Radial extracorporeal shock wave promotes the treatment of non-union of femoral shaft fractures in children: a case report
rESWT effectively reverses post-FIN nonunion in pediatric femoral shaft fractures, with advantages of non-invasiveness, safety, and good compliance. It is a feasible alternative for surgery-limited cases, though long-term efficacy needs large-scale validation.
