Abstract
Abstract Fractures and nonunions of bones are more readily healed without muscle atrophy, etc., by injecting a liquefied composition containing a non-necrotic vascular sclerosing agent into the site of the fracture or nonunion. No cast is used. The preferred nonnecrotic vascular sclerosing agent is sodium morrhuate.
