Bone fracture healing includes a complex cascade of processes at cellular and biochemical levels, ending with a complete structural and functional restoration of the damaged bone. Impaired healing occurs in 5-10% of all fractures, manifesting as delayed union or non-union Such a high incidence of...
Facial bone healing and bone grafts. A review of clinical physiology. In Bone Repair and Regeneration This is an important contribution to the field of bone surgery. Too much is claimed for the bone graft as a therapeutic agent. Operations in which a transplant is used have been devised and...

The biology of fracture healing with closed intramedullary nailing follows the process of natural bone healing. The classic three phases of fracture healing are observed with haematoma formation, callus formation and callus remodelling. With this technique, the fractures are fixed with adequate stability...
In case of rapid deposition of new bone such as during fracture healing, this lamellar structure is missing and the bone is then called woven bone. Woven bone is consecutively remodeled into lamellar bone, which is also considered "mature" bone. The composition of the collagen backbone also ...
Physiologically, why does bone respond by rigidly integrating one implant and producing a fibrous interface with another? The healing mechanism for rigid osseous integration is well known and accepted. Conversely, the development of a fibrous interface is incompletely understood. This article suggests a...
Agents from these therapeutic classes have undergone extensive preclinical testing and progressed to clinical fracture healing trials. Each can promote bone formation, which is important for the stability of bridged calluses, and some but not all can also promote cartilage formation, which may be ...
The sitting or horizontal position is sought by the body to relieve the strain of the upright or vertical postures, for example during syncopal situations, bone fractures, muscle injuries, fatigue, and probably also to reduce energy expenditure. Most health-care personnel are aware that adaptive ...
Chemotherapy in wound healing These therapeutic agents are directed at altering cellular replication at multiple levels. The cells most affected are those that undergo rapid turnover. Bone marrow suppression of cells directly involved in the healing process are also affected, which results in fewer mon...
