Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

That unmistakable sound of bone giving way under pressure sends immediate dread through anyone who hears it. Broken bones account for millions of medical visits annually in the United States alone, ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

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 ...

Scientists at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have made a great leap forward in predicting the risk of hip fracture among women due to osteoporosis. They have discovered that it is not necessary to ...

Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics professor Ottman Tertuliano received a 2024 National Science Foundation CAREER Award for his research on nanoscale bone fractures and the external forces ...

A subchondral fracture is a type of injury that occurs due to repetitive stress in the layer of bone tissue just beneath the cartilage. It often happens to the knees or hips of older adults.

Researchers show that analyzing just 7% of the hip bone can predict fracture risk with 95% accuracy, improving osteoporosis ...

Growth plate fractures are injuries to the soft connective tissue in the ends of long bones of children and teens. This soft tissue makes it possible for bones to grow as children age. It’s also ...
