Fracture healing following high energy tibial trauma: Ilizarov versus Taylor Spatial Frame [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: The optimal treatment of high energy tibial fractures remains controversial and a challenging orthopaedic problem. The role of external fi xators for all these tibial fractures has been shown to be crucial. Methods: A fi ve-year consecutive

Dysfunctional stem and progenitor cells impair fracture healing with age [PDF]
, 2019 Successful fracture healing requires the simultaneous regeneration of both the bone and vasculature; mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are directed to replace the bone tissue, while endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) form the new vasculature that supplies ...

Early pH Changes in Musculoskeletal Tissues upon Injury-Aerobic Catabolic Pathway Activity Linked to Inter-Individual Differences in Local pH [PDF]
, 2020 Local pH is stated to acidify after bone fracture. However, the time course and degree of acidification remain unknown. Whether the acidification pattern within a fracture hematoma is applicable to adjacent muscle hematoma or is exclusive to this ...

Correlation of serum PTH level and fracture healing speed in elderly patients with hip fracture
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019 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,
