LAS VEGAS — The evidence in published orthopedic literature is insufficient to determine a definite correlation between early axial interfragmentary motion and fracture healing outcomes, according to data presented here.
“Preliminary evidence does suggest favorable association between small interfragmentary motion and fracture healing. However, despite reviewing half a century of research, the optimal range of interfragmentary motion needed to stimulate successful fracture healing remains elusive,” Griffin R. Rechter, BS, said at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
