Conventional orthopedic surgery relies heavily on mechanical tools like saws, chisels, and drills to cut bone. While these ...

ETH researchers have developed a novel hydrogel consisting mainly of water and a polymer network. Using laser light, the researchers can very quickly solidify the hydrogel into a material with ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a ...

Bone tissue engineering and regeneration stands at the forefront of regenerative medicine, offering innovative solutions for skeletal repair and reconstruction. This multidisciplinary field integrates ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

Forget fragile aging; certified experts reveal why high-impact "thuds" and strategic stress are the clinical keys to building unbreakable bones in your 40s and beyond.

An excellent new tool that uses a technology called microindentation can measure the health of bone tissue directly and safely. Bone fractures are the bane of people with unhealthy or fragile bones.

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely ...
