Demineralized Bone Matrix Add-On for Acceleration of Bone Healing in Atypical Subtrochanteric Femoral Fracture: A Consecutive Case-Control Study

Figure 2

Radiographs from case examples with atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture (ST-AFF) treated using demineralized bone matrix (DBM group). Preoperative (a) and immediate postoperative (b) radiographs showed ST-AFF treated with cephalomedullary nail. Follow-up radiographs after 3-month (c) and 4.5-month (d) period demonstrated the appropriate callus formation on anterior, posterior, and medial cortex and therefore was considered healed fracture. The fracture remodeling without complication was confirmed on 6-month, 8-month, and 11-month radiographs postoperatively.
