Researchers from Queensland University of Technology learn out how bone cells work and figure out how they can heal them. Scientists are working on a device that will help heal bones in half the time. Being a person who breaks bones quite often (by quite often I mean once or twice a year) the minute I saw this I knew this could help change my life. Last Christmas I broke, fractured, dislocated, and had surgery on my wrist and it took about 8 months to fully recover from this unfortunate snowboard accident. If this device can cut the healing time in half then I can have more time to relax (break more bones). The next step for this bone healing theory is to test it. I will gladly volunteer myself for any test that Dr. Hannay (the person directly involved with this research) has to do.

“In the future we might be able to make a device utilizing these combined stimulants that could be attached to the body and help heal the bone.”
