Aim: The aim of the study was to validate macerated human acetabuli as replacement for fresh frozen preparations for testing primary stability and the screwing in moments of cementless threaded hip cups.
Method: Three fresh frozen human pelvis were tested. One half of each pelvis was macerated whereas the other half was preserved as fresh frozen preparation. In the side of every pelvis the moments of screwing-in, the micromotions, the maximum expressing force and the maximum pull-out torque were determined.
Results: The screwing in moments, the maximum expressing forces and the maximum pull-out torques did not change. The micromotions were reduced to half.
Conclusion: Considering the reduction of the micromotions, macerated human acetabuli are valid replacements for fresh frozen preparations for testing the primary stability and the screwing-in behaviour of screwed pans.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of four sterilization techniques on meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) in rabbits.
Methods: In total, 85 medial or lateral meniscuses were obtained from 22 adult New Zealand white rabbits. These 85 meniscal allografts were seeded with () and randomly divided into five groups (= 17): iodine group, Cobalt-60 group, glutaraldehyde group, ethylene oxide group and control group.

Current dissociation methods for solid tissues in scRNA-seq studies do not guarantee intact single-cell isolation, especially for sensitive and complex human endocrine tissues. Most studies rely on enzymatic dissociation of fresh samples or nuclei isolation from frozen samples. Dissociating whole intact cells from fresh-frozen samples, commonly collected by biobanks, remains a challenge.

Background: There is growing evidence that medial meniscotibial ligament (MTL) deficiency and medial meniscus extrusion may precede the development of some medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) tears. However, no study has investigated the biomechanical consequences of MTL deficiency on the MMPR.
Hypothesis: (1) MTL deficiency leads to increased medial meniscus extrusion, (2) increased medial meniscus extrusion is correlated with increased compression and shear forces at the MMPR, and (3) MTL repair restores medial meniscus extrusion and MMPR forces to native levels.

Objective: Many cancer survivors may experience irreversible infertility due to chemotherapy treatment for childhood cancer. In this study, spermatogenesis development was evaluated following the grafting of fresh and frozen-thawed testicular tissue from neonatal mice to the epididymal fat of adult mice.
Methods: After bilateral castration of recipient mice, fresh or frozen-thawed neonatal testis tissues were grafted into the epididymal fat of the mice.

Background And Aims: There is growing interest in the environmental impact of surgical procedures, yet more information is needed specifically regarding liver transplantation. This study aims to quantify the total greenhouse gas emissions, or carbon footprint, associated with adult whole-size liver transplantation from donors after brain death, including the relevant back-table graft preparation.
Methods: The carbon footprint was calculated retrospectively using a bottom-up approach.
