Healing the Bone

Healing of the bone is different with the other part of the body. Fracture healing is actually a bone regeneration with no scar tissues, where as in wound healing, injured tissue is replaced by  connective tissue which became a scar, Traditionally fracture healing is divided in to 4 stages: 1) Stage of inflammation; 2) Stage of soft callus; 3) Stage of hard callus and 4) Stage of remodeling. In...

Postoperative Aspirin Use is Associated with Delayed Progression of Radiographic Healing in Tibial Fractures Treated with Internal Fixation

3 Department of Otolaryngology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA The clinical role of prostaglandins in fracture healing has yet to be fully elucidated. Data from animal models have shown that some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) inhibit fracture healing. However, a clear clinical association between prostaglandin inhibition and delayed fracture healing has not been ...

A comparison of the effects of ibuprofen and rofecoxib on rabbit fibula osteotomy healing

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Previous studies have indicated that NSAID therapy, and in particular NSAIDs that specifically target the inflammatory cyclooxygenase (COX-2), impair bone healing. We compared the effects of ibuprofen and rofecoxib on ...

Potential Role of Local Estrogen in Enhancement of Fracture Healing: Preclinical Study in Rabbits

      Background: Effects of estrogen on bone metabolism and its protective role on prevention of osteoporosis are well   documented. However, the efficacy of estrogen treatment on bone healing is not well investigated. The drug can be delivered both systemically or locally to the bone with differences in concentrations and side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lo...

Systemic Inhibition of Canonical Notch Signaling Results in Sustained Callus Inflammation and Alters Multiple Phases of Fracture Healing

The Notch signaling pathway is an important regulator of embryological bone development, and many aspects of development are recapitulated during bone repair. We have previously reported that Notch signaling components are upregulated during bone fracture healing. However, the significance of the Notch pathway in bone regeneration has not been described. Therefore, the objective of this study w...

Influence of antiTNF-alpha antibody treatment on fracture healing under chronic inflammation

BACKGROUND The overexpression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α leads to systemic as well as local loss of bone and cartilage and is also an important regulator during fracture healing. In this study, we investigate how TNF-α inhibition using a targeted monoclonal antibody affects fracture healing in a TNF-α driven animal model of human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and elucidate the question whethe...
