Repair of Bone-Transplant Fractures

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1958
Fresh autogenous-bone transplant fractures in rabbits have the capacity to unite as early as two weeks in more than two-thirds of the animals. Some of the surface cells of the transplants appeared to survive and proliferate to produce new bone. The graft replacement occurred by creeping substitution. The transplants were well tolerated by host tissues.

Electrical Stimulation of Bone Repair

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1991
Interest in methods of accelerating bone healing persists. Electrical stimulation has demonstrated consistently high success rates in recalcitrant, complicated nonunions. The promise of successful noninvasive alternatives for treating nonunions continues to be realized.

Gene Expression During Bone Repair

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1993
Detailed understanding of the basic events in fracture healing constitutes a foundation for the development of new approaches to stimulate bone healing. Since the fracture healing process repeats, in an adult organism, several stages of skeletal growth in the same temporal order, it offers an interesting model for developmental regulation of cellular ...

Bone Repair Techniques, Bone Graft, and Bone Graft Substitutes

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1999
This paper reviews the techniques and materials (bone graft and bone graft substitutes) that currently are used to treat nonunions and bone defects. The techniques reviewed are intramedullary nailing, plating, distraction osteogenesis, and electric stimulation.

Composite biomaterials for bone repair

2009
The fast replacement of native functionality (i.e., biological, chemical, mechanical) of damaged skeletal tissues currently represents the main challenge of clinical surgery. Through an accurate study of natural tissues and biomimesis, advanced biomaterials can be designed in the form of porous scaffolds to create hierarchical porous structures with ...

Photoengineering of Bone Repair Processes

Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 2006
Objective: This paper aims to report the state of the art with respect to photoengineering of bone repair using laser therapy. Background Data: Laser therapy has been reported as an important tool to positively stimulate bone both in vivo

Physiological Challenges of Bone Repair

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2012
Bone healing after fracture occurs in a well-organized manner and involves a multitude of cell types, inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, prostaglandins, and certain vitamins. Some of the means by which alterations in these essential components affect bone repair are understood, whereas others still need to be delineated.

Growth factors in bone repair

La Chirurgia degli Organi di Movimento, 2008
The role of growth factors (GF) in bone repair is widely recognised, particularly for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Repair of Bone Defects by Bone Inductive Material

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1979
Experimental fibular defects in 16 rats were filled with an acid decalcified homogenous bone matrix (bone inductive material). Autogenous bone grafts in corresponding defects in the other legs of the same rats served as controls. After 3 months, 11 of the 16 defects filled with bone inductive material healed with bony union, but only 4 of the 16 ...
