrane Library (2008, Issue 4), MEDLINE, and other major health and health economics databases (to October 2008).
Selection Criteria:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and full or partial economic evaluations of bone morphogenetic protein for fracture healing in skeletally mature adults.
Data Collection And Analysis:
All clinical and economic data were extracted by one author and checked by another.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
