Long-Term Evaluation of Bone Healing Monitoring Using an Instrumented Plate with Measurement Sensors (Smart Implant) over 10 Years

open access: yesSensors
A total of 66 smart implants were included. As a measure of bony stability, the relative elastic compliance of the osteosynthesis was determined from the gradient between the applied external load and the measured implant load over the entire healing ...

Treatment Trade‐Offs and Choices for Femoral Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1298-1313, May 2025.
This review examines the trade‐offs between surgical intervention and traction therapy for adult and elderly patients with femoral fractures and surgical contraindications, particularly in resource‐limited settings. While intramedullary nailing may offer better clinical outcomes, traction therapy is often preferred due to limited surgical resources ...

Ultra Short Osteotomy With Mortise‐Tenon Diaphyseal Prosthesis Reconstruction for Forearm Metastases: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
A novel mortise‐tenon diaphyseal prosthesis enables ultra‐short osteotomy for forearm bone metastases, providing stable fixation with significant pain relief and functional recovery. This approach preserves bone stock and demonstrates excellent safety, with no implant failure, local recurrence, or major complications during mid‐ to long‐term follow‐up.

Unsuspected low-grade infection in revision surgery for nonunion in foot and ankle arthrodesis: incidence, causative microorganisms, and treatment

open access: yesBone & Joint Open
Aims: Nonunion after foot and ankle arthrodesis is a major complication, which can lead to revision arthrodesis with increased risk of morbidity. Multiple factors can contribute to developing a nonunion, including a low-grade infection. The aim of this

Population level data on aging in periodontal and peri‐implant health—Aging is not a contraindication for periodontal or peri‐implant therapy

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Global population aging is leading to a greater retention of natural teeth into later life and an increasing prevalence of dental implant therapy. Although advanced age has traditionally been regarded as a risk factor for compromised outcomes, population level evidence remains lacking.

Predicting the Nonunion of the Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture Following Low‐Energy Injuries by Quantifying Vertebral Marrow Fat Fraction on T2‐Weighted Dixon Sequences

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery
Objective Increased marrow fat fraction (MFF) of vertebrae was detected in patients with osteoporosis. However, MFF of the fractured vertebrae decreased significantly following the fracture.
