0278 - Human Atrophic Non-union Fractures Are Not Avascular
ثبت نشده
چکیده
On average one in two people will sustain at least one fracture during their life. The majority of these fractures heal quickly. Unfortunately, however, some fractures are slow to heal and may remain un-united for several years. Currently non-union fractures are mainly categorised according to their X-ray appearance. Hypertrophic non-unions are often considered to be biologically active and vascular and have the potential to heal given the correct stable environment. In contrast atrophic non-unions are considered to be relatively avascular, acellular and inert, lacking the ability to heal even under the correct stable environment. The aim of the study was to investigate the vascularity of normally healing fractures and non-union fractures, in order to test the hypothesis that atrophic non-unions are less vascular than hypertrophic nonunions and normally healing fractures.
