Angulated fractures involve a broken bone that tilts at an angle. Most cases require some form of realignment using a cast or other measures for proper healing. An angulated fracture occurs when a ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Fat tissue stem cells have shown a remarkable ability to heal spinal fractures and restore bone strength in rats. The discovery could pave the way for safer, less invasive treatments for osteoporosis ...

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 ...

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 ...

New evidence suggests that the risk for fracture increases within months of low-dose prednisone, challenging the idea of a ...

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 ...
