Most people still only address their bone health after a fragility fracture—broken bones in situations a healthy skeleton would withstand.

A combination of X-ray from NASA's Chandra observatory and radio data indicates that a galactic "fracture" was likely caused by a special neutron star called a pulsar.

In one-third of unstable proximal or distal femoral shaft fractures, traditional dynamization of removed screws provides the required compression effect but may also lead to further sliding, rotation ...

Without CD47, bone healing was significantly delayed, with reduced callus formation and diminished bone volume in both normal and ischemic fracture models.

AMERICAN orthopedic surgeons have been skeptical about the use of medullary nailing of long-bone fractures. This, I think, is fortunate, as the slow acceptance of this technic has allowed us to avo ...

At 7 and 10 months post-op no signs of union was noted at the fracture site but the callus formation along the mechanical axis gradually matured and appeared as a new femoral shaft. Conclusion: ...

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and strength, leading to fragile, brittle bones that increase the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hips and wrists.

COMPARISON BETWEEN FLEXIBLE NAILING AND EXTERNAL FIXATION, METHODS TO STABILIZE FEMORAL SHAFT FRACTURES IN THE IMMATURE SKELETON: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE OS MÉTODOS DE ...

There is a link between PTSD and fractures. Scientists believe this could be due to the effects of stress hormones on bone density.
