[Function of cytokine in union of fracture]
1The Affiliated Orthopedics Hospital of North China Coal Medical University, Tangshan Hebei, 063000, PR China.
Objective:
To introduce the lasted advance of research on cytokine in the process of union-fracture as well as clinical application.
Methods:
The related biomedical research materials at home and broad were consulted and analyzed.
Results:
Cytokines participate in and promote the process of union of fracture.
Conclusion:
Nowadays, there are more detailed study at the level of cells. But the mechanism of interaction between cells has still not completely been known in the process of union-fracture. Therefore, further elucidating function and mechanism, especially interaction between cytokines is what we are going to solve in the future.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
