Inhibition of fracture healing.

چکیده
This paper reviews the current literature concerning the main clinical factors which can impair the healing of fractures and makes recommendations on avoiding or minimising these in order to optimise the outcome for patients. The clinical implications are described.

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...
متن کاملPostoperative 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 ...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملPotential 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...
متن کاملSystemic 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...
متن کاملInfluence 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...
