Purpose: This experimental study in adult female sheep examined the value of nonresorbable porous hydroxyapatite (HA) as a grafting material in a single-stage sinus-lift procedure.
Materials And Methods: Two titanium plasma-flame-sprayed cylindric implants were placed bilaterally in each of 54 sinuses in 27 adult female sheep. In 2 groups of 18 sinuses each, the subantral hollow space was filled with porous HA or autogenous cancellous bone harvested from the iliac crest, respectively. Eighteen sinuses were not augmented and served as controls. The time course of new bone formation and bone remodeling was evaluated by sequential polyfluorochrome labeling. Observation periods were 12, 16, and 26 weeks after the surgical procedure. Six sinuses per observation period and test group were available for histologic evaluation.
Results: All implants were osseointegrated in the local host bone. New bone formation was observed in a triangular area bounded by the implant surface, local buccal antral wall, and submucous connective tissue around all implants. The mean length of bone-implant contact was 3.9 +/- 0.3 mm in the control group, 5.7 +/- 0.3 mm in the autogenous bone group, and 5.9 +/- 0.3 mm in the group augmented with porous HA. During the observation period, the relative length of direct bone-implant contact increased from 20% to 25.1% in the control group, from 30.4% to 35.5% in the autogenous bone group, and from 29.8% to 41.7% in the HA group. At a distance of 1 mm from the implant, the mean bone volume was 29.7 +/- 15.7% in the autogenous bone group. In the group augmented with HA the mean bone volume was 11.2 +/- 13.0%.
Discussion: There was no significant difference between HA and autogenous bone regarding bone-implant contact (P = .89).
Conclusions: Both groups showed a significantly greater bone-implant contact (HA: P = .002; autogenous bone: P = .0005) than the empty control group. However, since the results varied widely, the use of HA alone for sinus grafting should be used with discretion in sinus-lift procedures.

Purpose: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare condition typically manifesting within the first decade of life. The primary objectives of surgical intervention for CPT include achieving long-term bony union of the tibia, preventing or minimizing limb length discrepancies (LLD), avoiding mechanical axis deviations of the tibia and adjacent joints, and preventing refracture. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of current treatment methods for CPT to determine the most effective non-surgical and surgical management strategies for pediatric patients with this condition.

Osteochondritis dissecans is a rare condition characterized by the deterioration of a small area of bone and cartilage without infection. Its exact cause is unclear, though factors such as abnormal bone development, joint pressure, repetitive injuries, inadequate blood supply, and genetic links have been observed. In this case, a 27-year-old woman experienced chronic right knee pain following a twisting injury, which led to reduced mobility and mild pain.

In cases of large mandibular continuity defects resulting from malignancy resection, the current standard of care involves using patient-specific/custom titanium reconstruction plates along with autogenous grafts (fibula, scapula, or iliac crest segments). However, when grafts are not feasible or desired, only the reconstruction plate is used to bridge the gap. Unfortunately, metal osteosynthesis and reconstruction plates, including titanium, exhibit adverse effects such as stress-shielding and limitations in accurate postoperative irradiation (especially with proton-beam therapy).

Background: Cervical spine pyogenic infection (CSPI) is a rare and challenging form of spinal infection that is typically caused by pyogenic bacteria and primarily affects the cervical vertebral bodies and surrounding tissues. Given its nonspecific symptoms, such as fever and neck pain, early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe complications, including spinal cord injury. We report a previously unreported case of acute CSPI arising from chronic paronychia, exploring its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges through a review of the current literature.

Background: Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT) is a rare pediatric condition presenting substantial challenges for orthopedic surgeons. Aiming to achieve bone union, with subsequent complications such as refractures being common. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the results of our intentional cross-union protocol and to compare these outcomes with those obtained from our previously used techniques.
