* In addition, they are indicated for accelerating the time to a healed fracture for fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius fractures and fresh, closed or Grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature individuals when these fractures are orthopaedically managed by closed reduction and cast immobilization.

† A non-union is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing. Rx only.
