A conceptual framework for soft tissue management of transdermal bone-anchored implants in extremity prostheses

open access: yesOTA International
. Soft tissue complications are among the most common reasons for revision surgery following transdermal, bone-anchored osseointegration. While many orthopaedic surgeons are familiar and experienced with the use of intramedullary implants, the soft ...

Tunable Release of Ions from Graphene Oxide Laminates for Sustained Antibacterial Activity in a Biomimetic Environment

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A slow and longer‐term delivery of silver ions for sustained antimicrobial activity is developed by incorporating silver ions within the 2D nanocapillaries of GO laminates. The controlled release of silver ions from these laminates has provided sustained antimicrobial activity for more than 10 days in a biomimetic environment.

A macrophage model of osseointegration

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016
Abstract The mechanisms of peri-implant de novo bone formation and contact osteogenesis are still largely unknown. In 1984 Donath et al. showed that macrophages were the first cells to colonize a titanium implant. Recently it was shown that that there are inflammatory (M1) and healing macrophages (M2), the latter of which can secrete BMP

Osseointegration for elderly patients

open access: yesImplant Dentistry, 1994
Successful osseointegration promises a virtual panacea for the edentulous predicament. However, the impact of this technique on specific age groups is far from clear. In an attempt to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of implant-supported prostheses in geriatric patients, the treatment outcomes of elderly patients already included in ongoing ...

Osseointegration of dental implants in patients with oral bisphosphonate intake: a review

open access: yesJournal of Craniomaxillofacial Research, 2015
Introduction: Bisphosphonates are  widely used  for  various bone  diseases including osteoporosis and bone tumors. One of the complications associated with these pharmaceutical agents is bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Well‐Defined Nanostructures: Concept, Impact and Perspective

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This perspective explores a connectivity‐driven framework for classifying well‐defined nanostructures (WDNSs) beyond traditional dimensionality‐based approaches. By highlighting discrete connections, serial connections, 2.5D connections, and 3D interpenetrations, it examines the structural and functional impacts of WDNSs across catalysis, energy, and ...

The Biomaterial and Blood Clot Complex: A Crucial Early Environment for Osteo‐Coagulo‐Immunomodulation and the Advancement of Bone Biomaterials

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Various properties of bone biomaterials can modulate components of the blood clot (including the fibrin network, red blood cells, platelets, and the complement system) in vivo implantation, leading to the formation of a biomaterial–blood clot complex (BBCC) significantly impacting subsequent osteoimmunomodulation.

Noninvasive electrical stimulation enhances the diabetic osseointegration via alleviating mitochondrial damage

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
A high‐glucose environment induced an imbalance in mitochondrial homeostasis, which resulted in the inhibition of bone tissue regeneration. In this study, we first introduce the exogenous noninvasive direct current electric field (DCEF) strategy for regulating mitochondrial homeostasis and explore its effect on bone regeneration in high‐glucose ...
