Humeral shaft non-union in the elderly: Results with cortical graft plus stem cells
Injury(2019)
Abstract
Introduction: Humeral shaft is a common site of fracture non-union. Biology and bone quality represent some of the problems that the orthopaedic surgeon has to face up in the elderly. The goals of treatment of humeral shaft non-union are the achievement of mechanical stability and creation of a favourable biologic environment. Bone graft and stem cells are some of the augmentation techniques available to reach these goals.
