Manipulating fibrin structure of hematomas enhances large bone defects healing

(2016) Manipulating fibrin structure of hematomas enhances large bone defects healing. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Hematomas (blood clots) are known important factors in early stages of fracture repair. This project characterized the differences in hematomas between normal healing and delayed healing in bone defects. It was found that manipulation of the hematoma structure can significantly improve bone healing and result in significantly increased bone formation. This project will lead to the development of innovative treatment of large bone defects, fractures, and bone non-union.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
