Cancer treatments may impair bone architecture and mobility over time. Simple daily lifestyle measures including good ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies ...

Study finds more than 13% prevalence of low bone mineral density in younger patients with celiac disease and a rising ...

Bone density still matters. It’s the best clinical predictor we have, and it tends to peak in early adulthood, and declines with age (faster after menopause). The goal is to build what you can, and ...

A comminuted fracture is when a bone breaks into three or more pieces. These typically require surgery and take longer to heal than other fractures. A comminuted fracture happens when you break a bone ...

Glucocorticoid use in myasthenia gravis patients increases fracture risk by reducing bone density and weakening bone structure. Combining FRAX and MG-ADL scales enhances the identification of ...

A new study has found that the bone fracture protection women get from menopausal hormone therapy (MHT, also known as HRT) disappears within a year of stopping treatment. In the new study, published ...

Intramedullary Nailing, Implant Failure, Long Bone Fractures, Subtrochanteric Fracture, Systematic Review Oyagbesan, O.S.

The biomechanics of bone fracture fixation encompasses the study and optimisation of implant designs and fixation techniques to stabilise fractured bones while promoting biological healing. This field ...

A new paper in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, published by Oxford University Press, finds that bone fracture rates in older women differ by race, quite significantly. While researchers have ...
