Although these treatments can be effective, they often take as long as a year to produce significant improvements in bone density. That delay poses serious risks for older adults who may fall and fracture fragile bones. Dominique Pioletti, head of the Laboratory of Biomechanical Orthopedics at EPFL, noted, \u201cIn the absence of effective preventive measures, around 40% of women over age 50 will suffer at least one major osteoporotic fracture; in men, the percentage is about 20%.\u201d These fractures can be life-threatening, with a 20% mortality rate in the year following hip or femoral neck fractures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-18\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7008136721246327\" data-ad-slot=\"3815049204\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"

Hyaluronic acid creates a soft, water-attracting scaffold that mimics bone\u2019s natural environment, helping cells move in and start regenerating tissue. Hydroxyapatite particles simulate the structural properties of bone and send chemical signals that stimulate bone-building cells. Unlike existing bone cements, which are hard and brittle, this hydrogel is flexible and injectable, allowing it to fill irregular and complex spaces.
