Abstract

The use of a low dose intermittent hypoxia is a potential strategy for the implementation of the nonpharmacological method to cure the bone disease. However, nowadays there havent reached a strong scientific consensus on the bone metabolism process against the hypoxia. Though, there are roles of HIF-1α, VEGF and mRNA which can accelerate the bone healing. This research aims to analyze the IH’s potential therapeutic of the healing process against the bone fracture.PubMed, Google Scholar, Dentistry and Oral Sciences, CINAHL are online databases to search the experimental study data in English which inquiry on the intermittent hypoxia effectiveness in the bone fracture healing. Two studies on male animals with bone injury using continuous therapy method of IH. The increase of HIF-1α, VEGF, and mRNA expressions is inversely proportional to the bone fracture healing. Based on this systemic review, intermittent hypoxia may promote bone healing. Evidenced by increased bone formation, bone mass, and bone strength. However, the additional research is still needed for the optimal duration for bone regeneration and maintance of anatomically shaped bone grafts in the bone regeneration process.
