0 | Stem cell- and growth factor-based regenerative therapies for avascular necrosis of the femoral head | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a debilitating disease of multifactorial genesis, predominately affects young patients, and often leads to the development of secondary osteoarthritis. The evolving field of regenerative medicine offers promising treatment strategies using cells, biomaterial scaffolds, an... |
0 | Metabolic bone assessment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND/AIMS: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at risk for osteopenia. To study the metabolic bone status of these patients, a cross-sectional study was conducted. METHODS: Eighty-four patients (49 women, 35 men) with inflammatory bowel disease, 34 of whom had Crohn's disease and 50 ulcerative colitis (i... |
0 | Wear particulate species and bone loss in failed total joint arthroplasties | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative contribution of polyethylene, metal, and polymethylmethacrylate (cement) particles to the overall bone loss in aseptic loosening. Twenty-four interface tissues with adjacent bone were obtained during 17 revision total joint arthroplasties (11 hips and six knees). Osteo... |
