TL;DR: A new approach to measurement of underlying bone positions in sheep using the Point Cluster Technique, raw averaging and the Optimal Common Shape Technique (OCST), a new approach presented in this manuscript.

TL;DR: The aim of the study was to quantitatively analyze the histological appearance of vascularization and tissue differentiation with regard to fracture stability during the course of healing.

TL;DR: A clear relationship between the stability of fixation and the mechanical strength of the healing tibia was seen and moderate levels of axial stability were associated with the highest callus strength and stiffness.

TL;DR: Osteoporotic rod-like trabeculae showed decreases in Young's modulus, fracture load, yield strength, ultimate stress, work to failure and bending stiffness, along with significantly increased mean calcium content and calcium width, while non-osteoporosis iliac crests and vertebrae displayed linear dependency on structure parameters, whereas osteoporotics compartments proved to be non-correlated with bone structure.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the effects of hypoxia are crucial for effective bone healing, which may potentially lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
