The EXOGEN system is not for everyone. EXOGEN treatment is not indicated for use in patients lacking skeletal maturity (such as in children) and is also not approved for use in the skull or spine. Only your surgeon can determine if the EXOGEN treatment is right for you.
Some cases when patients could benefit from EXOGEN treatment include:
- Patients whose fractures are not healing, showing little or no bone regrowth in an X-ray several weeks or months after the fracture.
- Patients with an appropriate fresh fracture who absolutely need to heal as fast as possible. Perhaps they are an athlete or they have important business or family commitments.
