Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Do mesenchymal stem cells accelerate new bone formation in persistent non-unions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Do mesenchymal stem cells accelerate new bone formation in persistent non-unions treated with carrier plus in vitro expanded autologous BMSCs or carrier alone (control). Secondary aims were to analyze predictors of union in these patients and describe adverse events at final follow-up.

carrier plus BMSCs

carrier plus in vitro expanded autologous BMSCs

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

carrier plus in vitro expanded autologous BMSCs

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

The non-unions of fractures were stabilized with internal or external fixation devices. The non-union site was clearly exposed and decorticated to introduce sub-periosteal bone graft. Depending on the surgical approach, the site was partitioned in either medial/lateral or anterior/posterior sides. The contents of each universal container were mixed individually with a carrier by the surgeon, who was blinded to the contents of the container

carrier alone (control).
