Nonunion Fracture | Biological: Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells Procedure: debridement | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
In this study, patients of nonunion after limb fracture will be treated with human amniotic epithelial cells. Clinical and radiological assessment is performed.
hAECs developing from the epiblast as early as 8 days after fertilization, recent data reported indicate that hAECs possess proper osteogenic differentiation potential and a localized modulatory influence on the early tissue remodeling process, making these cells a promising stem cell source for bone regeneration after fractures.

- time for bone union [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Bone union was evaluated at 6-month after surgery according to the following definition.Definition of bone union is when simple X-ray findings reveal that bone trabeculae or cortical bone exceeds the fracture site.
- pain in fracture site [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- limb functional score [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
