CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old female with some dysmorphism and mild osteoporosis had a fall in the shower, resulting in a Y-shaped sacral fracture and non-displaced fractures of the superior and inferior pubic ...
A new intervertebral disc nucleus replacement device having three major features has been designed, comprising: 1) a peripheral textile band, 2) a silicone membrane filled with silicone that cures in situ forming an elastomeric implant and 3) an internal chamber that allows for deformation of the cured component (Figure 1). Samples of this device were subjected to biomechanical ...

Abstract Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is currently gaining popularity in orthopedic and spinal applications but has potential drawbacks in use. PEEK is biocompatible, similar in elasticity to bone, and radiolucent; however, it has been shown to be inert and does not integrate well with bone. Recent efforts have focused on increasing the bioactivity of PEEK by modifying the ...
The early fixation of pedicle screws is crucial for improving spinal stabilisation. Firm and immediate fixation between pedicle screws and bone prevents aseptic loosening and implant failure. Coating with hydroxyapatite is a possible method to improve the fixation of metallic implants in bone. In this study, scanning transmission electron ...
