Broken bones have an amazing ability to heal, especially in children. New bone forms within a few weeks of the injury, although full healing can take longer. When a bone breaks, the body sends out ...

Broken bones (or fractures) have an amazing ability to heal, especially in young people. New bone forms within a few weeks of the injury. Depending on the exact bone and type of break, full healing ...

In this study, we further elucidated the mechanisms of naringin-induced osteoblast maturation and bone healing. Treatment of human osteoblasts with naringin increased cell viability and proliferation.

Since the early 2000s, borate bioactive glasses (BBGs) have been extensively investigated for biomedical applications. The research so far indicates that BBGs frequently exhibit superior bioactivity ...

The problem of using male anatomy as the default in medicine is that it doesn’t always read across to female bodies.

Paris - Ocean coral can help to mend broken bones that the body cannot fix naturally, according to French researchers. Scientists from the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory in Paris used grafts of sea ...

The most common procedure involves use of a bone graft and intramedullary rod (placed inside the bone) to promote healing. In other cases, the patient may require removal of the abnormal portion of ...

Intravenous antibiotics were started empirically and were altered based on sensitivities. The challenged soft tissue was allowed to heal for two weeks before gradually correcting the proximal ...

If you have one break in your fibula, you'll likely heal without surgery. But with more than one break, the ring of bone around your ankle can be unstable. In this case, you may need surgery to ...

Coral scaffolds and biohybrids were implanted in 25 mm defects in sheep metatarsals, and healing was followed as described earlier. We evaluated the capacity of the tissue-engineered bone to ...
