An anonymous reader writes "If we break a bone it can take weeks or even month to heal depending on the type and severity of the break. In some extreme cases the complexity of the fracture can make it impossible to heal properly. Researchers at the University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center have come up with a new solution for healing broken bones that cuts recovery time to days. It ... - ODOT classifies area bridges fracture-critical
Four bridges in Lucas County and Wood County have been listed as fracture-critical by the Ohio Department of Transportation. - Stopping Bisphosphonates May Reduce Femur Fracture Risk
Stopping bisphosphonates, a class of osteoporosis drugs that builds bone, could reduce risks for femur fracture by half, according to growing research. The rare, but serious, thigh bone fracture, known as atypical femur fracture, has been linked to oral bisphosphonates … Continue reading → - The department gives extra attention to particular bridges that may have a risk of collapse
Northeast Ohio has more than 50 bridges labeled “fracture-critical”—a classification given to bridges supported by a single support beam. If that beam is damaged, the Ohio Department of Transportation says the likelihood that the bridge will collapse is much higher. - Bisphosphonates may minimize risk of atypical femur fracture
There is growing evidence that supports an association between atypical fractures of the femur- a rare break of the thigh bone, typically without trauma - and the use of bisphosphonates, drugs proven to enhance bone density and reduce fracture incidence caused by osteoporosis. - NBA-Gallinari's foot injury a sprain, Nuggets say
