Brief description Stress fractures are debilitating injuries. We characterised a model of stress fractures in rat ulnae, learning that they heal by activated remodelling, that key genes are expressed in a temporal pattern, and that part of the fracture remains un-healed, similar to many clinical cases. Now, we will examine cell localisation of important genes necessary for remodelling, and test the efficacy of different growth factors to activate a healing response in the non-healed section of the fracture.
