High-energy extracorporeal shock wave treatment of nonunions.

Abstract:

:Forty-three consecutive patients who did not have healing of tibial or femoral diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures and osteotomies for at least 9 months after injury or surgery were examined prospectively for use of high-energy extracorporeal shock waves. Former treatment modalities (cast, external fixator, plate osteosynthesis, limitation of weightbearing) remained unchanged. In all cases a 99mTechnetium dicarboxyphosphonate regional two-phase bone scintigraphy was performed before one treatment with 3,000 impulses of an energy flux density of 0.6 mJ/mm2. Radiologic and clinical followups were done at 4-week intervals starting 8 weeks after shock wave treatment. The success criterion was bridging of all four cortices in the anteroposterior and lateral radiographic views, in oblique views, or by conventional tomography. An independent observer described bony consolidation in 31 of 43 cases (72%) after an average of 4 months (range, 2-7 months). Twenty-nine of 35 (82.9%) patients with a positive bone scan had healing of the pseudarthrosis compared with two of eight (25%) patients with a negative bone scan. Six of these eight patients with negative scans were heavy smokers. No complications were observed. High-energy shock wave therapy seemed to be an effective noninvasive tool for stimulation of bone healing in properly selected patients with a diaphyseal or metaphyseal nonunion of the femur or tibia. Additional controlled studies are mandatory.
