Complications of fractures and their healing

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1988
The role of nuclear medicine studies in diagnosing late complications of fractures is described. Static bone scintigraphy is not helpful in predicting delayed or non-union of fractures. Several investigators have developed simple formulae comparing uptake in fracture site with adjacent or contralateral normal bone and described criteria that will ...

Mechanisms of Fracture Healing

Hospital Practice, 1991
Bone is remarkable in that...it regenerates itself. In fact, it is the only tissue...except the liver with that regenerative capacity....The stages of healing in fracture callus recapitulate the spatial zones seen in the growth plate of a child.

Reaming and the healing of fractures

Nigerian Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2004
OBJECTIVE: We quantified fracture healing response in the intramedullary nailed fractures of femur. PATIENTS AND METHOD: By a simple method of measuring size and mass of callus formation radiologically in 30 patients who had undergone open retrograde intramedullary Kuntscher nailing.

MicroRNAs and Fracture Healing

Calcified Tissue International, 2017
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules found to have major regulatory roles in many biological processes. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent advances in knowledge of the role of miRNAs in fracture healing and bone repair. A search of the published literature was performed (using the PubMed database) to include all relevant studies ...

Fracture Healing Perspectives

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985
This paper reviews the sequence of histomorphologic changes that occur in and around a fracture site, and discusses recent concepts about the roles of the cells and bone matrical moieties in promoting specific cell transformations during the phases of callus tissue formation and consolidation of the bony cortex.

Principles of fracture healing

The Foundation Years, 2006
Abstract This contribution discusses why and how bones break, the stages of fracture healing, and the factors that influence these processes. The treatment of these fractures is then discussed in detail.

Healing of Fractures

1984
The healing of a fracture is one of the most remarkable ‘repair jobs’ that the human body is capable of carrying out. Not only does it lay down new tissue to make non-elastic scar tissue, but it also actually attempts and succeeds to reproduce the normal architecture of the bone in question.

STUDIES ON FRACTURE HEALING

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1955
In the present investigation, the uptake of radio-active phosphorus was studied at different intervals from one week to one year after the fracturing of rat femora. At the same time, the weight of the bone ash was measured. In conformity with previous results, there was an increased uptake of radio-active phosphorus not only at the site of the fracture,

Experimental Fracture Healing

Archives of Surgery, 1973
Every physician who treats fractures wants a therapeutic means of accelerating fracture healing. The prospect of such therapy deserves having special attention called to it. Benfer and Struck (see p 838) provide evidence that locally applied soluble pig collagen benefits fracture healing.

Assessment of Fracture Healing

2006
Markel and Chao [1] underlined that long bone fractures consolidate without complications in most patients. Moreover, in patients in whom the use of complex monitoring techniques of fracture healing was indicated, these techniques were often in an experimental stage and hardly available, and their use was limited to the study of some selected bone ...
