Abstract
Non-union is a common and serious complication in orthopaedic surgery with high socioeconomic importance. In addition to conventional methods for the treatment of non-unions bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 for the induction of bone tissue is available. The case report demonstrates successful treatment of a septic and atrophic femoral non-union by combination therapy with BMP-7 and autologous spongiosa graft after multiple revision surgeries.Entities:
