Traumatic Humeral Shaft Non-union With Ulnar Nerve Transection: An Orthobiologics Success Story

Long bone non-union is a detrimental, yet common condition that affects many individuals after injury. It can lead to significant pain and weakness that may impact lifetime productivity and quality of life. This report describes a patient who suffered from greater than two years of a distal humerus...

description Long bone non-union is a detrimental, yet common condition that affects many individuals after injury. It can lead to significant pain and weakness that may impact lifetime productivity and quality of life. This report describes a patient who suffered from greater than two years of a distal humerus fracture non-union along with an ulnar nerve transection that failed traditional surgical management and underwent a percutaneous injection with bone marrow aspirate concentrate, platelet-rich plasma, and platelet lysate, demonstrating subsequent fracture resolution and strength improvement.
