Traditionally, children break their bones fall from the trees, but a scientist says, holding the offices referred to a specific type of childhood fractures.
The green fracture occurs when the cutting length of bone, and not merely a right angle.
Dr. Roland Ennos, think of the University of Manchester, the similarities between the crystals in the small bones and the new wood cells, this could be explained.
His research is in the journal Proceedings B.
The way for the development of bone structure in children and young adults are not yet fully understood by scientists.
However, ‘Green fractures known more commonly during puberty, when bones are growing rapidly.
Dr Ennos suggests that small wood cells, bones, crystals deposited in the rapidly growing young bones are arranged along the road before rebuilding, so that the crystals pointing in different directions.
Setting the following line and could not break in this direction, and growth of wood bats, he said.
The Bones remodeled to stop cracks developing countries – to dissolve the crystals in these parts and repair. Bones of children have not had time to do that. He said specialists are able to orthopedics, might consider the idea.
Professor Jonathan Tobias, a researcher at the bone health of children at Bristol University, said the comment was an interesting idea, though unlikely, that the immediate impact on clinical practice.
People are in the relationship between bone structure and strength for some time, and looked at from a different direction.
Certainly we know there is a problem between the growing bone in puberty and this type of fracture.
