Article Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the osteoinductivity of the combination of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) and the effects of implants coated with nHAp/BMP-2.
Materials And Methods: To evaluate the efficacy of nHAp/BMP-2 on bone formation, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were seeded onto titanium disks coated with collagen (Col), Col/nHAp, or Col/nHAp/BMP-2. Protein levels were determined by a biochemical assay and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Stem cell differentiation was analyzed by flow cytometry. For studies with mice, Col, Col/nHAp, and Col/nHAp/BMP-2 were injected in subcutaneous pockets. Titanium implants or implants coated with Col/nHAp/BMP-2 were placed bilaterally on rabbit tibias and evaluated for 4 weeks.
Results: In the study, BM-MSCs on Col/nHAp/BMP-2 showed reduced levels of CD73, CD90, and CD105 and increased levels of glycosaminoglycan, osteopontin, and alkaline phosphatase activity. After 4 weeks, the Col/nHAp/BMP-2 implant showed greater bone formation than the control (=0.07), while no differences were observed in bone implant contact and removal torque.
Conclusion: These results suggest that a combination of BMP-2 and an nHAp carrier would activate osseointegration on dental implant surfaces.

Should We Always Use a Metaphyseal Cone in Conjunction With Tibial Augments for Uncontained Defects? A Finite-element Biomechanical Analysis.

Background: Choosing the appropriate implants for reconstruction in revision TKA is essential for long-term fixation. While cones and augments are routinely utilized to address tibial defects, the effect of augment location and size on the biomechanical stability of revision TKA constructs and the indications for the use of metaphyseal cones are not known.
Questions/purposes: Is the risk of cement-implant debonding of revision TKA constructs impacted by the thickness and location (medial versus bicompartmental) of tibial augments and the presence of metaphyseal cones during (1) a demanding daily activity like stair ascent and (2) torsional loads?
Methods: Under institutional review board approval, we developed patient-specific finite-element models of revision TKA from four patients (three males and one female, ages 50 to 80 years, BMI 27 to 37 kg/m2) who underwent two-stage revision and had a CT scan with no metal artifact after first-stage implant removal.
Photodynamic inactivation of bacterial biofilms on absorbable collagen membranes using indocyanine green in aqueous and hydrogen peroxide solutions.

Microbial contamination of absorbable collagen membranes used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) may compromise healing outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hydrogen peroxide (HO) can improve the antibacterial effect of indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) on absorbable collagen membranes while reducing the need for high HO concentrations. A laboratory-based model was developed using Streptococcus sanguinis and Staphylococcus aureus.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a well-established near-infrared dye which has been used clinically for several decades. Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera.

Atypical proximal tibial fractures in adolescents are rare, particularly when linked to hormonal therapy for short stature. This case series reports the clinical and imaging features of atypical proximal tibial and distal femoral physeal fractures in male adolescents undergoing combined growth hormone (GH) and aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy for idiopathic short stature. We report three cases of skeletally immature male adolescents (ages 12-16) treated with GH and anastrozole who presented with acute leg pain following low-energy trauma during soccer.

Posterior ankle impingement (PAI) is the result of bony or soft tissue abnormalities in the posterior region of the ankle directly behind the talus. Os trigonum, an accessory bone resulting from failure of complete mineralization, and the Stieda process, an elongated process of the posterolateral talus, are the most common bony abnormalities. The flexor hallucis longus tendon travels between the posterolateral and posteromedial tubercles of the talus in a fibro-osseous sheath.
