Bone repair and osteogenic potential diminish with ageing, with corresponding implications for fracture repair in elderly individuals. A new study published in Nature Communications shows that young ...

(HealthDay)—A three-dimensional (3-D)-printed short-segment template prototype is feasible for management of complex mandibular fractures, according to a study published online April 26 in JAMA Facial ...

Severe fractures in infants can heal on their own through a process that has eluded scientists. A study now reveals that a fractured arm bone in newborn mice can rapidly realign through a previously ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies Apex1 as a redox-regulated driver of fracture repair. Using genetic mouse ...

Ocular motility, diplopia and frequency of strabismus surgery postoperatively were comparable in patients undergoing repair of orbital fracture within 14 days of trauma and in those undergoing surgery ...

New research highlights a novel bone anabolic agent that, when injected, intravenously reduces femur fracture healing time by 60 percent without impacting the surrounding healthy tissue. There are ...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paragon 28, Inc. (NYSE: FNA) is pleased to announce the launch of the Phantom® Fibula Nail System, designed to give surgeons a less invasive option to treat the ...

Japanese researchers are testing a surprising, minimally invasive way to repair spine fractures. A team at Osaka Metropolitan University found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair breaks similar ...

Researchers have developed a novel biomaterial like a bandage. Stem cells and bone cells are grown on the bandage and stuck on the fracture. They can speed the process of healing. Novel material that ...
