Introduction Adequate migration and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells is essential for regeneration large bone defects. To achieve this, modern graft materials are becoming increasingly important. Among them, electrospun nanofiber scaffolds a promising approach, because their high physical porosity potential to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM). Materials Methods The objective present study was examine impact PLLA on formation in vivo, using critical size rat calvarial defect...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact sex on knee function, activity and quality life following meniscus surgery using data from German Arthroscopy Registry. Methods This is a retrospective cohort with collected between 2017 2022. Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), namely Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ Scale), Marx Activity Rating (MARS), were preoperatively at 6, 12 24 months postoperatively. Data...
BACKGROUND: Smoking is a risk factor in the process of bone healing after lumbar spondylodesis, often associated with complications that occur intraoperatively or during follow-up periods. OBJECTIVE: To assess if smokers yield worse results concernin
Background: Recurrent instability following primary arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder is a common complication. Young, athletic patients are at greatest risk recurring instability. To date, literature contains insufficient description regarding whether return to sports possible after revision Bankart repair. Hypothesis: Patients presenting with recurrent should expect limitations in terms their ability partake sporting activities surgery. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence,...
The aim of the study was to evaluate mid-term clinical results and survivorship a rotating-hinge knee prosthesis (LINK ® Endo-Model) in difficult primary complex revision situations.Results after implantation were compared with those procedures.Forty-nine prostheses 45 patients reviewed clinically during follow up.Twenty-one these implanted 28 situations.Outcome evaluated using commonly used scores (Knee Society, UCLA Activity, Lequesne) visual analog scale mean up 56±37 months for 49...
The complex field of femoral defects in revision hip arthroplasty displays a lack standardized, intuitive pre- and intraoperative assessment. To address this issue, the defect classification (FDC) is introduced to offer reliable, reproducible an system with clear therapeutic guideline.The FDC based on integrity main segments which determine function structural support. It focuses neck, metaphysis consisting greater lesser trochanter, diaphysis. four categories location while subcategories a,...
The reconstruction of large bone defects after injury or tumor resection often requires the use substitution. Artificial scaffolds based on synthetic biomaterials can overcome disadvantages autologous grafts, like limited availability and donor side morbidity. Among them, nanofibers offer great advantages. They mimic extracellular matrix, be used as a carrier for growth factors allow differentiation human mesenchymal stem cells. Differentiation is triggered by series signaling processes,...
BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) syndrome can cause various symptoms and may also be one reason for persistent low back pain, especially in patients with prior spinal fusions. If conservative treatments fail to improve symptoms, arthrodesis surgery
BACKGROUND: When deciding upon the best treatment strategy in revision arthroplasty, it is absolutely crucial to use possible preoperative detection whether a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) present or not. New molecular markers inve
