A considerable number of international research groups as well as commercial entities work
on the development of new bone grafting materials, carriers, growth factors and specifically …

Currently, well-established clinical therapeutic approaches for bone reconstruction are
restricted to the transplantation of autografts and allografts, and the implantation of metal …

Critical-size bone defects, which require large-volume tissue reconstruction, remain a
clinical challenge. Bone engineering has the potential to provide new treatment concepts …

Open-porous titanium scaffolds for large segmental bone defects offer advantages like early
weight-bearing and limited risk of implant failure. The objective of this experimental study …

Mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) represent an attractive cell population for bone tissue
engineering. Their special immunological characteristics suggest that MPCs may be used in …

Background: The supratrochlear foramen of the humerus is located at the septum separating
the coronoid from the olecranon fossa. Beyond its anthropologic interest, that trait seems to …

Nonunion treatment has a high rate of success, although recalcitrant nonunion may
determine the need for amputation. Therefore, new treatment options are continuously …

In the field of fracture healing it is essential to know the impacts of new materials. Fracture
healing of long bones is studied in various animal models and extrapolated for use in …

Background The bone nonunion is an important complication of bone fracture repair. The
existing models developed on small animal species prevent using osteosynthesis materials …

The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in peak reverse torque (PRT) of the
locking head screws that occur over time. A locking plate construct, consisting of an 8-hole …
