Treatment of large chondral lesions with an autologous minced cartilage technique and synovial flap leads to superior results compared to matrix associated autologous chondrocyte transplantation technique after 24 months: A controlled clinical trial

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Treating large cartilage lesions in the knee remains a challenge. While matrix‐associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) is the gold standard for medium to large lesions, the minced cartilage technique has shown promise in smaller defects. Enhancing this technique with biomaterials has been suggested for larger lesions, but

Feasibility of Laryngeal Joint Replacement: A Proof of Concept Study in Cadavers

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Treatment in advanced cases of posterior laryngeal stenosis relies on permanent tracheostomy or irreversible arytenoidectomy/cordectomy, which are compromises between voice, swallowing, and airway. While having intact laryngeal neuromuscular function, there is immobility of the vocal cord due to scarring and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint.

Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea After Pharyngeal Fat Injection for Velopharyngeal Insufficiency

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 3‐month‐old male with a chromosomal deletion (8p11.23) underwent cleft lip and palate repair with a postoperative polysomnogram (PSG) showing mild obstructive sleep apnea. He underwent multiple surgical interventions for persistent sleep apnea in subsequent years with minimal improvement. Due to persistent hypernasality, he underwent harvest

A New Polymer‐Coated Xenogeneic Extracellular Matrix to Prevent Postoperative Adhesion Readily Applicable in the Clinic

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
Postoperative adhesions remain a major challenge in neurosurgery, increasing reoperation risks and complications. This study presents an initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD)‐based polymer coating for dura substitutes, significantly reducing adhesion formation.

Nanofiber‐Coated CF/PEEK Composite: Boosting Osteogenesis for Enhanced Bone Grafting

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Carbon‐fiber‐reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) with micro‐/nano‐topographical structures on its surface is obtained by electrospinning hydrophilic fibers incorporating hydroxyapatite and gelatin onto 3D‐printed CF/PEEK. This composite material promotes a significant increase in osteoblast mineralizing potential compared to non‐coated implants ...
