Recent studies have demonstrated that fracture healing normally takes place under hypoxic conditions. The present study evaluated the effect of a state of chronic systemic hypoxia on fracture healing in dogs. A significant delay in fracture healing was demonstrated in the hypoxic animals roentgenographically, histologically, and by strength-testing criteria. A further reduction in the available oxygen supply below that present during normal repair had an adverse effect on fracture healing.

Nonunion is a significant complication in fracture management for surgeons. Salvianolic acid A (SAA), derived from the traditional Chinese plant Salviae miltiorrhizae Bunge (Danshen), exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although studies have demonstrated its ability to promote osteogenic differentiation, the exact mechanism of action remains unclear.

Unlabelled: Wound debridement is commonplace in expediting wound healing in the clinic. Despite this, there are limited resources available for simulation training for practitioners prior to facing real-life patients. Typically, citrus peels or porcine skin are employed in a vain attempt to improve debridement proficiency, yet these fail to provide a realistic experience of the textures and consistencies of wounds.

Bone fractures are a leading cause of morbidity and healthcare expenditure globally. The complex healing process involves inflammation, cartilage formation, mineralization, and bone remodeling. Current treatments like immobilization, surgery, and bone grafting, though effective, pose significant challenges, such as prolonged recovery and high costs.
