A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

Mechanical engineers designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The study, which focused on the middle section of ...

A research team from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the University of Hong Kong's LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) has successfully developed a novel elastic calcium phosphate ...

For decades, rotator cuff surgery has been treated as a mechanical problem. A tendon tears. A surgeon brings it back to bone. Anchors and sutures hold it in place. The operation succeeds if the repair ...

A recent review is transforming the landscape of craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration with the introduction of personalized bioceramic grafts. This pioneering research explores the fabrication and ...

Bone defects caused by traumatic injury, tumor resection, and various congenital and pathological bone losses are functionally debilitating and financially burdensome. Although a small-sized defect ...

Due to unconstrained articulation between the sigmoid notch of the radius and the ulnar head, the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is the most responsible for the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine—Tucson found evidence that a drug that improves the ability to walk in people with multiple sclerosis can also make bone fractures heal ...
