Advanced Testing Protocols Simulate Failures and Validate Antioxidant Polyethylene in Ankle Implants
Abstract Total ankle replacement (TAR) has become an effective treatment for end‐stage ankle osteoarthritis. Multiple factors, including patient characteristics, surgical technique, alignment, and bearing surfaces, influence TAR survivorship. Polyethylene (PE) fatigue is a key consideration in improving outcomes.

Chitosan/Platelet‐Rich Plasma Implants in an Ovine Arthroscopic Model of Meniscus Repair
ABSTRACT Despite the availability of various repair techniques, many meniscal tears remain irreparable. A freeze‐dried chitosan‐based formulation reconstituted in autologous platelet‐rich plasma has shown potential in preclinical studies for enhancing suture‐based meniscus repair.

ABSTRACT Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) exhibit reduced tibial rotations, possibly as a compensatory adaptation to mitigate mechanical stimuli on surrounding tissues. Hence, the passive threshold angle at which knee pain is sensed may reflect that surrounding tissues have received mechanical stimuli sufficient to exceed the nociceptive ...

Osteogenic Small Molecule FK506 for Enhanced Bone Formation in a Rabbit Ankle Fusion Model
ABSTRACT Non‐union remains a significant complication following ankle fusion procedures, underscoring the need for effective osteogenic adjuvants to improve boney healing and fusion outcomes. This study investigates the osteogenic potential of FK506 (Tacrolimus), both in vitro and in vivo, for enhanced ankle fusion.

Abstract Background Indirect calorimetry (IC) provides an accurate measure of energy expenditure, which informs energy requirements. Achieving energy and protein requirements is fundamental in nutrition care. This study aims to determine if the energy requirements informed by IC and estimated protein requirements are met in geriatric rehabilitation ...
