Tibial Spine Fractures.

Sports Med Arthrosc Rev

December 2024

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA.

Tibial spine fractures (TSFs) are a relatively uncommon knee injury that most commonly occurs in skeletally immature pediatric patients following a sports or bicycle-related injury. Treatment of TSFs is guided based on fracture displacement on radiographs and associated injuries. Surgical treatment is recommended for displaced TSFs with arthroscopic or open reduction and fixation.

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and matrix-induced ACI (MACI) have demonstrated improved clinical outcomes and reduced revision rates for treating osteochondral and chondral defects. However, their ability to achieve lasting, fully functional repair remains limited. To overcome these challenges, scaffold-enhanced ACI, particularly utilizing hydrogel-based biomaterials, has emerged as an innovative strategy.

Background: Patellofemoral osteochondral fractures (OCFs) have the potential to hinder patients' function and quality of life. Several fragment fixation techniques have been described, with both metallic screw and bioabsorbable fixation showing favorable functional outcomes. Despite the promising results associated with both fixation methods, no study has directly compared their functional outcomes.

November 2024

Department of Molecular Pharmaceutics, Health Sciences, Cell Sheet Tissue Engineering Center (CSTEC), University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of articular cartilage and the leading cause of disability, is preceded by acute cartilage injury in a significant proportion of cases. Current auto- and allograft interventions are limited by supply and variability in therapeutic efficacy, prompting interest in tissue engineering solutions. Cell sheet tissue engineering, a scaffold-free regenerative technique, has shown promise in preclinical and clinical trials across various cell types and diseases.
