Mechano-immunomodulation of macrophages influences the regenerative environment of fracture healing through the regulation of angiogenesis and osteogenesis - PubMed Successful completion of the initial inflammatory phase is critical for the establishment of a regenerative environment conducive to long-term fracture healing. Mechanical signals are among the most p...

A team of ISFR members shows that mechanical cues can modulate macrophage activity during fracture healing. Mechano-immunomodulation affects angiogenesis 🩸 and osteogenesis 🦴. Could the immune system be the key to smarter bone repair strategies? Find out more here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40409508/

Injury-associated anemia and iron homeostasis following orthopaedic trauma: a prospective observational study of 844 patients - PubMed Prognostic Level 1.

🦴⚡🚑 Orthopedic trauma patients often battle anemia & low iron. An observational study in 844 ortho trauma patients done by ISFR members finds that it’s very common — and raises the question: could treating anemia boost recovery?🩸🦴

Wrapping up another #FractureFriday with work by Telfer et al. looking at how fracture site motion and mechanotransduction affect healing. Check out their finite element modeling approach to study motion in distal femur fractures. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39506463/

It's #FractureFriday! 🦴🔩 Wondering how much each part pull its weight in a nail-plate construct for distal femur fractures? Lin et al. in @jorthopres.bsky.social find the plate dominates axial stiffness, while the nail adds torsional resistance. #bonehealing

The periosteum, a thin connective tissue covering the surface of bone, is densely populated with nerve fibers. Recent work published in @jorthopres.bsky.social by @svarghese.bsky.social et al. highlights how periosteal injury prolongs pain after bone fracture.
