AI Article Synopsis
- Septic non-unions with bone necrosis are tough to manage, particularly when they lead to large defects after debridement.
- Popular treatment methods include free vascularized fibular grafts and bone transport using distraction osteogenesis, but there's limited research on applying 3D printing in these cases.
- This study introduces a new 3D printing technique for treating infected bone deficits in the tibia, while also discussing the challenges and future potential of 3D printing in limb reconstruction.
Article Abstract
The management of septic non-unions with associated bone necrosis is challenging, especially when the resulting bone defect after the debridement is extensile. Different techniques have been described in the literature for the treatment of these demanding cases, with the most prominent being free vascularized Fibular graft and bone transport with distraction osteogenesis principles. Recently, 3D printing technology has been increasingly utilized in many complex orthopaedic pathologies. However, the application of those advancements regarding septic non-unions with residual bone defect has not been previously studied. This study presents a novel 3D printing technique for the management of an infected critical bone deficit of the tibia. Queries, challenges and future perspectives concerning the recruiting of 3D printing technology in limb reconstruction are also being discussed. Clinical Evidence Level: IV.

Triplet-sensitization has been proven invaluable for creating photoswitches operated over a full visible-light spectrum. While designing efficient triplet-sensitizers is crucial for establishing visible-light photochromism, it remains an appealing yet challenging task. In this work, we propose a versatile strategy to fabricate triplet-sensitizers with intermolecular charge-transfer complexes (CTCs).
