DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2020.06.009
Abstract: Introduction The most feared and challenging complication in treating patients with musculoskeletal trauma is infection after fracture fixation, which can delay healing and, in turn, result in permanent functional loss of limbs or even amputation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2019.10.009
Abstract: Introduction Fracture nonunion remains a great challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Approximately 5-10% of bone fractures do not heal promptly, and require another surgical procedure. Previously, several small studies have found that teriparatide, a parathyroid hormone… read more here.
