Joint tissues are exquisitely sensitive to their mechanical environment, and mechanical
loading may be the most important external factor regulating the development and long‐term …

Chirality is absolutely central in chemistry and biology. The recent findings of chiral self-
assembling peptides' remarkable chemical complementarity and structural compatibility …

Electrical stimulation (ES) has been shown to induce and enhance bone regeneration. By
combining this treatment with tissue-engineering approaches (which rely on biomaterial …

Low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a developing technology, which has been
proven to improve fracture healing process with minimal thermal effects. This noninvasive …

Objective To determine the efficacy of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) for healing of
fracture or osteotomy. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Medline …

Complex ankle arthrodesis is defined as an ankle fusion that is at high risk of delayed and
nonunion secondary to patient comorbidities and/or local ankle/hindfoot factors. Risk factors …

Stem cell transplantation, especially treatment with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
(BMSCs), has been considered a promising therapy for the locomotor and neurological …

Between 5 and 10% of fractures are complicated by delayed healing. 1 Common causes
include inadequate fixation of the fracture, distraction of fracture fragments by fixation …

Purpose Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used successfully to accelerate
healing of fresh fractures and non-unions. It also improved callus maturation with distraction …

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasonography (LIPUS) is a form of mechanical
stimulation that is delivered via a special device to the fracture site for the acceleration of …
