Purpose: To bring to the attention of the orthopaedic fraternity that adolescent children smoke and this has an adverse effect on the bone regenerate during limb deformity corrective surgery.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients undergoing limb deformity corrective surgery with a prolonged frame time and bone-healing index. Patients operated on between 1993 and 2005 in a single regional specialist paediatric orthopaedic hospital.
Results: Seventeen smoking patients (16 adolescent, one aged 9 years), with prolonged bone regenerate consolidation time of more than double the standard time. Bone-healing index (BHI) was increased in both active smokers and passive smokers.
Conclusions: In the older child/adolescent we should consider smoking (active or passive) as a detrimental factor in prolonging their frame times. We should council these patients and their carers to stop smoking at least during the period of their treatment.

Treatment of complex craniofacial deformities is still a challenge for medicine and dentistry because few approach therapies are available on the market that allow rehabilitation using 3D-printed medical devices. Thus, this study aims to create a scaffold with a morphology that simulates bone tissue, able to create a favorable environment for the development and differentiation of osteogenic cells. Moreover, its association with Plenum Guide, through cell-based tissue engineering (ASCs) for guided bone regeneration in critical rat calvarial defects.

Endochondral ossification (EO) is a pivotal process during fracture healing and traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO), involving the cartilaginous matrix synthesis and mineralization. Unlike the extracellular matrix, the hyaluronan (HA)-rich pericellular matrix (PCM) directly envelops chondrocytes, serving as the frontline for extracellular signal reception and undergoing dynamic remodeling. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a secreted glycoprotein, facilitates HA matrix assembly and remodeling.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of cavity designs on instrumentation, obturation and fracture resistance for mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal.
Methods: Mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal were scanned with micro-CT. 20 teeth with moderately curved canal were prepared with conservative endodontic cavity (CEC/M) or traditional endodontic cavity (TEC/M), and 30 with severely curved canal were prepared with CEC (CEC/S), modified CEC (MCEC/S) or TEC (TEC/S).

Purpose: Olecranon osteotomy has been associated with loss of reduction, nonunion, implant failure, and migration of wires. We aim to evaluate quality of reduction of the osteotomy site as a predictor of olecranon osteotomy nonunion.
Methods: One hundred and twenty-five distal humerus fractures that underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) were reviewed.

Elastic fibers of the internal and external elastic laminae maintain blood vessel shapes. Impairment of smooth muscle cell function leads to vascular disease development. F-box and WD-40 domain-containing protein 2 (FBXW2) is associated with elastic fibers and osteocalcin expression for bone regeneration in the periosteum.
