Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect Naturagen® 4 Joint product, containing type 1, 2, and 3 collagen, on pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) evaluate its effects quality life physical functioning.

Introduction Implants used in orthopedic surgery can be colonized by bacteria that form biofilm layers complicating treatment. We aimed to determine titanium implants' antibacterial and biofilm-degrading properties when coated with sodium borate (NaB) calcium (CaB) minerals. Methods analyzed twenty-four different implants. Three implants were not coated, three only a carrier polymer (alginate), eighteen either CaB or NaB at concentrations. The incubated Staphylococcus aureus, then the...

Background and Objectives: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common with a high incidence among people physical activity levels. Therefore, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the most surgical procedures performed in sports medicine. This study aims to compare pre- 6-month post-operative isokinetic knee strengths healthy (HK) knees patients who underwent semitendinous/gracilis (ST/G) ACLR. Materials Methods: A retrospective cohort 21 recreational athletes ST/G ACLR by same...

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), called as bone cement, has been used in implant surgery, initially dental practices, then arthroplasty surgery for decades. Bone cement is a highly preferred chemical the field of orthopedics due to its bone-like hardness and mechanical strength. Meanwhile, antibiotic-loaded cements are joints similar surgeries generally risk infection. In this study, we aimed demonstrate effects borate mineral loading into on enhancing antibacterial resistivity cell...

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using the complete tibial tunnel technique and adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation is known to leave a "dead space" that holds loop device in tunnel. The consequence of dead space its effect on graft healing are still uncertain.To investigate morphological changes their healing, identify factors affecting bone after ACLR with quadrupled semitendinosus tendon autograft adjustable fixation.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Included were 48...
