In this study, a shape-changeable 3D scaffold with photothermal effects was developed to address the clinical challenges of complex bone defects. The multifunctional construct was fabricated via in situ polymerization combined with a gas foaming technique, creating hierarchical porous architectures that mimic the native bone extracellular matrix. By incorporating polydopamine (PDA)-modified amorphous calcium phosphate (CA) into poly(propylene glycol) (PPG)- and poly(ԑ-caprolactone) (PCL)-based polyurethane (PU). The obtained scaffolds achieved osteoinductive potential for bone tissue engineering. The surface PDA modification of CA enabled efficient photothermal shape conversion under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, facilitating non-invasive remote control of localized hyperthermia. The optimized scaffolds exhibited interconnected porosity (approximately 70%) with osteoconductive pore channels (200-500 μm), resulting in good osteoinduction in cell culture, and precise shape-memory recovery at physiological temperatures (~40 °C) under NIR for minimally invasive delivery. The synergistic effect of osteogenesis promotion and photothermal transition demonstrated this programmable scaffold as a promising solution for integrated minimally invasive bone repair and defect reconstruction.

This study aimed to evaluate the near-cortical over-drilling technique on the mechanical behaviour of bone-plate constructs in a rabbit transverse femoral fracture. In vitro biomechanical testing and finite element (FE) models were used for analyses. Rabbits' bones (n = 14) were divided into two groups: G1 - without near-cortical over-drilling, and G2 - with near-cortical over-drilling.

In recent years, the incidence of orthopedic diseases has increased significantly, while traditional treatments often face limitations such as limited efficacy and pronounced side effects. The development of nanomedicine technology provides novel strategies for orthopedic disease treatment. As an emerging two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS) demonstrate remarkable potential in treating orthopedic diseases due to their unique physicochemical properties, superior biocompatibility, and the fact that their degradation product-elemental phosphorus-constitutes an essential component of bone tissue.

Purpose: This systematic review provides a critical evaluation, synthesis of the existing literature on isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.
Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO, the review was conducted in August 2024 across various databases. Eligible in vivo studies were analysed for their assessment of isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.

The development of functional materials for osteoporosis is essential for effective bone remodeling. In this context, the extraction of biocompatible implantable biomaterials from bio-waste emerges as a valuable strategy, addressing both environmental challenges and promoting human health. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the added-value by-product biomaterial (SS-90), extracted from sardine scales (Sardina Pilchardus) and combined with chitosan (SS-90-CH).

Background: Previous research has demonstrated disparities in access to care for patients with facial fractures. This study aimed to assess potential disparities in timing to nasal bone repositioning among hospitalized patients who received treatment.
Methods: Data from the 2017-2022 American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS-TQIP) and the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision codes (ICD-10) were used.
