Funded Activity Summary

Inter-fragmentary movement in callus formation in the early phase of fracture healing. Computational models of the early phase of bone fracture healing can provide the means to characterise the biochemical factors that control this process, and subsequently influence successful healing outcomes, with or without surgical intervention. This unique approach, incorporating soft tissue and fixation device contributions to fracture healing, will ultimately provide a sound basis for clinical decision-making, implant design and future experimental studies. Facilitating treatment optimisation, the outcomes of this project will create opportunities to reduce healthcare costs, physical impairment, and productivity losses for the 150,000 Australian patients hospitalised annually with fractures.
