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 ...

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 ...

Sporting autographed casts for months may one day become a thing of the past. The FDA has approved a noninvasive bone healing device designed to be worn after a fracture that uses ultrasound waves to ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A scaphoid fracture involves a break of one of the bones on the thumb side of the wrist. The scaphoid bone plays a role in the ability to move the wrist joint. There are surgical and nonsurgical ...

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 ...
