A patient aged 36 fractured his left humerus in an off road buggy accident on the 4th September 2005. The fracture extended over the distal and middle thirds and was comminuted (in many pieces). X-rays (shown to the right) taken over three months later,

on the 9th December 2005 showed delayed union with no callus. the patient could feel the fracture moving. He was fitted with a mid-shaft plastic brace.

The patient first came to see us on the 19th December 2005 and was given MFT and Pulsed Scanning Laser. He had two more treatment sessions before further X-rays showed early milky callus high on the fracture. It was decided to boost his treatment by giving Tom Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment along with the MFT and Laser and the first session was given on the 17th January 2006. Tom went on to have a further five treatment sessions and when he had further X-rays on 10th February there was extensive callus - or in the patient words "there was callus just everywhere!"
