Background And Objectives: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a new generation of biomaterial that proved to be an effective tool in numerous clinical uses. This study aims at expanding the range effectiveness of PRF in promoting bone healing by histological evaluation.
Materials And Methods: We performed a pair of two calvaria defects on 35 Wistar rats. The left defect was left empty as a control and the right defect was augmented with PRF. After 45 days, the experiment was terminated and the calvaria were collected and underwent morphological and histological analysis.
Results: New bone formations have been shown to be prevalent in the PRF augmented defect.
Conclusions: PRF increases the body's natural ability to heal and regenerate bone.

Massive Periacetabular Osteolysis Treated With Acetabular Cup Retention and Cemented Screw Fixation.

Management of periacetabular osteolysis is a challenging dilemma in revision total hip arthroplasty. When the acetabular shell is well-fixed, the surgeon may prefer to retain the cup to minimize further bone loss. However, filling the surrounding defect can be difficult if the area of involvement is massive.

Addressing irregular bone defects is a formidable clinical challenge, as traditional scaffolds frequently fail to meet the complex requirements of bone regeneration, resulting in suboptimal healing. This study introduces a novel 3D-printed magnesium scaffold with hierarchical structure (macro-, meso-, and nano-scales) and tempered degradation (microscale), intricately customized at multiple scales to bolster bone regeneration according to patient-specific needs. For the hierarchical structure, at the macroscale, it can feature anatomic geometries for seamless integration with the bone defect; The mesoscale pores are devised with optimized curvature and size, providing an adequate mechanical response as well as promoting cellular proliferation and vascularization, essential for natural bone mimicry; The nanoscale textured surface is enriched with a layered double hydroxide membrane, augmenting bioactivity and osteointegration.

Arthroscopy

Revision hip arthroscopy is increasingly common and most often performed to treat residual femoroacetabular impingement caused by cam under-resection. Unfortunately, other pathologies encountered during revision hip arthroscopy are more difficult to treat, including capsular deficiency, labral deficiency, adhesion formation, and/or cam over-resection. When encountered, these various pathologies should be comprehensibly corrected with the goals of restoring anatomy, re-establishing the hip fluid seal, and ensuring impingement-free motion.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the biomechanical performance of elastic and static suture-based cerclage systems to traditional screw constructs in the setting of modeled glenoid bony augmentation.
Methods: Biomechanical testing was conducted on polyurethane cellular foam blocks modeling a 20 % glenoid defect repaired with a coracoid graft. Constructs consisted of an elastic suture-based cerclage, static suture-based cerclage, and a two-screw construct.
Tissue Perfusion and Biomarkers Assessment Following Root Coverage Procedures.

Division of Periodontology, Department of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Aim: To assess tissue perfusion changes and wound healing biomarker levels after root coverage procedures with coronally advanced flap in combination with the cross-linked xenogeneic collagen matrix (CCMX), loaded either with a placebo or recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF).
Methods: This study was designed as a secondary analysis from a previously published clinical trial, and it assessed the tissue perfusion changes over 6 months around multiple gingival recession defects, treated with either with CCMX alone (control) or with CCMX + rhPDGF (test). High frequency Doppler ultrasonography (HFUS) scans were obtained at sites of interest at baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.
