Delayed bone healing can be a considerable problem in both children and adults. Up to 10% of fractures fail to heal properly. An advanced understanding of the cellular responses in bone repair and their manipulation could improve the lives of many patients with orthopaedic problems. These studies will advance out knowledge of interventions to promote bone healing which could be translated rapidly into clinical care.

Summary
Osteoporotic fractures are a common and increasing problem as the population ages. They are associated with increased risk of re-fracture and early death yet most patients remain untreated. This proposal will identify which fracture patients are at highest risk of re-fracture and premature death (b) identify whether osteoporosis treatment decreases this risk and (c) increase osteoporosis awareness and treatment uptake by general practitioners with an integrated fracture risk prediction tool.
