and the link between angiogenesis -blood vessel formation- and bone healing has long been discussed by the scientific community, with several studies describing the impairment of bone healing ...

Tiny implantable sensors are helping to heal broken bones quicker. The devices allow data-enabled resistance training to speed up the natural healing process in lab rats, say American scientists.

Broken bones normally mend spontaneously if they are set firmly. A finger fracture typically requires three weeks for healing, while one can recover from broken legs in six to eight weeks.

Tiny implantable sensors are revolutionising the way broken bones heal, with devices enabling data-driven resistance training to accelerate the natural recovery process, according to US scientists.
