Immersion in Raloxifene does not significantly improve bone toughness or screw pull-out strength in multiple in vitro models

Abstract Background Failure of surgical fixation in orthopaedic fractures occurs at a significantly higher rate in osteoporotic patients due to weakened osteoporotic bone. A therapy to acutely improve the mechanical properties of bone during fracture repair would have profound clinical impact. A pre...
