The aim of the study is to analyse the effects of ropivacaïne on a pyrolytic implant in bone surgery. Ten rats were operated with a pyrolytic implant placed at the hip after femoral head resection: five cases with continuous infusion of ropivacaïne and five cases with continuous infusion of sterile water. Six days after, all the implants were analysed: weight, length, width, thickness and global design. This work showed that ropivacaïne can be use as continuous infusion with pyrolytic implant. Other studies in human surgery are necessary.

Positive impact of pyrocarbon and mechanical loading on cartilage-like tissue synthesis in a scaffold-free process.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create engineered cartilage using pyrocarbon (PyC) biomaterial and differentiated chondrocytes, focusing on a scaffold-free and mechanically stimulated process.
- By applying uniaxial cyclic compression in a specially designed tribo-bioreactor, the researchers aimed to keep the chondrocytes in a cartilage-like phenotype while enhancing the matrix composition.
- Findings indicated that the combination of PyC and dynamic stimulation led to denser constructs with improved mechanical properties and no signs of unwanted cell maturation, highlighting the effectiveness of integrating biomaterials with mechanical stimuli in tissue engineering.
Metallosis Associated with Pyrocarbon Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Implant - A Case Report.

Arthroplasty of the small joints of the hand and fingers is a complex problem facing the hand surgeon. Pyrocarbon implants have been available for several decades. They were originally thought to provide better functional outcomes than silicone implants in patients, mostly due to recreation of the joint anatomy.

Background: The MoPyc radial head arthroplasty (RHA) is a monopolar implant with a pyrocarbon head that obtains rigid fixation via controlled expansion of the titanium stem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term to midterm outcomes of MoPyc RHA.
Materials And Methods: Between 2002 and 2021, 139 MoPyc RHA were implanted in 139 patients with a RH fracture.
Objective: Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis is the second most common degenerative articular disease. Although initial therapy should be conservative, surgical treatment is often required. Several surgical techniques have been described, but none has proved to be a gold-standard.

Case: A 54-year-old male with osteoarthritis of the right long finger metacarpophalangeal joint underwent PyroCarbon joint arthroplasty. Seven years later the patient presented for metacarpophalangeal joint swelling and pain. The workup was benign, without signs of implant complication or osseous abnormality.
