A cost analysis of ankle fractures treated by orthopedic surgeons with or without foot and ankle fellowship training at ambulatory surgery centers and hospitals

SAGE Open Medicine, 2022
Introduction: Ankle fractures are commonly treated by orthopedic surgeons. Fellowship versus non-fellowship training often adds a different perspective, use of specialty-specific implants, comfort with outpatient procedures, and may contribute to cost ...

Dexamethasone Delivery via Amphiphilic, Low‐swelling Hydrogels Treats Postoperative Inflammation in Cervical Spine Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
DexaPatch, an implantable, low‐swelling amphiphilic hydrogel system containing dexamethasone‐PLGA microparticles, is developed and characterized for sustained local steroid release to reduce postoperative inflammation in tight surgical spaces. DexaPatch significantly reduces postoperative edema and fibrosis in a rabbit model of anterior spinal surgery,

An Animal‐Free Patient‐Derived Tissue‐Mimetic Biochip Model of the Human Synovial Membrane for Human‐Relevant Osteoarthritis Research

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Reihs et al. present the development of a humanized, animal‐free synovial membrane model for osteoarthritis. Methods include 3D biochip cultures of human‐primary OA synoviocytes with matrix and serum surrogates. Results show replication of synovial architecture and increased Yap1 expression.

Cold Atmospheric Plasma Selectively Disrupts Breast Cancer Growth in a Bioprinted 3D Tumor‐Stroma Co‐Culture Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This research introduces a cold plasma‐based platform for treating breast cancer bone metastases. Using a novel bioprinted 3D tumor‐stroma model, it highlights the selective antitumor effects of plasma‐generated reactive species. The platform aims to advance non‐invasive therapeutic strategies, offering potential clinical applications in controlling ...

Si Inhibited Osteoclastogenesis: The Role of Fe and the Fenton Reaction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicate (Si) inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, is mediated by Fe. Si chemical interactions with Fe inhibit the Fenton reaction and intercellular ROS availability. This reduction in ROS availability inhibits osteoclastogenesis. The addition of Fe, in Si‐inhibited osteoclast cultures, restores the Fenton reaction, and osteoclastogenesis.

Effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban or low-molecular-weight heparin in non-major orthopedic surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Patients undergoing non-major orthopedic surgery often face an increased risk of venous thromboembolism due to the necessity of immobilization postoperatively. Current guidelines commonly recommend the use of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH)

Toward Noninvasively Imaging pH at the Surface of Implanted Orthopedic Devices in Live Rabbits Using X‐ray Excited Luminescence Chemical Imaging

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Imaging pH in a live rabbit at the surface of a sensor‐coated titanium plate using X‐ray excited luminescent chemical imaging (XELCI). A raster scanning X‐ray beam generates radioluminescence from a spot on the sensor, and the luminescence passes through the tissue and is collected at two wavelengths to determine local pH.

An Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Strain‐Controlled, Tissue‐Specific Compression of Cartilage and Mineralized Osteochondral Interface to Study Mechanical Overloading in Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...
