In this study, we aimed to investigate tibiofemoral and
Screw fixation is an established method for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, although with a high rate of implant-related complications. An
Many factors have been reported to affect the functional survival of OCA transplants, including chondrocyte viability at time of transplantation, rate and extent of
The purpose of this study is to enhance massive bone
Bone infections due to fractures or implants are a big medical problem. In experimental medicine, many experimental models have been created on different animal species to simulate the disease condition and to do experience treatments. The aim of this paper was to present an antibacterial efficacy of using a bone
Introduction. Cancellous and cortical bone used as a delivery vehicle for antibiotics. Recent studies with cancellous bone as an antibiotic carrier in vitro and in vivo showed high initial peak concentrations of antibiotics in the surrounding medium. However, high concentrations of antibiotics can substantially reduce osteoblast replication and even cause cell death. Objectives. To determine whether impregnation with gentamycine impair the incorporation of bone
Introduction and Objective. In recent years, along with the extending longevity of patients and the increase in their functional demands, the number of annually performed RSA and the incidence of complications are also increasing. When a complication occurs, the patient often needs multiple surgeries to restore the function of the upper limb. Revision implants are directly responsible for the critical reduction of the bone stock, especially in the shoulder. The purpose of this paper is to report the use of

Abstract. Introduction. Bone grafts are utilised in a range of surgical procedures, from joint replacements to treatment of bone loss resulting from cancer. Decellularised
We used a canine intercalary bone defect model to determine the effects of recombinant human osteogenic protein 1 (rhOP-1) on
This study investigates the use of porous biphasic ceramics as graft extenders in impaction grafting of the femur during revision hip surgery. Impaction grafting of the femur was performed in four groups of sheep. Group one received pure
From November 1994 to March 1997, we harvested 137 grafts of the femoral head from 125 patients for donation during total hip arthroplasty according to the guidelines of the American Associations of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the European Association of Musculo-Skeletal transplantation (EAMST). In addition to the standards recommended by these authorities, we performed histopathological examination of a core biopsy of the retrieved bone
Summary Statement. Supercritical fluid (SCF) sterilization produces clean and osteoconductive
This study explored the relationship between the initial stability of the femoral component and penetration of cement into the graft bed following impaction
Soaking bone grafts in a bisphosphonate solution before implantation can prevent their resorption and increase the local bone density in rats and humans. However, recent studies suggest that pre-treatment of

Dura mater is a thick membrane that is the outermost of the three layers of the meninges that surround the brain and spinal cord. Appropriate dural healing is crucial to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leaks but the entire process has been barely understood so far. Understanding of dural healing and tissue neoformation over the dural grafts, which are usually used for duraplasty, is still partial. Therefore, implantation of decellular dura mater (DM) to recipient from different donor and vitalization with recipient”s mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of tissue on transplantation process is significant approach. This approach prevents immunological reactions and provides long-term stabilization. According to this study, it is believed that this approach will provide DM healing and become crucial in DM transplantation. The aim of this study was to develop a new construct by tissue engineering of the human DM based on a decellular
We analysed the histological findings in 1146 osteoarthritic femoral heads which would have been considered suitable for bone-bank donation to determine whether pathological lesions, other than osteoarthritis, were present. We found that 91 femoral heads (8%) showed evidence of disease. The most common conditions noted were chondrocalcinosis (63 cases), avascular necrosis (13), osteomas (6) and malignant tumours (one case of low-grade chondrosarcoma and two of well-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma). There were two with metabolic bone disease (Paget’s disease and hyperparathyroid bone disease) and four with inflammatory (rheumatoid-like) arthritis. Our findings indicate that occult pathological conditions are common and it is recommended that histological examination of this regularly used source of bone
