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

Bone has the amazing capacity to regenerate. After a fracture, bone will heal without scarring in healthy people. In aging individuals, or for people with diseases like diabetes, approximately 10% of ...

UD engineer Michael Hast leads an NIH-funded effort to identify impaired bone healing earlier with MRI-based computer models Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on ...

Over the past decade, 3D printing has gone from being a futuristic idea to a revolutionary tool. In medicine, its ability to produce custom-made, complex structures is changing the way doctors treat ...

While bone injuries such as fractures typically heal on their own, large sections of missing bone (known as "bone deficits") often never grow back. As a result, they typically have to be filled with a ...

A Russian research team has developed biodegradable bone screws that could offer a safer and more body-compatible alternative to the ...

Hannah Dailey, associate professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics at Lehigh University, studies the biomechanics of fracture fixation and bone healing. She received the 2024 Presidential ...

Lindsey Vonn suffered a complex tibia fracture after crashing during the women's downhill final at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

A new grant from the National Institutes of Health is supporting work led by UD mechanical engineer Michael Hast and his graduate students Farzad Abdi and Badhan Saha to improve methods to monitor ...
