Genetic polymorphisms of NOS2 and predisposition to fracture non-union: A case control study based on Han Chinese population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 A non-union, especially atrophic non-unions, is a permanent failure of healing following a fracture and can be difficult to treat. Approximately 5-10% of fractures will result in a non-union during the healing process.

Scope and Limits of Teriparatide Use in Delayed and Nonunions: A Case Series
Clinics and Practice, 2021 Nonunion is known to occur in up to 10% of all bone fractures. Until recently, the treatment options considered in cases of delayed union and nonunion focused on revision surgery and improvement of local healing.

Assessment of tibial fracture healing with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry: influence of metallic implants at the fracture site [PDF]
, 1995 Evaluation of the progress of fracture healing traditionally combines manual fracture manipulation with a visual radiographic assessment. This approach can lead to satisfactory healing, but trouble can ensue when the type of fixation compromises the ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (EWS) are the most common primary bone cancers in children, but acute thrombosis is poorly characterized in this population. Our study evaluated the rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and associated risk factors in pediatric patients with bone sarcomas treated over a 10‐year period encompassing
