Analysis of serum TGF-β expression level. TGF-β serum level comparison over time for the entire study patients divided into groups (Union: Fracture patients with proper healing, Non-Union: Fracture patients developing non-unions, BMP-7: Non-union patients treated with BMP-7) expressed as means and SEM. Serum concentration was measured in nanogram per milliliter (ng/ml). The Wilcoxon signed rank test assessed significant differences between both groups at each particular time point (* indicates significant differences between the Non-Union and BMP-7 Group, whereas † indicates significant differences between Union and Non-Union Group p < 0.05)
