Background: Bone fractures and fracture healing are one of the most common problems among orthopedic surgeons. In this study, we investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and carbogen (C) treatment on fracture healing in the experimental animal model.
Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar-Albino rats were randomly divided into three groups as Group 1 (C inhalation therapy), Group 2 (HBO inhalation therapy), and Group 3 (control group), with eight rats in each group. HBO and C treatment were given to the rats in Group 1 and Group 2 1 week before the surgical procedure and 3 weeks after the surgical procedure. Following the surgical procedure, all rats were killed at the end of the 3rd week and the healing tissue in the fracture line was evaluated clinically, radiologically, and histopathologically.
Results: Although there were higher histopathological, radiological, and clinical scores in the HBO and C groups in terms of frac-ture healing compared to the control group, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups.
Conclusion: There are many studies in the literature that examine the systemic and local effects of HBO and C treatments and show that they increase tissue oxygenation. Our study showed that HBO and C groups had no beneficial or harmful effects on fracture healing compared to the control group.

Introduction: There is scarce data in literature on the demographics, treatment, and outcomes of subtrochanteric femur fracture patients. This study evaluated the effect of age on injury details, perioperative and hospital parameters, and outcomes following subtrochanteric fracture fixation.
Methods: An IRB-approved review of a consecutive series of subtrochanteric femoral fractures was performed.

A 33-year-old male patient developed distal femur chronic osteomyelitis with massive bone loss after an open grade-3b fracture. Following several failed treatments to eradicate infection, a tibial turn-up procedure was performed to provide a stable and functional stump. To avoid neurovascular problems, the popliteal vessels and sciatic nerve were moved medially, and the flap was rotated externally to decrease the collapse.

Bone regeneration is a multifaceted process involving the well-coordinated interaction of cellular functions such as the regulation of inflammation, the formation of new blood vessels, and the development of bone tissue. Bone regeneration is a multifaceted process involving the well-coordinated interplay of multiple cellular activities, such as inflammation control, blood vessel and bone tissue. Zhang developed a multifunctional hydrogel system embedded with bone marrow stromal cell-derived exosomes to address the challenges of large bone defects.

Endochondral ossification (EO) is a pivotal process during fracture healing and traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO), involving the cartilaginous matrix synthesis and mineralization. Unlike the extracellular matrix, the hyaluronan (HA)-rich pericellular matrix (PCM) directly envelops chondrocytes, serving as the frontline for extracellular signal reception and undergoing dynamic remodeling. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a secreted glycoprotein, facilitates HA matrix assembly and remodeling.

Diabetes is associated with excessive inflammation, which negatively impacts the fracture healing process and delays bone repair. Previously, growing evidence indicated that activation of the nod-like receptor (NLR) family, such as nod-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome induces a vicious cycle of chronic low-grade inflammatory responses in diabetic fracture. Here, we describe the synthesis of a bone adhesive hydrogel that can be locally injected into the fracture site and releases a natural inhibitor of NLRP3 (rutin) in response to pathological cue reactive oxygen species activity (ROS).
