Abstract:

BACKGROUND: As bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be differentiated into osteoblasts under certain induction conditions, autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be implanted into the bone nonunion site of bone fracture. This new technology garners increasing attention of orthopedic clinicians.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical efficacy of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of bone nonunion of limb fractures.
METHODS: A computer-based search of Foreign Medical Journal Full-Text Service and CNKI databases was performed for articles related to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of bone nonunion of limb fractures published from 1998 to 2014 using the keywords of “bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), stem cell transplantation (SCT), nonunions, tissue engineering” in English and Chinese, respectively. Literatures with repetitive content and lack of originality were excluded. A total of 36 literatures were obtained for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are transplanted into the end of bone nonunion, and then can be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts to repair bone nonunion and bone defects,laying a theoretical basis for clinical application. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can repair bone defects, which provides an effective method and material to promote fracture healing. Transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells is safe and effective for treatment of bone nonunion of limb fracture.
