The possibilities of ultrasonography demonstrating periosteal callus and osteogenesis at the fracture focus are described. Illustrative cases are presented and the advantages of this technique are discussed. It is emphasized that ultrasonography is a noninvasive technique that may be repeated as often as is necessary. It provides images of appositional periosteal callus much earlier than radiography, thus facilitating early evaluation of the treatment employed.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery with nickel-titanium shape memory alloy wrap bone plate versus rib periosteal internal fixation in patients with multiple rib fractures (MRF) and flail chest.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 patients with MRF and flail chest treated with thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery and internal fixation with rib fracture preservation between January 2019 and December 2022, including 54 males and 46 females, aged from 20 to 65 years old, with an average age of (38.0±18.
Effects of Bisphosphonates on Osteotomy Healing in Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A Case Series.

Introduction: Bisphosphonates have become the standard drugs for the medical management of patients with moderate-to-severe forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). This study was undertaken to study the effect of parenteral pamidronate or oral alendronate therapy, on bone healing after osteotomies in patients with moderately severe forms (Sillence type 4) of OI.
Materials And Methodology: We retrospectively evaluated the effects of bisphosphonate therapy on the healing of seven osteotomies in five patients of OI (Sillence type 4) who underwent Sofield Millar procedure for deformity correction and non-union of long bone fractures.
Rapid assessment of the osteogenic capacity of hydroxyapatite/aragonite using a murine tibial periosteal ossification model.

Biomaterials are widely used as orthopaedic implants and bone graft substitutes. We aimed to develop a rapid osteogenic assessment method using a murine tibial periosteal ossification model to evaluate the bone formation/remodelling potential of a biomaterial within 2-4 weeks. A novel hydroxyapatite/aragonite (HAA) biomaterial was implanted into C57BL/6 mice juxtaskeletally between the tibia and tibialis anterior muscle.

Understanding how aging affects fracture healing is essential for developing therapies to enhance bone regeneration in older adults. During the inflammatory phase of fracture healing, immune cells are recruited to the injury site as periosteal skeletal stem/progenitor cells (pSSPCs) rapidly proliferate and differentiate into osteochondral lineages, allowing for fibrocartilaginous callus formation and complete bone healing.

Article Synopsis
- - The study tackles the significant issue of bone and joint infections by introducing a unique treatment method that combines local exosome and antibiotic delivery using a hydroxyapatite-based nanocement to fill spaces left after infection removal.
- - Researchers created a special antioxidant herbal membrane that encourages the regeneration of periosteum, which is crucial for bone healing, and showed that their scaffolds are safe for the body and effectively fight bacteria.
- - In experiments using a rat model of osteomyelitis, the treatment not only eradicated residual bacteria but also enhanced bone healing, showing a threefold increase in bone volume and complete formation of periosteal layers, indicating successful bone repair.
