## Abstract Previous studies showed that growth factors dramatically stimulate healing processes in bone. However, the long‐term effect of locally applied growth factors on fracture healing remains unclear. In considering the safety of using growth factors, it is necessary to elucidate that after i

## Abstract Extracorporeal shock waves (ESW) have recently been used in resolving tendinitis. However, mechanisms by which ESW promote tendon repair is not fully understood. In this study, we reported that an optimal ESW treatment promoted healing of Achilles tendintis by inducing TGF‐β1 and IGF‐I.
## Abstract Growth factors IGF‐I and TGF‐β1 are known to stimulate fracture healing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of locally applied IGF‐I and TGF‐β1 during the early phase of fracture healing (Days 5, 10, and 15 after fracture) on cellular processes like proliferation and
