  2. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    Since bone healing is a natural process that will occur most often, fracture treatment aims to ensure the best possible function of the injured part after healing. Bone fractures typically are treated by restoring the fractured pieces of bone to their natural positions (if necessary), and maintaining those positions while the bone heals.

  3. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Wound healing refers to a living organism's replacement of destroyed or damaged tissue by newly produced tissue. [ 1 ] In undamaged skin, the epidermis (surface, epithelial layer) and dermis (deeper, connective layer) form a protective barrier against the external environment. When the barrier is broken, a regulated sequence of biochemical ...

  4. Osseointegration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osseointegration

    Osseointegration (from Latin osseus " bony " and integrare "to make whole") is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant ("load-bearing" as defined by Albrektsson et al. in 1981). A more recent definition (by Schroeder et al.) defines osseointegration as "functional ...

  5. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    In fracture healing, endochondral osteogenesis is the most commonly occurring process, for example in fractures of long bones treated by plaster of Paris, whereas fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation with metal plates, screws, pins, rods and nails may heal by intramembranous osteogenesis.

  6. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    A surgeon places a bone graft into position during a limb salvage. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly. Some small or acute fractures can be cured without bone grafting, but the risk ...

    Repeated stress, such as weight-bearing exercise or bone healing, results in the bone thickening at the points of maximum stress (Wolff's law). It has been hypothesized that this is a result of bone's piezoelectric properties, which cause bone to generate small electrical potentials under stress. [66]
