Quantitative, Structural and Image-based Mechanical Analysis of Nonunion Fracture Repaired by Genetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells

TL;DR: Although MSCs induce bone formation, which exceeds the fracture site, significant remodeling of the repair callus occurs over time, which could indicate the clinical benefit of future MSC application in nonunion fracture repair.
