To close extensive infected wounds and to replace long bone defects, along with other methods a method of graded tissue strain (GTS) has been developed and introduced into practice (246 patients). The method differs from all others in that it requires no transfer of elaborate flaps while replacing soft tissue defects; and no graft or foreign body is introduced externally into the wound in replacing long bone defect. Soft tissue defect is gradually replaced by wound-adjacent intrinsic tissues, the wound is closed by related skin and bone defect is filled by an osseous regenerate which is formed during graded transposition of the osteotomized fragment. At the same time good blood supply and tissue innervation retain, which contributes to their resistance to purulent infection. The analysis of the findings has led to the conclusion that GTS is an indispensible contribution to the development of plastic purulent surgery allowing the anatomic and functional integrity of the diseased segment to be restored.

Background: In order to increase the stability of tibial component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), intramedullary stem extensions (SE) have been developed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to address the critical knowledge gap on post-operative outcomes and complications rate comparison between tibial component with SE compared to the tibial component standard configuration (SC) in primary cemented TKA.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of online databases, including Pubmed, Embase, ISI Web of science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus, using the following MeSH terms, (total knee arthroplasty) OR (TKA) OR (total knee replacement) AND (Tibial stem) OR (stem extension) OR (long stem).

Introduction: orthopedic device-associated infections (ODI) are considered surgical site infections (SSI). SSIs are generally attributed to contamination during surgery, but they require certain factors for their development. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors for the development of SSIs in patients with closed fractures.

Introduction And Importance: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common benign bone tumor, mostly affecting young adults. Since it often develops in long bones, OO is rarely considered as a cause of chronic shoulder pain.

Case Presentation: We treated an 8-year-old boy with ongoing shoulder pain that was worse at night but improved with NSAIDs.

Chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis and liver failure, remain formidable challenges due to their complex progression and limited therapeutic options. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has emerged as a game-changing approach, leveraging its potent immunomodulatory, anti-fibrotic, and regenerative capabilities, along with the ability to transdifferentiate into hepatocytes. This review delves into the latest advances in MSC-based treatments for chronic and end-stage liver diseases, as highlighted in current clinical trials.

A functional bioink with potential in bone tissue engineering must be subjected to critical investigation throughout its intended lifespan. The aim of this study was to develop alginate-gelatin-based (Alg-Gel) multicomponent bioinks systematically and to assess the short- and long-term exposure responses of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) printed within these bioinks with and without crosslinking. The first generation of bioinks was established by incorporating a range of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), to evaluate their effect on viscosity, printability and cell viability.
