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 ...

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 ...

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) might someday help bone fracture patients manage their pain, according to a new study. In a study in mice, the researchers unexpectedly found that the ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

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 ...

Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on track often takes just as long. Doctors typically rely on periodic X-rays, capturing two-dimensional images to see how the ...

Bone stimulators are devices that use electrical currents, magnetic fields, or ultrasound to encourage bone growth in fractures that are slow to heal. Research shows they can ease pain and lower the ...

Aiming to shorten fracture recovery times, a research group is focusing on plasma irradiation as a treatment method to speed up bone healing. "Break a leg!" is a welcome blessing of good luck, but who ...
