Inorganic cements have found utility in tissue replacement since the late nineteenth century,
one of the first examples being calcium sulphates in the augmentation of bone defects. In the …

Aims Chronic osteomyelitis may recur if dead space management, after excision of infected
bone, is inadequate. This study describes the results of a strategy for the management of …

Recent publications have shown that the combination of α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate, the
densest form of hydrates and hydroxyapatite (HA) particles gives good clinical outcome in …

Background: Bone-graft substitutes are commonly used for the augmentation of traumatic
bone defects in tibial plateau fractures. However, their clinical performance compared with …

Aims Excision of chronic osteomyelitic bone creates a dead space which must be managed
to avoid early recurrence of infection. Systemic antibiotics cannot penetrate this space in …

Aims Dead-space management, following dead bone resection, is an important element of
successful chronic osteomyelitis treatment. This study compared two different biodegradable …

The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize a nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) and
calcium sulfate bone substitute (NC) for cranioplasty. The NC was functionalized with low …

Since the advent of modern technological civilization, tremendous pollution has been
emerged in our environment by disposing of waste material in the environment …

Objectives Deep bone and joint infections (DBJI) are directly intertwined with health,
demographic change towards an elderly population, and wellbeing. The elderly human …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties and the in vitro
and in vivo osteogenesis of the newly developed calcium silicate containing 5 wt% gelatin …
