Parathyroid hormone is a well-known regulator of calcium metabolism in the body. It binds to osteoblasts and assists in the regulation of bone turnover. Changes in parathyroid hormone levels have been documented in pathologic states such as osteoporosis, and fluxes are also noted during healing of fractures. Because fracture ...

To determine the effect of capacitively coupled electric field stimulation on tibial stress fracture healing in men and women. Methods: A convenience sample of 20 men and 24 women with posteromedial tibial stress fractures was recruited. Subjects were ran...
Fracture healing involves a complex interplay of cellular processes, culminating in bridging of a fracture gap with bone. Fracture healing can be compromised by numerous exogenous and endogenous patient factors, and intense research is currently going on to identify modalities that can increase ...

Pharmacologic agents that modulate bone formation and bone remodelling are in broad use and development for the treatment of osteoporosis and other disorders of bone fragility. There is significant interest into the effect these agents may have on bone repair and fracture healing and whether these agents may be beneficial or detrimental to bone repair. ...
Sports-related injuries such as impact and stress fractures often require a rehabilitation programme to stimulate bone formation and accelerate fracture healing. This review introduces a recently developed joint loading modality and evaluates its potential applications to bone formation and ...

The therapeutic effect or coamide (a complex compound of cobalt with nicotinic acid amide) on the healing of closed fractures in tubular bones of rabbits, irradiated with a dose of 800 r, was studied. Sublect to experimentation were 50 rabbits. The healing of the bones was studied both clinically and roentgenologically. ...

An average of three months rest is generally recommended for resolution of tibial stress fractures. Such an extended absence from athletic or military training reduces the ability to perform optimally and the likelihood of successful return to activity up...
PTH 1-34, an active form of parathyroid hormone, has been shown to enhance osteoblastic bone formation when administered as a daily subcutaneous injection. The effect of the intermittent administration of PTH (1-34) is an uncoupling of bone turnover with an increase in bone mass and density and decrease in risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. While PTH (1-34) has been ...
Not all fractures heal well. One method that has been used to improve fracture healing is low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). LIPUS has been US Food and Drug Administration approved for several years, and some preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that fracture ...

TP508 is a synthetic 23-amino acid peptide representing a receptor-binding domain of human thrombin. We have previously shown that a single injection of TP508 accelerates fracture healing in a rat femoral fracture model. To understand how TP508 acts at the protein level during fracture ...

Annually, millions of people across the world are inflicted with bone fracture injuries. Untimely healing is a significant burden in terms of socioeconomic costs, personal costs, and patients' quality of life. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has gained much attention as a potential adjunctive therapy for accelerating fresh ...
