Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) e First choice treatment of fracture non-unions?
Fracture non-unions are still a challenging problem in orthopedics. The treatment of non-unions remains highly individualized, complex, and demanding. In most countries the surgical approach with debridement of the non-union gap, anatomical reduction and appropriate osteosynthesis along with autologous bone...

Influence of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on bone turnover markers in organisms with normal and low bone mineral density during fracture healing: a randomized clinical trial
Low bone mineral density (BMD) leads to metaphyseal fractures, which are considered of delayed, qualitatively reduced healing Christoph Wölfl 1 Laura Schuster2 resulting in prolonged care phases and increased socioeconomic costs. Bernd Höner3 Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is already approved...
