Association of fracture configuration and callus formation with a concentration of proinflammatory cytokines in children with long bone fractures [PDF]
Background/Aim. The inflammatory response is of utmost importance in bone healing, but the precise role of cells and cytokines remains unclear. In our study, we examined the as-sociation between interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis fac-tors alpha (TNF ...

Association of bone fracture type and degree of callus formation with leptin concentration in children with long bone fractures [PDF]
Background/Aim. Recent studies indicate that adipokines have an important role in bone physiology and pathology. Recent data indicate that adipokine leptin functions as a regulator of bone growth at multiple levels, systemically and locally.

The role of hypertrophic chondrocytes in fracture healing
Fracture healing is a multifactorial process. Most fractures are healed by the process of endochondral ossification, involving the formation of a cartilaginous soft callus and the process of cartilage-tobone transition.
