RESEARCHERS from Ulster University are at the forefront of a new project to “revolutionise” the healing of bone fractures.
The UU team has joined universities in the United States on a £1.5 million scheme to develop state-of-the-art implants which will be reabsorbed by the body after a fracture has healed.
The pioneering magnesium-based orthopaedic implants will replace metal pins and rods which have to be surgically removed after they have done their job of helping bones to heal.
