E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the clinical and radiological outcome of tibial diaphysary non-unions in patients surgically treated with adjunct use of BMP-7 compared to the adjunct use of demineralized bone matrix (DBM).

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To investigate the effect of surgical treatment of non-union of tibial fractures with BMP-7 or DBM on quality of life and to investigate the socio-economic implications.
