Recent advancements in materials synthesis and processing technology, coupled with a deeper understanding of bone nanoscale structure and biology, have provided new avenues for designing bioactive materials in bone tissue regenerative medicine. This Review focuses on the design and application of polydopamine-modified polycaprolactone scaffolds loading metal nanoparticles for bone tissue engineering. We explore their antibacterial properties and their ability to guide cell behavior. Specifically, we discuss the synthesis techniques, protein deposition, morphology variations, and interactions with the extracellular matrix of these scaffolds and biocompatibility and efficacy in promoting bone tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo. Challenges and unmet needs are reviewed in the development of polymer- and metal-based materials for bone tissue engineering.

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.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major global health challenge with no ideal treatment options available. Early-stage treatment typically focuses on symptomatic relief of pain and stiffness; while late-stage patients can only opt for surgical interventions such as joint replacement to improve quality of life. Cell-free therapy based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has offered a novel therapeutic approach for regulating bone metabolism and repairing cartilage, demonstrating emerging potential.

Background: Bone marrow (BM) lesion differentiation remains challenging, and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may enhance accuracy over conventional methods. We evaluated the diagnostic value and inter-reader reliability of Dixon-based signal drop (%drop) and fat fraction percentage (%fat) as adjuncts to existing protocols.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective two-center study, 172 patients with BM signal abnormalities underwent standardized 1.

Background: Pelvic and acetabular fractures, often resulting from high-impact trauma, pose significant challenges due to extensive blood loss and complex surgical procedures. Tranexamic acid (TXA), widely used in elective orthopedic surgeries, offers a potential strategy for managing blood loss. However, its efficacy and safety in pelvic-acetabular trauma surgeries have shown inconsistent results in prior studies.

Background: Distal triceps tendon rupture is related to high complication rates with up to 25% failures. Elbow stiffness is another severe complication, as the traditional approach considers prolonged immobilization to ensure tendon healing. Recently, a dynamic tape was designed, implementing a silicone-infused core for braid shortening and preventing repair elongation during mobilization, thus maintaining constant tissue approximation.
