Optimizing biophysical properties of cellular niches to enhance stem cell‐derived extracellular vesicle function in musculoskeletal regeneration

BMEMat, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem cells show promise for applications in regenerative medicine, but their scalability and yield remain challenges. This review explores the approaches for biophysical modulations within cell niches on EV properties, discusses the current clinical application of EVs, and provides an outlook on the existing ...

Femoral lengthening using the ilizarov technique

West Indian Medical Journal, 2006
The Ilizarov method allows the surgeon to perform extended lengthening of both congenital and acquired short limbs. The technique can be difficult, time consuming and is associated with many complications. Generally, the number of complications and failures of lengthenings increases in proportion to the length of the distraction and the severity of the

Osteosynthesis of fractures after elbow ankylosis treated with an Ilizarov external ring fixator: A case report

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
Treatment with an Ilizarov ring external fixator is less invasive of soft tissues than is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery. Operative treatment of fractures with an Ilizarov ring external fixator after elbow ankylosis has not been ...

Tibial Osteodistraction Angiogenesis for Diabetic Foot Ischemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Wound Repair and Regeneration, Volume 34, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Diabetes‐related lower extremity amputations (LEAs) are a significant global issue, exacerbated by the rising prevalence of diabetes and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Traditional revascularization techniques often fail in patients with severe vascular damage or comorbidities.

Sequential Limb Lengthening: A Novel Staged Approach Combining External Fixation and a Motorized Intramedullary Lengthening Nail for a Large Posttraumatic Tibial Defect

Case Reports in Orthopedics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Managing large posttraumatic tibial defects presents significant challenges. External fixation is effective for distraction osteogenesis but has drawbacks, including prolonged treatment time and complications. Intramedullary lengthening nails improve patient comfort but have limitations in large bone transport. While combined techniques have

Single‐Stage Double‐Level Ilizarov Reconstruction for Distal Congenital Femoral Deficiency in Early Childhood: A Case Report

Case Reports in Orthopedics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) with primary distal involvement (Paley Type 4) is the rarest phenotype in a spectrum that affects roughly 1 in 40,000–100,000 live births. Such children present early with pronounced limb length discrepancy (LLD), genu valgum, and patellofemoral maltracking.
