OF FRACTURE NONUNION
All nonunions healed and showed bone union. The primary outcome, the period from cell transplantation to radiological fracture healing, was significantly shorter in the CD34 + cell transplantation group than in the historical control group for tibial nonunion (Healing of fracture nonunions of clinical trial patients subjected to CD34 + cell transplantation. Kaplan–Meier curve for the healing of fracture nonunions. The vertical and horizontal axes depict the cumulative radiological fracture healing probability and the weeks after the nonunion surgery, respectively. The solid line represents trial patients subjected to CD34 + cell transplantation, and the dotted line represents the historical controls.
