TL;DR: It is concluded here that the inflammatory activity on cellular and humoral levels at fracture sites of immunologically restricted patients considerably exceeds that of control patients.

TL;DR: It would appear that combined IGF-I/TGF-ß1 application yields equivalent results to BMP-2 application at an early time point in anterior sheep cervical spine fusion.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the field needs to move forward to not only optimize scaffolds to avoid implant failures but to improve their mechano-biological behaviour: providing an initial stimulus for fast tissue organisation and healing and accounting for remodelling, scaffold degradation and consecutive filling with host tissue.

TL;DR: Reduced mechanical osseointegration of SGBG coated implants could be explained histologically by a foreign body reaction surrounding the implants.

TL;DR: Dynamic pedography during level walking and while descending stairs is a valuable tool for monitoring the rehabilitation process after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and assessment of the plantar pressure distribution may provide a more individualized adaptation for the rehabilitation program.
