BACKGROUND Severe proximal humerus comminuted fractures are often accompanied by medial calcar comminuted fractures and loss of medial support,which are important factors that lead to internal fixation failure.The app...
The gold standard for treating peripheral nerve injuries that have large nerve gaps where the nerves cannot be directly sutured back together because it creates tension on the nerve,is to incorporate an autologous ner...
Purpose:Osteochondral lesion of talus(OLT)is one of the common causes of ankle pain.This disorder is common in young athletes after ankle injury.There are various therapeutic options.One of the options is mosaic plast...
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) and iliac crest autograft in the fusion treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods: The studies using randomized ...
The authors are deeply saddened by the recent passing(2nd November 2015)of Professor Howard Green;the pioneer of cultured skin cell therapy.The authors are always grateful to him for his help and the gift of 3T3-J2 which made possible the use of cultured epithelial autografts to treat severe burn injuries in Singapore
Current advances in basic stem cell research and tissue engineering augur well for the development of improved cultured skin tissue substitutes:a class of products that is still fraught with limitations for clinical u...
With advances in biomedical methods, tissue-engineered materials have developed rapidly as an alternative to nerve autografts for the repair of peripheral nerve injuries. However, the materials selected for use in the...
Treatment of peripheral nerve injuries remains a challenge to modern medicine due to the com-plexity of the neurobiological nerve regenerating process. There is a greater challenge when the transected nerve ends are n...

Background Bone grafting is commonly used to repair bone defects.As the porosity of the graft scaffold increases,bone formation increases,but the strength decreases.Early attempts to engineer materials were not able t...
AIM: To investigate donor site's area histological and immunohistochemical knee cartilage appearances after resurfacing iatrogenic defects with biosynthetic plugs orautografts. METHODS: Thirty New Zealand White rabbit...
Objective:To report the clinical outcome of repairing massive bone defects biologically in limbs by homeochronous using structural bone allografts with intramedullary vascularized fibular autografts. Methods: From Jan...
