The optimal treatment strategy for post-traumatic long bone non-unions is subject of an ongoing discussion. At the Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+) the induced membrane technique is used to treat post-traumatic long bone non-unions. This technique uses a multimodal treatment algorithm involving bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), the reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) and P-15 bioactive peptide (iFactor, Cerapedics). Bioactive glass (S53P4 BAG, Bonalive) is added when infection is suspected. This study aims to objectify the effect of this treatment algorithm on the health-related
