Joint replacement surgery—most commonly performed on hips and knees—has transformed the lives of millions by relieving pain, restoring movement, and improving quality of life. As technology advances, surgeons now have choices in how they fixate the prosthesis to the bone. The two primary techniques are cemented fixation and cementless fixation (also called uncemented fixation). ...
Introduction to Bioglass Bioglass, also known as bioactive glass, is a type of synthetic material that has revolutionized the fields of medicine and dentistry. First developed in the late 1960s by Dr. Larry Hench and his team at the University of Florida, Bioglass is a glass-ceramic material that has the unique ability to bond with living tissue. This property, known as bioactivity, makes it an ...

Posterolateral Rabbit Spinal Fusion Study I. Introduction Autologous bone has long been the gold standard for bone graft substitute in spinal fusion procedures. The limited supply and morbidity associated with using autologous graft material led to the development of alternative bone grafting materials. Bioactive glass has a long history of biomedical use and has been shown to facilitate mineral ...
What happens when you bring 90+ expert dentistry and maxillofacial surgeon’s together in a room to unpack the burgeoning world of collagen membrane technology and digital dentistry? There are plenty of reasons to smile, that’s what. On Tuesday 7 August 2018, Australian regenerative medicine company Orthocell (ASX:OCC) sponsored and participated in an industry forum, Advances in ...
An ideal bone grafting material should be compatible with physiological environment, provoke osseous tissue formation and adapt degradation behaviour to new bone tissue growth. Calcium phosphates, a main inorganic constituent of the human hard tissue, are by far the best substitute materials for bone reconstruction because of their excellent bioactivity, biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. In ...
Bone related infectious diseases (including osteomyelitis and prosthesis infection) are of great concern to the medical world. These types of deep tissue infections involve biofilms and are frequently chronic and always painful. Biofilms are infections whereby bacteria form a robust colony protected by a sticky slime matrix from the body's immune system (or natural clearance) and are resistant to ...
Leptin plays a role in foetal growth. Osteocalcin, a bone specific protein, reflects bone formation rate. This study aims to investigate the effect of leptin and osteocalcin on physical growth of newborns. About 40 full-term and 41 preterm healthy babies were included. Umbilical cord samples were analysed for leptin and osteocalcin. Anthropometric measurements were taken on newborns. Leptin was ...
