Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union.

UD engineer Michael Hast leads an NIH-funded effort to identify impaired bone healing earlier with MRI-based computer models Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on ...

For patients with a broken shin bone, a new generation of smart orthopedic implants is being developed that can not only monitor healing progression at the bone fracture site, but can use controlled ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies ...

Penn State College of Medicine researchers are studying how cannabinoids may manage pain and promote bone healing in bone fractures. Fluorescence microscopy reveals how periosteal bone progenitors, ...

A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood supply to the tissue at the ...

Bone fracture healing is a highly coordinated process involving inflammation, fibrovascular formation, and mineralization. Vascularization plays a pivotal role, as inadequate blood supply can severely ...

CD47-null femoral fractures show reduced bone formation, but increased tissue mineral density. µCT analysis of transverse femoral fracture in WT (n = 9) and CD47-null (n = 11-14) mice at 10- and ...

Electrical stimulation therapy is a recent, popular alternative treatment. Bone growth stimulators are sometimes used for fractures that haven’t healed on their own. After treatment, your body works ...

A wrist fracture is a break in a wrist bone. It is often the result of a fall or trauma. The most common cause of this injury is a fall on an outstretched hand. A wrist fracture is a break in one of ...
