Determining whether a bone fracture is healed is one of the most important and fundamental
clinical determinations made in orthopaedics. However, there are currently no standardized …

Critical-size bone defects, which require large-volume tissue reconstruction, remain a
clinical challenge. Bone engineering has the potential to provide new treatment concepts …

A fundamental issue in clinical orthopaedics is the determination of when a fracture is
united. However, there are no established “gold standards,” nor standardized methods for …

Fracture healing is normally assessed through an interpretation of radiographs, clinical
evaluation, including pain on weight bearing, and a manual assessment of the mobility of …

Current methods for fracture treatment in osteoporosis are not always sufficient. To develop
new fixation strategies (both mechanical and biological) requires pre‐clinical testing utilizing …

Patients with common hand fractures are likely to present in a wide variety of outpatient
orthopedic practices. Successful rehabilitation of hand fractures addresses the need to (1) …

Background and purpose—Constant fixator stiffness for the duration of healing may not
