The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intermittent administration of human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH (1-34)] on the removal torque of implants placed in rabbit tibiae. Twenty male New Zealand rabbits were submitted to implant surgery. Each animal received one machined screw-type implant (3.75 mm diameter x 8 mm length) in the proximal metaphysis of the right tibia. The rabbits were then divided into 2 groups: the test group (n = 10) received 6 microg/kg of rhPTH (1-34) subcutaneously in the dorsal region 3 days a week, and the control group (n = 10) received placebo. Removal torque was performed at 28 and 56 days after implant placement for both groups. The mean removal torque values at 28 days were 37.0 +/- 4.36 Ncm and 47.4 +/- 6.77 Ncm for control and test groups respectively (P < .05). At 56 days the reverse torque was 45.8 +/- 3.96 Ncm for the control group and 55.8 +/- 2.86 Ncm for the test group, indicating that the removal torque was significantly higher in the test groups (P < .05). These results demonstrated that intermittent treatment with rhPTH (1-34) enhanced the removal torque of implants in rabbit tibiae.

Osseointegration and fixation opportunities of sacroiliac instrumentation: a preclinical evaluation in a large animal model.

Background: Implant fixation is often the cornerstone of musculoskeletal surgical procedures performed to provide bony fixation and/or fusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate how different design features and manufacturing methods influence implant osseointegration and mechanical properties associated with fixation in a standardized model in cancellous bone of adult sheep.
Methods: We evaluated the performance of three titanium alloy implants: (A) iFuse-TORQ implant; (B) Fenestrated Sacroiliac Device; and (C) Standard Cancellous Bone Screw in the cancellous bone of the distal femur and proximal tibia in 8 sheep.

Cable-driven exosuits have the potential to support individuals with motor disabilities across the continuum of care. When supporting a limb with a cable, force sensors are often used to measure tension. However, force sensors add cost, complexity, and distal components.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the osseointegration properties of titanium bone implants coated with carob-mediated calcium hydroxide nanoparticles biomechanically, radiographically, and histologically on rabbit tibias.
Material And Methods: Forty coated and forty uncoated titanium alloy bone implants were inserted into 20 New Zealand rabbits; each tibia received 2 implants. The rabbits were sacrificed after 4 or 8 weeks, and samples were retrieved for biomechanical evaluation through removal torque test to assess the bond between implant and bone, radiographic evaluation through microcomputed tomography analysis to compare the bone-to-implant contact percentage and bone volume of the peri-implant area, scanning electron microscopic and histologic evaluation through hematoxylin and eosin stain.
Sequential Anterior Longitudinal Ligament Release With Expandable Spacers for Lordosis Correction in Anterior-to-Psoas Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Radiographic and Biomechanical Study.

Background: Anterior column realignment is an attractive minimally invasive treatment for sagittal imbalance. Expandable spacers offer controlled tensioning of the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) during release, which could optimize correction and anterior column stability. This study investigated the biomechanical and radiographic effects of single-level anterior-to-psoas lumbar interbody fusion (ATP-LIF) with expandable spacers and sequential ALL release.

Statement Of Problem: Three months after implant placement, difficulty was encountered in unscrewing the healing abutment within the normal torque range (<35 Ncm), resulting in the removal of the implant. Despite all attempts, the implant could not then be separated from the healing abutment. Retrospective analysis of intraoperative photographs revealed the presence of blood or bone debris within the implant before the healing abutment was placed; this was considered to be the likely cause of this phenomenon.
