Effective detection of delayed union and non-union related to bone fracture healing can
reduce the individual and social burdens associated with fracture management. Despite …

After trauma, fractured bone starts healing directly through bone union or indirectly through
callus formation process. Intramembranous and endochondral ossification are two …

Purpose Interfragmentary strain influences whether a fracture will undergo direct and
indirect fracture healing. Orthopedic trauma surgeons modulate strain and create optimal …

The relationship between modern clinical diagnostic data, such as from radiographs or
computed tomography, and the temporal biomechanical integrity of bone fracture healing …

Dynamization, increasing the interfragmentary movement (IFM) by reducing the fixation
stiffness from a rigid to a more flexible condition, is widely used clinically to promote fracture …

The stiffness of fracture fixation devices together with musculoskeletal loading defines the
mechanical environment within a long bone fracture, and can be quantified by the …

BACKGROUND: 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds have gained popularity due to their
controlled microarchitecture and their proven biocompatibility. However, their high …

Current diagnostic modalities, such as radiographs or computed tomography, exhibit limited
ability to predict the outcome of bone fracture healing. Failed fracture healing after …

Current fracture fixation follow-up is based on subjective radiological and clinical
examination. Efforts to objectify the procedure have been undertaken since decades …

Current orthopaedic clinical methods do not provide an objective measure of fracture
healing or weight bearing for lower extremity fractures. The following report describes a …
