Healing of Humerus Non-union Fracture Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein With Bone Graft Compared to Bone Graft Alone: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Non-union fractures of the humerus present significant challenges in orthopedic surgery, often requiring advanced treatments to achieve successful bone healing. The study aimed to compare the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) with bone grafts versus bone grafts alone for treating humerus non-union fractures with regard to healing rate and complications. Six databases, PubMed, ScienceDirect, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, were searched for relevant literature using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and studies were selected according to the set eligibility criteria.
