Current modalities for fracture healing enhancement
Previously, most fractures have been treated through bone reduction and immobilization. With an increase in the patients' need for an early return to their normal function, development in surgical techniques and materials have accelerated.

Midkine-deficiency delays chondrogenesis during the early phase of fracture healing in mice. [PDF]
The growth and differentiation factor midkine (Mdk) plays an important role in bone development and remodeling. Mdk-deficient mice display a high bone mass phenotype when aged 12 and 18 months. Furthermore, Mdk has been identified as a negative regulator

Correlation of serum PTH level and fracture healing speed in elderly patients with hip fracture
Purpose To access serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level in elderly patients with hip fracture in relation to fracture healing outcomes. Methods This study included 90 elderly male patients with hip fracture and they were defined as the hip fracture group,

Diclofenac, a NSAID, delays fracture healing in aged mice
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac, belong to the most prescribed analgesic medication after traumatic injuries. However, there is accumulating evidence that NSAIDs impair fracture healing. Because bone regeneration in aged patients is subject to significant changes in cell differentiation and proliferation as well as a ...

Osseous Consolidation of an Aseptic Delayed Union of a Lower Leg Fracture after Parathyroid Hormone Therapy – A Case Report [PDF]
The absence of osseous consolidation of a fracture within the normal time period is defined as delayed union or non-union. Both for the patient and from a socio-economic point of view, impaired fracture healing represents a major problem.

Delayed healing of lower limb fractures with bisphosphonate therapy [PDF]
Introduction Bisphosphonate therapy (BT) is used commonly in the management of osteoporosis. A systematic review was conducted investigating delayed union of lower limb, long bone fractures in patients on BT. We specifically assessed whether BT increases the risk of delayed union or non-union in lower limb, long bone fractures.

M2 macrophage-derived exosomes promote diabetic fracture healing by acting as an immunomodulator
Diabetes mellitus is a chronically inflamed disease that predisposes to delayed fracture healing. Macrophages play a key role in the process of fracture healing by undergoing polarization into either M1 or M2 subtypes, which respectively exhibit pro ...

Fracture healing is delayed in the absence of gasdermin signaling [PDF]
Abstract Amino-terminal fragments from proteolytically cleaved gasdermins (GSDMs) form plasma membrane pores that enable the secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18. Excessive GSDM- mediated pore formation can compromise the integrity of the plasma membrane thereby causing the lytic inflammatory cell death ...
