A member asked:
Is there any correlation between fracture or ulnar osteotomy non-unions and the use of ppis? what are the studies that have been done, if any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't know of any --: Relationship between nonunions ; the use of the ppi's. Maybe someone else might know more about it. Smoking is certainly implicated in development of nonunions ; improper ; insufficient immobilization of a fx or an osteotomy can go on to develop it. Hope I have answered your question.
