Aim Of The Study: In this study, innovative bone replacement material was tested after complicated metaphyseal radius fractures with the affected joints.
Material And Methods: In all, 11 C 2, 11 C 3 and 3 A 3 radius fractures were treated by surgery combining an angularly stable palmar plate osteosynthesis with defect filling using nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite. Examinations were conducted preoperatively and postoperatively after 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 9-12 months.
Results: After 10.5+/-1.4 months, inclination angles of 8.7+/-1.8 degrees (dorsopalmar) and 18.8+/-2.9 degrees (radioulnar) were measured at the treated fractures, the ulnar drift was 0.6+/-1.8 mm. According to the Gartland/Werley scale, 10 therapeutic results were considered "excellent", 12 "good" and 3 "fair".
Conclusion: An angularly stable plate osteosynthesis with metaphyseal defect filling using nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite for the treatment of A 3, C 2 and C 3 radius fractures showed satisfactory radiological and clinical results.

Extensive and closely coordinated remodeling processes take place in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and the adjacent bone during orthodontic tooth movement. In complex orthodontic cases, it is necessary to move teeth into an augmented bony defect, for example, in patients with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. The important role of the PDL during tooth movement is well accepted but not fully understood.

The aim of this work is to investigate the changes in the physicochemical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) extracted from horse humerus bones of different ages (1, 3, 6, and 8 years) subjected to low temperature calcination (600°C). Thermal analysis revealed significant mass loss due to water, collagen, organic compounds, carbonates, and age-related magnesium out-diffusion. Higher fat content in older bones contributed to increased mass loss.

The repair of critical-sized bone defects remains a major challenge for clinical orthopedic surgery. Here, we develop a surface biofunctionalized three-dimensional (3D) porous polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) scaffold that can simultaneously promote osteogenesis and regulate macrophage polarization. The scaffold is created using polydopamine (PDA)-assisted immobilization of silk fibroin (SF) and the electrostatic self-assembly of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) on a 3D-printed porous PEEK scaffold.

Simulated body fluid (SBF) and artificial saliva (AS) are used in biomedical and dental research to mimic the physiological conditions of the human body. In this study, the biomimetic precipitation of double-doped amorphous calcium phosphate in SBF and AS are compared by thermodynamic modelling of chemical equilibrium in the SBF/AS-CaCl-MgCl-ZnCl-KHPO-HO and SBF/AS-CaCl-MgCl-ZnCl-KHPO-Glycine/Valine-HO systems. The saturation indices (SIs) of possible precipitate solid phases at pH 6.

Calcium phosphates (Ca-P) represent a significant class of biological minerals found in natural hard tissues. Crystallization through phase transformation of a metastable precursor is an effective strategy to guide the growth of crystalline Ca-P with exceptional functionality. Despite extensive research on Ca-P, the exact process during the crystallization of amorphous particles to hydroxyapatite (HA) remains elusive.
