Abstract

Severe bone fractures constitute a complex medical condition. There are 11 to 15 million bone fractures in lower and upper limbs in the United States, per year. Up to 12% of fractures fail to heal even with the best treatment, resulting in non-union. Such fractures result in frequent hospitalizations, multiple surgical procedures, extended pain, increased morbidity, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. .
