Autonomous Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Outcomes of total hip arthroplasty, as a salvage procedure, following failed internal fixation of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

, 2016
AIMS: The optimal management of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck in independently mobile patients remains open to debate. Successful fixation obviates the limitations of arthroplasty for this group of patients.

Short-Term Radiographic Evaluation of a Tri-Tapered Femoral Stem in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction. Direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become increasingly popular, largely due to utilization of a true internervous and intermuscular plane. However, recent literature has demonstrated an increased rate of femoral

Disruption of Sulfur Metabolism and Redox Homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus Using Mechanically Robust Antibiofilm Ti‐Bi Alloys

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Titanium (Ti) and bismuth (Bi) are selected as alloying elements for the preparation of the Ti‐Bi binary alloy system. Biofilm formation is found to be inhibited by bismuth through the disruption of sulfur metabolism and redox homeostasis, as well as through the direct downregulation of biofilm‐associated proteins.

Virulence‐Selective Trap–Capture–Kill Antibacterial Nanostructures With Immune–Metabolic Regulation for Treating Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A virulence‐selective antibacterial system based on fascaplysin derivative 14‐modified TiO2 nanostructure (F‐14‐TNA) is developed for treating implant‐associated infections. F‐14‐TNA selectively traps hyperpathogenic bacteria via chemotaxis, captures them electrostatically, and kills them via reactive oxygen species‐mediated pathways.

Antibiotic-Loaded Bone Cement and Risk of Infection After Knee Arthroplasty in High-Risk Patients

JBJS Open Access
Background:. The use of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is debated. Some argue that ALBC might only be justified in high-risk patients. This study assessed the effectiveness of ALBC vs. plain bone cement (PBC)

Neuronal Endothelin a Receptor Mediates Experimental and Clinical Vascular Pain through an Endothelial‐Neural Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors develop mouse models by mimicking peripheral vascular diseases, combining multiple strategies and transgenic mouse lines, to demonstrate that ECs, but not macrophages or SMCs, play an active role mediated by endothelial ET‐1/neural ETAR signaling and beyond endothelial homeostatic angiocrine by driving protective pain through the ...
