There are a variety of factors that influence patient healing from personality of the fracture to location of the fracture to certain patient risk factors.  A skilled orthopedic surgeon can provide great care and technical expertise to his/her patients, but biologic factors with some patients will play a role in delayed bone healing. EXOGEN◊ is a proven solution for non-unions. The chart below outlines some of the major factors that affect bone healing.

  • Summary of Indications for Use
The EXOGEN◊ Ultrasound Bone Healing System is indicated for the non-invasive treatment of established non-unions† excluding skull and vertebra. In addition, EXOGEN◊ is 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.

Contraindications: There are no known contraindications for the EXOGEN◊ device.  Warnings and precautions pertaining to the treatment of either condition may be found at www.exogen.com or by calling 1-800-836-4080.

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