Introduction

The delay looks radiographically as a fracture callus not very evident or absent 6 months after osteosynthesis. Patients undergo a long period of immobilization and this fact causes the increase the social cost of the disease. The technique we suggest aims to the reduce the period of immobilization and as a consequence the management costs of the disease.

Materials and methods

Our technique includes the infiltration of the delay focus with platelet rich fibrin, bone marrow concentrated and demineralized bone matrix. Outpatients and radiographic checks were carried out 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. The treatment was considered fail in case of absence of bone callus at 3 out of 4 corticals at the rx after 6 months from surgery.
