Article Abstract
Case: An 18-year-old woman with osteosarcoma of the left distal femur underwent resection and limb-salvage surgery with compressive osseointegration endoprosthetic reconstruction and experienced tumor recurrence 1 year after index surgery. A transfemoral amputation was performed preserving the existing compressive osseointegration device, and limb lengthening was achieved using intercalary and distal femoral segments. 3.5 years after amputation and lengthening, the implant remains well integrated and the patient is ambulatory.
Conclusion: Compressive osseointegration with distal femoral endoprosthesis is a viable option for adding length and lever arm mechanics in patients with short stump above knee amputations.

Background: Implant placement is a critical step for achieving primary stability. During this process, a compressive force, referred to as an "insertion load," is applied through a handpiece or manual driver. However, the influence of the insertion load has not been quantitatively investigated.

Background: Implant stability plays a key role in establishing implant osseointegration and is a crucial factor in determining the appropriate timing for functional loading with a fixed prosthesis. This study aims to investigate the primary and secondary stability of a one-piece compressive conometric implant system in the posterior upper and lower jaws.
Materials And Methods: A total of 46 compressive one-piece dental implants (DIs) from ROOTT Trade Company were placed in the upper and lower jaws.

Bone defects from trauma, infection, and tumour resection are a growing clinical challenge due to global population aging. Current treatments like autologous and allogeneic bone grafting have limitations. This study focused on optimizing ion-doped α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) preparation and developing calcium phosphate cement (CPC) with superior physicochemical and biological properties.

Implant primary stability is a prerequisite for obtaining osseointegration and clinical success. Insertion torque (IT) is measured during implant placement and is expressed in Ncm. It represents the quantification of the frictional force experienced by the implant as it progresses apically through a rotational motion along its axis.

Metallic bone screws are clinically used to fix the fractured bone fragments in bone defect treatment; yet they present compromised therapeutic efficacy due to poor osseointegration and tissue support. Here, we develop a novel thermoresponsive shape memory (SMP) bone screw with osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling for enhanced bone regeneration. The SMP bone screws are prepared by die casting of shape memory polyurethane/hydroxyapatite (PU/HA) composite, coated with L-arginine (Arg) and calcium ions (Ca).
