Recent and ongoing research efforts have been made to increase the efficacy of biomaterials as structural fillers during in vivo bony reconstructions. Although the selection of the possible material choices has grown, a biomaterial that can be physically molded to the defect/void space as well as offer biomimetic tissue regeneration has yet to be made available. With the potential success of demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts (DFDBA) combined with tendonous collagen as an effective filling material, further research should help to elucidate its use. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the regenerative healing response of five allograft mixtures via the morphology of filled, periodontal defects. Critical size mandibular and maxillary osseous defects were surgically created in six adult baboons. The filling response of four combinations of DFDBA and tendon collagen was compared with an all-collagen graft after 3 months of implantation. The overall results indicate that all combinations of DFDBA and collagen provided a better fill response than the all-collagen matrix (P < 0. 05). Statistically, however, all of the combinations were similar (P > 0.05) with a 60:40 collagen to DFDBA mass ratio resulting in the largest defect fill response.

The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of bone transport in treating upper- middle vs. lower- middle tibial bone defects. Sixty-two patients with tibial infected large segmental defects treated by bone transport were analyzed retrospectively and divided into distal group (lower- middle tibial bone defects and proximal transport, n=38) and proximal group (upper- middle tibial bone defects and distal transport, n=24).

Objective: Both the Masquelet technique (MT) and concentrated growth factors (CGF) reduce early graft loss and improve bone regeneration. This study aims to explore the efficacy of combining MT with CGF for mandibular defect repair by characterizing the induced membrane and assessing in vivo osteogenesis.
Materials And Methods: Three experimental groups were compared: negative control (NC), MT, and Masquelet combined with CGF (MTC).

Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD), a rare craniotubular disorder, occurs in an autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR) form. CMD is characterized by hyperostosis of craniofacial bones and metaphyseal flaring of long bones. Many patients with CMD suffer from neurological symptoms.

Revision hip arthroscopy is increasingly common and most often performed to treat residual femoroacetabular impingement caused by cam under-resection. Unfortunately, other pathologies encountered during revision hip arthroscopy are more difficult to treat, including capsular deficiency, labral deficiency, adhesion formation, and/or cam over-resection. When encountered, these various pathologies should be comprehensibly corrected with the goals of restoring anatomy, re-establishing the hip fluid seal, and ensuring impingement-free motion.
