Journal ArticleDOI
Bone Regeneration Based on Tissue Engineering Conceptions — A 21st Century Perspective
Jan Henkel,Maria A. Woodruff,Devakara R. Epari,Roland Steck,Vaida Glatt,Ian C. Dickinson,Peter F. M. Choong,Michael Schuetz,Dietmar W. Hutmacher +8 more
TL;DR: Bone Tissue Engineering has been the topic of substantial research over the past two decades as mentioned in this paper, and recent advances in the development of biomaterials have provided attractive alternatives to bone grafting expanding the surgical options for restoring the form and function of injured bone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The challenge of establishing preclinical models for segmental bone defect research.
Johannes C. Reichert,Siamak Saifzadeh,Siamak Saifzadeh,Martin Wullschleger,Devakara R. Epari,Michael A. Schütz,Georg N. Duda,Hanna Schell,Martijn van Griensven,Heinz Redl,Dietmar W. Hutmacher +10 more
TL;DR: The author expresses his opinion on methodologies to establish preclinical critically sized, segmental bone defect models used in past research with reference to surgical techniques, fixation methods and postoperative management focusing on tibial fracture and segmental defect models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Tissue Engineering Solution for Segmental Defect Regeneration in Load-Bearing Long Bones
Johannes C. Reichert,Amaia Cipitria,Devakara R. Epari,Siamak Saifzadeh,Pushpanjali Krishnakanth,Arne Berner,Arne Berner,Maria A. Woodruff,Hanna Schell,Manav Mehta,Michael Schuetz,Georg N. Duda,Dietmar W. Hutmacher +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the gold standard autograft with biodegradable composite scaffolds consisting of medical-grade polycaprolactone and tricalcium phosphate combined with autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (rhBMP-7).
Journal ArticleDOI
The course of bone healing is influenced by the initial shear fixation stability.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided evidence that the course of healing is influenced by the initial fixation stability, and that decreased fixation stability characterised by an increased shear interfragmentary movement results in a delay in healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timely fracture-healing requires optimization of axial fixation stability.
TL;DR: A clear relationship between the stability of fixation and the mechanical strength of the healing tibia was seen and moderate levels of axial stability were associated with the highest callus strength and stiffness.
