The treatment for osteomyelitis consists of surgical debridement, filling the dead space, soft tissue coverage, and intravenous administration antimicrobial (AM) agents long periods. Biomaterials local delivery AM agents, while providing controllable antibiotic release rates simultaneously acting as a bone scaffold, may be valuable alternative; thus, avoiding systemic side effects. V-HEPHAPC is heparinized nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)/collagen biocomposite loaded with vancomycin that has been...
The aim of this work was to analyse the behaviour human bone marrow osteoblastic cells cultured on surface routinely used plasma-sprayed titanium implants in presence plasmatic and salivary nicotine levels reported smokers.Human (first subculture) were seeded for 35 days alpha-minimal essential medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum, 50 microg/ml ascorbic acid, 10 mM beta-glycerophosphate nM dexamethasone. Seeded exposed nicotine, 10-1 mg/ml, from 1 35, characterized cell...
Introduction . Intertrochanteric hip fractures occur in the proximal femur. They are very common elderly and responsible for high rates of morbidity mortality. The authors hypothesized that adding an autologous bone marrow stem cells concentrate (ABMC) to a hydroxyapatite scaffold placing it fracture site would improve outcome after surgical fixation intertrochanteric fractures. Material Methods 30 patients were randomly selected divided into 2 groups 15 patients, receive either enriched...
Synthetic bone grafts provide an alternative to autografts and allografts. Bonelike is a patented synthetic graft that mimics the mineral composition of bone. The aim present work was assess biological behavior in humans, before using material orthopedic applications regeneration, for example, opening wedge high tibial osteotomies medial knee osteoarthritis. granules were implanted cortical 11 patients undergoing osteotomies, new formation, osteoconductive properties, resorption...
This paper reports the ability of Bonelike® to regenerate bone defected areas when implanted in tibia 3 patients (average age 59 years) during a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) treat medial compartment osteoarthritis knee. is synthetic graft designed mimic inorganic composition using patent process that consists liquid sintering hydroxyapatite presence CaO-P2O5 based glass. The preliminary clinical evaluation performed showed an intimate contact between new formed and was established (67±10 %),...
Coracoid transfer procedures are known to be successful when it comes prevention of recurrence. However, all them invariably associated with high complication rates, especially limited range motion.Arthroscopic technique was found have an overall lower rate complications compared the open procedures.Despite being scarce, CHSJ data roughly overlap literature.Different surgical been described for treatment recurrent anterior dislocation shoulder. Despite documented success procedures, some...
The mechanism most correlated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears is the simultaneous valgus and external rotation of knee. This study investigated if ACL reconstruction a hamstring tendon autograft predisposes to “knee-in & toe-out” compared patellar healthy individuals during drop vertical jump. A three-dimensional markerless motion capture was used conduct case control study, collecting data from 11 participants 14 who underwent reconstruction, 8 6 autograft, while performing...
This study evaluates the ability of a Glass Reinforced Hydroxyapatite Composite (GRHC), in new microporous pellet formulation with autologous bone marrow concentrate (BMC), to enhance regeneration and formation. Ninety non-critical sized defects were created femurs nine Merino breed sheep randomly left unfilled (group A), filled GRHC pellets alone B) or combined BMC C). The sacrificed at 3 weeks (three sheep), 6 sheep) 12 histological analysis (Light Microscopy-LM), scanning electron...
Although they are considered benign lesions, simple bone cysts may lead to chronic pain and even pathologic fractures.16Kaelin AJ MacEwen GD Unicameral cysts.

To evaluate the influence of lateral posterior tibial slope (LPTS) and meniscal bone angle (MBA) on primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear risk in an adult population through LPTS-MBA ratio.A retrospective case-control study was performed with patients from a tertiary hospital who underwent ACL surgery had preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These subjects were matched by age sex 1:1 ratio to MRI without tear. LPTS MBA measured scan. Quantitative data are presented median ±...
