NEWS FROM THE FUTURE – Department of Defense’s Fracture Putty Could Heal Bones in Days

 


 


NEWS FROM THE FUTURE – Department of Defense’s Fracture Putty Could Heal Bones in Days:



Researchers at the University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense are developing a new “fracture putty” with the aim of  significantly shortening the healing time of bone fractures in humans. According to the researchers, complex fractures can often lead to amputations for U.S. service men and women. The lengthy healing time often associated with these injuries can also prove to be a major burden for the patients and providers.


Sugru for bones :)
