The treatment results were followed up and statistics was done to evaluate fracture healing at 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 weeks respectively. Results Of the 53 fractures, 48 achieved clinical union and 27 solid union within 12 weeks, 51 reached clinical union and 47 solid union within 16 weeks, 53 reached clinical union and 52 solid union within 20 weeks, and all reached solid union within 24 weeks.
