The degradation of materials commonly starts on the surface of the object and proceeds towards inside through pores, increasing fractures and lesions. To restore mechanical and aesthetic characteristics, it is necessary by the application of consolidants to fill these weak points so that they become inaccessible to corrosive agents. Greater is the amount of consolidant that penetrates, greater the efficiency of the restoration. This is the limiting factor of many approaches which due to very tight pores result not fully successful. The consolidation under vacuum can help to pass these difficulties. So we have adopted it to restore Macco samples and tested to consolidate archaeological bones. The samples were consolidated by complete immersion under vacuum (-700 mm Hg), in a consolidant solution containing 8% w/V of diammonium phosphate. The success of the application to both the kind of samples is shown by microscope images, SEM-EDAX analysis, and weight variation.

Background: The Masquelet induced membrane technique is a surgical procedure that allows the reconstruction of segmental bone defects using a relatively simple approach that requires minimal resources from both the healthcare facility and the patient. Historically applied to the lower limb, this technique is gaining increasing attention in the literature for its use in the upper limb.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify all studies reporting the outcomes of the Masquelet induced membrane technique in the long bones of the upper limb (humerus, radius, and ulna) with a sample size of at least 3 patients.

Background And Objective: Osteoarthritis is a widespread and debilitating condition, particularly affecting the medial compartment of knee joint due to varus knee deformities. Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) has emerged as an effective treatment, but it comes with challenges like fractures, correction loss, and nonunion, leading to unsatisfactory results in up to 26 % of patients. In response, our study explores the potential of a bioabsorbable magnesium-based bulk metallic glass composite (MgZnCa BMGC) enriched with molybdenum particles as an innovative solution for MOWHTO.

Osteochondral damage, caused by trauma, tumors, or degenerative diseases, presents a major challenge due to the limited self-repair capacity of the tissue. Traditional treatments often result in significant trauma and unpredictable outcomes. Recent advances in bone/cartilage tissue engineering, particularly in scaffold materials and fabrication technologies, offer promising solutions for osteochondral regeneration.
