Background: Critical-size bone defects (CSBDs) pose significant challenges in clinical orthopaedics and traumatology. Developing reliable preclinical models that accurately simulate human conditions is crucial for translational research. This study addresses the need for a reliable preclinical model by evaluating the design and efficacy of a custom-made 3D-printed intramedullary nail (IMN) specifically for CSBDs in minipigs.

Background And Objectives: Isolated bone tumors of the glenoid are exceedingly rare occurrence and pose a substantial surgical challenge. 3D printing technology has been proved to be a reliable tool to reconstruct complex anatomical part of the skeleton. We initially used this technology to reconstruct the glenoid component of the shoulder in a hemiarthroplasty configuration.

Article Synopsis
  • Soft tissue tumors can grow or stay the same size, but rarely shrink on their own; exceptions include conditions like inflammation and certain benign tumors.
  • Intramuscular myxomas are benign tumors that usually appear as slow-growing, painless masses and are typically removed with surgery, which has low recurrence rates.
  • This text discusses three unusual cases where intramuscular myxomas in different body areas shrank spontaneously, challenging the usual treatment approaches for these lesions.

Last twenties, tissue engineering has rapidly advanced to address the shortage of organ donors. Decellularization techniques have been developed to mitigate immune rejection and alloresponse in transplantation. However, a clear definition of effective decellularization remains elusive.
