Researchers at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have made a great leap toward predicting the risk of hip fracture among people with osteoporosis and evaluating the effectiveness of specific drugs to ...

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

Chevron USA Inc. developed an extended embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) which combines parent-well flow simulation with updated reservoir stress fields to predict growth of child-well fracture ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

Fractures of the clavicle, or collarbone, are common. Unfortunately, current fixation plates that are used to surgically stabilize these fractures are suboptimal, leading to reoperation rates of up to ...

Previous chapters have addressed fracture geometry, physical and geomechanical properties of single fractures, fracture detection, and the interpretation of hydraulic and tracer tests. All of these ...
