Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a well-known disease that impaired bone mechanical properties and increases the risk of fragility fracture. The bone tissue is a viscoelastic material that means the loading rate determines its mechanical properties. This study investigates the impact of T2D on the viscoelastic properties of human bone and its association with microstructure and biochemical properties.
Introduction: Viscoelasticity is an important mechanical property of bone and for this the interaction of individual constituents of bone plays an important role. The viscoelastic nature of bone can be affected by aging and diseases, which can further influence its deformation and damage behavior.
Methods: The present study investigated the effects of T2D on the viscoelastic behavior of trabecular bone. The femoral heads of T2D (n = 26) and non-T2D (n = 40) individuals with hip fragility fractures were collected for this investigation. Following the micro-CT scanning of all bone samples, the stress relaxation and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) tests were performed to quantify the viscoelasticity of bone. Further, a correlation analysis was performed to investigate the effects of alteration in bone microstructural and biochemical parameters on viscoelasticity.
Results: The stress relaxation and frequency sweep responses of T2D and non-T2D trabecular bone specimens were not found significantly different. However, the storage modulus, initial stiffness, and initial stress were found lower in T2D bone. The significant correlation of percentage stress relaxed is obtained between the mineral content (r= - 0.52, p-value = 0.003), organic content (r = 0.40, p-value = 0.02), and mineral-to-matrix ratio (r = - 0.43, p-value = 0.009). Further, storage and loss modulus were correlated with bone volume fraction (BV/TV) for both groups. The stress relaxation and frequency sweep characteristics were not found significantly connected with the other chemical, structural, or clinical parameters.
Conclusion: This study suggests that T2D does not affect the time-dependent response of human femoral trabecular bone. The viscoelastic properties are positively correlated with organic content and negatively correlated with mineral content.

Case Report: Double trabecular metal cup without auxiliary screws for severe acetabular bone defects.

Background: Acetabular reconstruction is often challenging in revision hip arthroplasty, especially in the face of moderate to severe acetabular bone deficiency. In some severe bone defects, double-metal tantalum cups can improve the contact area between bone and implants, increase the surface area for bone ingrowth, and better restore the anatomical position of the acetabulum. Furthermore, with a good press-fit, the auxiliary screw has a minimal effect on acetabular cup stability.

Functional reconstruction of large mandibular defects, especially in young patients, presents a significant clinical challenge. The ideal approach should not only restore skeletal contour but also address nerve deficits and facilitate final occlusal rehabilitation, all while minimizing morbidity. This report describes a comprehensive, multi-staged strategy for such a case.

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone, although benign, demonstrates local aggressiveness, a potential for recurrence, and, in rare instances, malignant transformation. Functional preservation is crucial in cases involving the articular surface, often utilizing the Sandwich Technique. We propose an enhanced reconstruction method using the inner table of the iliac crest in a reverse fashion, offering a more anatomically contoured proximal tibial plateau and reducing donor site morbidity compared to tricortical iliac crest grafting.

Cage subsidence is a common complication following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) that can lead to poor clinical outcomes, including recurrent pain and segmental instability. Conventional TLIF cage designs often fail to distribute stress evenly, increasing the risk of endplate damage and subsequent subsidence. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a modified TLIF cage with upper and lower open windows (lattice structure) in reducing cage subsidence in patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD).
