Rethink fracture treatment

EXOGEN gives you a reason to rethink the way you treat fractures. Studies have found that EXOGEN ultrasound bone stimulation may speed healing of indicated* fresh fractures and may help heal non-union* fractures. EXOGEN is the only device with a fresh fracture indication* for radius fractures and tibia fractures. For stubborn breaks, it may prevent the need for surgery.¹

Indications

The non-invasive EXOGEN system is the only FDA-approved device indicated to accelerate healing for indicated* fresh tibia fractures and radius fractures. It has also been indicated for treatment of established non-union* fractures, excluding skull and vertebra. It has not been tested in skeletally immature patients or pregnant women.

Efficacy

Clinical studies have shown that EXOGEN accelerates the healing of indicated* fresh fractures by 38%.^2,12

• Shown to heal cortical bone in tibia 58 days faster²
• Shown to heal cancellous bone in distal radius 37 days faster¹²

It has been demonstrated to heal 86% of non-union* fractures.

• 74.8% of humerus non-union* fractures¹³
• 77.8% of clavicle non-union* fractures¹³
• 84.5% of femur non-union* fractures¹³
• 92.0% of metatarsal non-union* fractures¹³
• 93.2% of scaphoid non-union* fractures¹³
• 95.7% of hand/wrist non-union* fractures¹³

EXOGEN may accelerate fracture healing in patients with certain risk factors — including obesity, advanced age and tobacco use — by as much as 50%.¹¹

• Shown to heal 81.6% of smokers with non-union* fractures¹⁴
• Shown to heal older patients (≥30) ≈84 days faster²⁴
