Our bones are the building blocks of our bodies, but bones can break and the complex processes of their healing still hold many mysteries. These are being probed not only by physicians, but – surprisingly – by mechanical engineers. A new study used virtual imaging techniques to lead to accurately diagnosing the many cases when healing fractures of bones fail to fuse.
