TL;DR: The authors' cumulative analysis, providing for each grade of open injury and each particular method of treatment a summarised estimate of effect size for the most important outcome measures of open tibial fractures, constitutes a useful tool of the practicing surgeon for optimal decision making when operative treatment of such fractures is contemplated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The health economics of the treatment of long-bone non-unions.
TL;DR: A review of the existing evidence on economic costs of treatment of long-bone fracture non-unions revealed costs of pound 15,566, pound 17,200 and pound 16,330 for humeral, femoral, and tibial non- unions respectively on a "best-case scenario".
Journal ArticleDOI
