Ken and Norman and others:

I spoke to our ortho trauma surgeons and they referred me to a recent
overview in the British Edition of JBJS (Inhibition of fracture healing
M S Gaston <javascript:void(0);> , A H R W Simpson <javascript:void(0);>
. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
<http://proquest.umi.com.ez.sun.ac.za/pqdweb?RQT=318&pmid=28785&TS=12161
04512&clientId=57290&VInst=PROD&VName=PQD&VType=PQD> . (British volume).
London: Dec 2007
<http://proquest.umi.com.ez.sun.ac.za/pqdweb?RQT=572&VType=PQD&VName=PQD
&VInst=PROD&pmid=28785&pcid=38287321&SrchMode=3&aid=1> . Vol. 89, Iss.
12; pg. 1553, 8 pgs).

The section on NSAIDs has the following two human studies as references
suggesting that NSAID's delay healing significantly. I'm not necessarily
supporting the contention, just passing on the info.

 Burd TA, Hughes MS, Anglen JO. Heterotopic ossification prophylaxis
with indomethacin increases the risk of long-bone nonunion. J Bone Joint
Surg [Br] 2003;85-B:700-5.
 Giannoudis PV, MacDonald DA, Matthews SJ, et al. Nonunion of the
femoral diaphysis: the influence of reaming and non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs. J Bone Joint Surg /flr/2000;82-B:655-8.
