Bone turnover markers as surrogates of fracture healing after intramedullary fixation of tibia and femur fractures

Bone turnover markers as surrogates of fracture healing after intramedullary fixation of tibia and femur fractures

Aims: Bone turnover markers (BTMs) follow distinct trends after fractures and limited evidence suggests differential levels in BTMs in patients with delayed healing. The effect of vitamin D, and other factors that influence BTMs and fracture healing, is important to elucidate the use of BTMs as surr...
