• CeraPedics (Lakewood, Colorado), focused on the development of synthetic bone graft products incorporating its small peptide P-15 technology, reported that the results from a pilot study for the treatment of non-union and delayed union fractures have been published in the International Orthopaedics journal. The purpose study assessed the feasibility and clinical outcome of using CeraPedics' P-15 bone graft substitute (P-15 BGS) to treat non-union and delayed union fractures. Full consolidation was achieved in 90% (20 of 22) of the patients treated with the P-15 BGS. The average time for full consolidation was 4.2 months. Histological assessment of the fracture callus in five of the patients confirmed the positive clinical and radiographic results.
