For #FractureFriday, check out this paper from Dr. J. Patrick O'Connor's lab: COX-2 in fracture callus chondroclasts is required for hypertrophic chondrocyte MMP-13 expression. Chondroclasts also promote angiogenesis during endochondral ossification. Read here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

t's #FractureFriday!! Check out this study where contrast enhanced ultrasounds can detect microbubble perfusion in acute humeral shaft fractures, supporting its potential for non-invasive perfusion assessment and future ultrasound-triggered local therapy. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41388907/
