Proximal humerus fractures hit hard—common in elderly falls or young high-speed wrecks, often leaving shoulders stiff and ...

Complex proximal humeral fractures, especially in elderly patients, often require arthroplastic surgical treatment. Traditionally, shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) is the method of choice, resulting in ...

Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

What if the next time you broke a bone, you didn’t need screws, plates, or invasive surgery to heal? Imagine a medical adhesive so powerful it could bond fractured bones in minutes, yet gentle enough ...

Most guns are tools for doing harm, but a team of American and Korean scientists has developed one that does the opposite, helping to patch up bone injuries. It comes a bit short of the Medigun from ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Patients with proximal humerus fractures demonstrated substantially higher mortality rates than their matched control individuals from the general population over a 2-year period, with the highest ...

A new study has found that the bone fracture protection women get from menopausal hormone therapy (MHT, also known as HRT) disappears within a year of stopping treatment. In the new study, published ...
