Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of atrophic non-unions of femoral shaft fractures

Abstract

For patients with atrophic non-unions of femoral shaft fractures, ESWT can be used as an alternative and effective non-invasive method of treatment. ESWT treatment does not negatively influence/compromise previous surgeries and if needed it can be followed by additional surgeries without any complications.
