Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

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 ...

A glue-gun-like device that can be used to print biodegradable bone grafts directly into fractures could revolutionize orthopedic surgery, offering personalized implants that speed healing and cut ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich say they've developed a novel hydrogel that could be used for bone implants in the future.

Scientists show that neutralizing liver-derived ApoE protein reverses age-related delays in bone fracture healing ...

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The engineers, ...

A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair surgery found that bone marrow oedema on postoperative MRI was associated with persistent wrist ...

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 ...

Francisco Lindor had the stitches removed from his hamate bone surgery this morning, which leaves him potentially days away from resuming baseball activities.

A rotator cuff repair is a procedure in which torn tendons and/or muscles surrounding the shoulder are surgically fixed. Rotator cuff tears can cause pain and weakness. Sometimes these tears can heal ...
