The objective of this study was to fabricate a type of bone cement that could fully transform to carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) in physiological conditions. A combination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous was chosen as the powder phase and mixed with one of three kinds of sodium phosphate solutions: NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4, or Na3PO4. The cement that fully transformed to CO3Ap was fabricated using vaterite, instead of calcite, as a CaCO3 source. Their stability in aqueous solutions was different, regardless of the type of sodium phosphate solution. Rate of transformation to CO3Ap in descending order was Na3PO4>Na2HPO4>NaH2PO4. Transformation rate could be affected by the pH of solution. Results of this study showed that it was advantageous to use vaterite to fabricate CO3Ap-forming cement.

Introduction: Micromotion analysis predicts component fixation survival in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) but a paucity of literature exists for medial pivot designs. This clinical study examined the tibial component micromotion in a second-generation medial pivot TKA.
Methods: This prospective single-center clinical cohort trial involved 35 patients with a mean patient age of 71 years.
Biological Properties of Bioceramic Sealers on Osteoblastic Cells: A Comparative Study.

This study aimed to assess the biological properties of two ready-to-use bioceramic sealers (EndoSequence BC Sealer - EBCS; Bio-C Sealer - BCS) on osteoblastic lineage cells. MC3T3 osteoblast-like cells were exposed to extracts of bioceramic materials. Cytotoxicity was evaluated using the MTT method, genotoxicity was assessed by the micronucleus test and the expression of BMP1, BMP2 and ALP was measured by RT-qPCR, after 1, 3 and 7 days.

Introduction: Prompt diagnosis and management of septic arthritis are pivotal for early infection eradication, joint preservation, and prevention of quality-of-life impact consequences. Total hip arthroplasty has been introduced for the management of severe destructive septic arthritis with the aims to eradicate infection while preserving hip function. Few case studies have been done on two-stage exchange total hip arthroplasty for treatment of native hip septic arthritis using prosthesis with antibiotic-loaded acrylic cement articulating spacer with generally good outcomes.

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is increasingly used in the treatment of displaced proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) with reliable clinical improvement. However, the preferred techniques for humeral stem fixation are varied and may be influenced by patient and injury characteristics, including bone quality and fracture pattern. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to determine the effect of humeral component cementing and bone grafting on tuberosity healing rates and functional outcomes after RSA for PHFs.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the internal fit and marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM crowns made from partially and fully crystallized lithium disilicate, using two different finish line thicknesses (0.5 mm and 1 mm).
- - Twenty human molar teeth were tested, showing that the finish line thicknesses and ceramic types did not significantly affect internal fit, while the partially crystallized type demonstrated a significantly greater marginal gap compared to the fully crystallized type.
- - The conclusion indicates that while finish line thickness and ceramic type have limited impact on internal fit, the fully crystallized lithium disilicate crown offers better marginal adaptation, making it a viable alternative to the standard material.
