Abstract Compared to the currently clinically available bone grafting materials for alveolar ridge augmentation, there is a great demand bioactive substitutes with higher resorbability, which enhance osteogenesis at same time. This has prompted development of silicon‐doped rapidly resorbable calcium alkali orthophosphate (Si‐CAOP) and β‐tricalcium phosphate (Si‐TCP). study evaluated effect these two particulate graft as compared used β‐TCP on formation osteogenic marker expression after 2...
(1) Background: The desire to avoid autograft harvesting in implant dentistry has prompted an ever-increasing quest for bioceramic bone substitutes, which stimulate osteogenesis while resorbing a timely fashion. Consequently, highly bioactive silicon containing calcium alkali orthophosphate (Si-CAP) material was created, previously shown induce greater cell maturation and neo-formation than β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) vivo as well vitro. Our study tested the hypothesis that enhanced...
Background and Objectives: Fractures of the proximal femur are a life-changing life-threatening event for older people. Concomitant malnutrition has been described as an independent risk factor complications mortality. Therefore, we examined influence albumin body mass index (BMI) parameters nutritional state on outcome after geriatric hip fracture surgery. Materials Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from hospital information systems, all other obtained patient charts. We included...
Patients suffering from complications during inpatient treatment after hip fracture surgery are associated with a worse mid-term outcome. While surgically treatable only delay the healing process, internal seem to worsen outcome in long run. All come significant increased costs hospital stay.Due demographic changes, importance of fractures is still increasing nowadays. Not surgical but also medical represent major challenge those patients. Nevertheless, few known about functional, medical,...
Standard balloon kyphoplasty represents a well-established treatment option for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Aim of the present study was to evaluate two different methods percutaneous augmentation (standard (BKP) versus Tektona® (TEK)) with respect height restoration. Four-teen bodies female cadavers were examined. Fractures created using standardized protocol. CT-scans taken before and after fracture, as well treatment. Afterwards groups randomly assigned in matched pair...
The German Society for Geriatrics recommends the "ISAR" questionnaire as a screening tool patients ≥70 geriatric in emergency rooms. Although ISAR-score is collected routinely "AltersTraumaRegister DGU®" (ATR-DGU), to date less known about predictive value of "ISAR"-score trauma patients.Currently, 84 clinics participate ATR-DGU. This evaluation limited subgroup proximal femur fractures from 2016-2018. Patients years, who underwent surgery hip fracture are included In this evaluation,...
While several studies report on accuracy rates of pedicle screws, risk factors associated with inaccurate screw positioning in patients thoracolumbar fractures are reported rarely. CT scan as a routine postoperative control is advocated by various authors, however its necessity remains unclear.Two hundred forty-five were included this retrospective study. Percutaneous dorsal instrumentation was most commonly performed (n = 201). Classification Zdichavsky et al. and Rao used to classify...
Background and Objectives: Appropriate timing of surgery for periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in geriatric patients remains unclear. Data from a large international trauma register were analyzed to examine the outcome with PFF respect surgical stabilization. Materials Methods: The Registry Geriatric Trauma German Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie (DGU)) (ATR-DGU) was analyzed. Patients treated surgically included this analysis. As parameters, in-house mortality rate...
Abstract Introduction Surgical treatment of supracondylar femoral fractures can be challenging. An additional wire cerclage is a suggested way to facilitate fracture reduction prior plate osteosynthesis. Denudation the periosteum remains problematic disadvantage this procedure. This study analyzed effect an on load failure in osteosynthesis oblique shaft fractures. Materials and methods On eight pairs non-osteoporotic human femora (mean age 74 years; range 57–95 years), unstable AO/OTA...
The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in activities daily living and self-reported health status the first year after fragility fractures pelvis. We found out that these lead a significant, long-lasting deterioration both parameters, comparable with hip fractures. prospective development identify influencing factors (ADL) (HS) pelvis (FFP). A total 134 patients FFP ≥ 60 years were included. ADL measured using Barthel index (BI) IADL scale pre-fracture, at 6 weeks, months, 12 months....
Background and Objectives: Patients with occult hip fractures are a difficult subgroup to treat. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing proximal femur but costly may not be readily available in an emergency setting. The purpose of this study was determine whether changes geometry can predict likelihood fracture patients presenting pain following ground-level fall. Material Methods: admitted hospital clinical suspicion initial negative radiographs over seven-year period were included. All...

Sinus floor augmentation (SFA) has become a well-established pre-implantology procedure for alveolar ridge of the posterior maxilla. Using bioceramic bone substitutes avoids second-site surgery autograft harvesting. Compared to which are currently clinically available, there is significant need degrade more rapidly, but still stimulate osteogenesis at same time. This led development bioactive, rapidly resorbable calcium alkali orthophosphate (CAOP) materials, have greater solubility than...
