Physical Mechanisms to Stimulate Bone Healing
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this seminar will be to review some physical methods of stimulation of bone healing. Most cells in the body experience a range of physical forces, which when isolated individually are capable of modulating cellular activity. Gravitational, acoustic, thermal, shear, compressive/tensile, electrical and hydrostatic forces can all result in a cellular response. We will cover 3 modalities, electrical/magnetic, ultrasound, and shockwaves that create physical forces within the body and have been used for a physical method of stimulating bone healing.

Current trends in the enhancement of fracture healing.
Repair of fractures involves a sequence of dynamic events which ultimately restores the integrity of the bone and its biomechanical properties. In some cases healing is compromised, leading to delayed union or nonunion. It is estimated that 10% of the fractures which occur annually will require further surgical procedures because of impaired healing. The preferred management of nonunion and bon...

Objective: In this study, the bone regeneration ability of polyacrylamide hydrogel and nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds (PAAH/NHA) and stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSCs) in the healing of critical sized bone defects in rabbit radius were assessed. Animals and procedures: 12 New Zealand white male rabbits were divided into 3 groups. The rabbits were anesthetized and 15 mm bone def...
متن کاملNotch Pathway Modulation on Bone Marrow-Derived Vascular Precursor Cells Regulates Their Angiogenic and Wound Healing Potential
Bone marrow (BM) derived vascular precursor cells (BM-PC, endothelial progenitors) are involved in normal and malignant angiogenesis, in ischemia and in wound healing. However, the mechanisms by which BM-PC stimulate the pre-existing endothelial cells at sites of vascular remodelling/recovery, and their contribution towards the formation of new blood vessels are still undisclosed. In the presen...

Extended Abstract 1.Introduction One of the tissues that is affected by physical activity is bone. Bone is one of the tissues that needs to receive mechanical load to have normal function as a key factor in strengthening bone mass (2). Evidence shows that the mechanical load resulting from physical activity activates a set of proteins involved in the process of osteoblast activation and inhib...
متن کاملAcceleration of bone healing by electrical stimulation.
Stimulation of bone and soft tissue healing by means of artificial application of electrical energy is a research frontier offering promise of major progress in orthopedic and rehabilitation treatment . Advances in this field could give the clinician a measure of direct control over the processes of healing. Attempts to stimulate bone healing with electrical energy are based on certain observat...
