Increased serum OPG in atrophic nonunion shaft fractures

BACKGROUND: Bone repair alteration is hypothesized for nonunion fracture pathogenesis. Since it is involved in osteoclast regulation, the RANK/RANKL/OPG system (receptor activator of nuclear factor kB/its ligand/osteoprotegerin) may play a role. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Serum OPG, free RANKL, bone alk...
