Osteocytes, the most abundant type of bone cells, have been reported to play a significant role in the homeostasis of subchondral bone and cartilage, as well as joint diseases9,10. Recent studies have emphasized the significant role of abnormal subchondral bone remodeling in cartilage deterioration...
Meta-analysis of re-operation, nonunion, and infection after open reduction and internal fixation of patella fractures The subcutaneous location of the patella and the demand for early knee motion contribute to the difficulty in treating patients with patella fractures. The... CJ Dy,MTM Little,MB...
TAMs are generally considered to be derived from the myelomonocytic lineage and to develop from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).98,99,100Moreover, they are generally recruited from the blood circulation to the site of the lesion to eliminate infection, inflammation or tumor cells, such as osteosar...
Open fractures and severe fractures are susceptible to delayed healing. However, patients with the most severe fracture complications were excluded from study participation. Patients with pathologic fractures (fractures occurring through diseased bone due to tumor, infection, Paget's disease, etc.) are ...

For these reasons, the local delivery of gentamicin is studied, and innovative preparations based on cement and polymeric beads are already on the market. Local antibiotic delivery to bone can exploit scaffolds for bone regeneration as drug carriers. In this perspective, the infection treatment and ...
Cement leakage occurred in 4 cases (out of a total of 28 cases with cement augmentation), hematoma in 1 case, and surgical site infection in 2 cases. In total, seven postoperative complications occurred in six patients (9.1%). Complications only occurred in patients with sarcopenia (p = 0.01...
