Bones are metabolically active organs. Their reconstruction is crucial for the proper
functioning of the skeletal system during bone growth and remodeling, fracture healing, and …

The human skeleton, made of 206 bones, plays vital roles including supporting the body,
protecting organs, enabling movement, and storing minerals. Bones are made of organic …

Bioactive glasses are able to bond to bone through formation of carbonated hydroxyapatite
in body fluids, and fluoride-releasing bioactive glasses are of interest for both orthopaedic …

More than 200 million people are affected by osteoporosis worldwide, as estimated by 2
million annual hip fractures and other debilitating bone fractures (vertebrae compression …

The objective of the present study was to review recent epidemiological and clinical data on
