This document discusses biologic treatments for osteoarthritis (OA), including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate (BMC). It notes that 27 million US adults currently have OA, and the number is expected to increase dramatically by 2030 due to an aging population. PRP involves concentrating platelets from a patient's own blood above baseline levels to release growth factors, and has shown potential to reduce inflammation in chondrocytes. However, PRP preparation protocols vary greatly between studies. BMC involves concentrating stem and progenitor cells from bone marrow, but studies on its use for OA are limited and heterogeneous. The document concludes that while cellular therapies show promise, they remain at an early proof of concept stage
1) Modern antiretroviral treatment has increased life expectancy for HIV-positive patients, resulting in more presenting for elective and emergency orthopaedic surgery.
2) HIV-positive patients can experience various musculoskeletal manifestations including bone disorders, joint diseases, myopathies, and neoplasms. Common conditions include osteomyelitis, osteonecrosis, septic arthritis, and Kaposi sarcoma.
3) Outcomes for procedures like joint replacements and fracture treatments in HIV-positive patients have been found to be comparable to HIV-negative patients when considering infection and complication rates, with some increased risk for certain patient subgroups or procedures. Overall management requires consideration of individual factors like CD4 count and viral load
Metals have a long history of use in orthopaedics for fracture fixation and joint replacement implants. Commonly used implant metals include stainless steel, titanium alloys, and cobalt-based alloys. Each has advantages like strength and corrosion resistance, but also disadvantages such as toxicity, cost or stress shielding effects. Complications can arise like infection, corrosion, fatigue failure, and stress shielding that degrade the implant or bone over time. Advances in newer metals aim to further improve biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and bone integration for successful long-term orthopaedic implants.
This document provides an overview of biomaterials used in orthopaedics. It begins with objectives of discussing properties of commonly used biomaterials and giving an introduction to basic biomaterial science. The introduction defines biomaterials and discusses their early history and qualities needed for biomedical applications. Commonly used biomaterials are then categorized as metals, polymers, and ceramics. Metallic biomaterials discussed include stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, titanium alloys, and the newer tantalum. Key properties like mechanical behavior, strength, corrosion, and structural characteristics are reviewed for understanding biomaterial selection and performance.
Bone plates are used to stabilize fractures and allow healing. There are several types of plates that serve different purposes: protection plates neutralize forces to protect fractures fixed with lag screws, compression plates apply tension to achieve compression at the fracture site, bridge plates span multifragmentary fractures without disturbing the fracture, and buttress/antiglide plates resist forces perpendicular to the axis of deformity. More recently, locking plates have been developed that use locked screws to provide stability without compressing the bone, reducing stress shielding and risk of infection compared to conventional plates.
Ligamentotaxis principle in the treatment of intra articular fractures of dis...Sitanshu Barik
This study assessed the correlation between radiological outcomes and functional outcomes in 45 patients treated with external fixation for intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. Good or acceptable restoration of radial length and palmar slope on radiographs post-operatively was found to produce good to excellent functional results regardless of fracture type. While poor radiological outcomes did not always lead to poor function, maintenance of radial length and correction of palmar tilt were important for functional outcomes. The study concluded that achieving good function is more important than surgical precision on radiographs alone.
This document summarizes recent advances in the management of periprosthetic infection. It discusses the definition and criteria for diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), challenges in diagnosis, and diagnostic markers including serum markers like CRP, ESR, D-dimer, and synovial markers like alpha-defensin and synovial fluid IL-6 and IL-8 levels. Molecular diagnostic methods like polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing are also discussed as culture-independent techniques to aid diagnosis. The conclusion emphasizes that PJI diagnosis remains challenging due to the complex nature of implant-related infections.
The document discusses the basic principles of internal fixation for fractures. It describes the two types of bone healing - primary healing which requires rigid fixation, and secondary healing which involves callus formation. It provides examples of techniques for rigid fixation using plates and screws versus semi-rigid fixation using wires or casts that allow callus formation. Key concepts covered include the use of compression through lag screws or dynamic compression plates to promote primary healing.

Use of local antibiotic depot (stimulan)mangalparihar
This document discusses local antibiotic delivery using Stimulan, a synthetic calcium sulfate hemihydrate. It begins by introducing Dr. Mangal Parihar and describing his credentials. It then discusses Stimulan's advantages over traditional calcium sulfate forms, including its purity, pH, and ability to elute antibiotics at high concentrations over an extended period. Studies showing Stimulan's ability to elute antibiotics like moxifloxacin, fusidic acid, and daptomycin at levels above the MIC for pathogens like MRSA are summarized. The document concludes by describing Stimulan's potential benefits for treating bone infections by providing sustained, high local antibiotic levels directly at the site of infection.
Locking plates work by converting axial loads into compressive stresses at the screw-bone interface. This increases fixation strength and prevents hardware failure, especially in osteoporotic bone. Locking plates provide stability for early motion while protecting blood supply, aiding fracture healing. Key advantages over conventional plates are increased axial and angular stability with less dependence on bone quality. Proper technique requires initial fracture reduction before plate fixation with a combination of locking and conventional screws. Over-rigid constructs with too many screws can impair healing and cause nonunion.
Chondrolysis is the progressive destruction of articular cartilage resulting in joint space narrowing and stiffness. It can be caused by infection, trauma, following slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), or idiopathically. In SCFE cases, chondrolysis risk is higher with osteotomy or casting versus percutaneous pinning. The accepted theory is that chondrolysis results from an autoimmune response in genetically susceptible individuals. Treatment involves supportive care, identifying potential causes like pin penetration, and surgery like traction or hip replacement for severe cases.
This document discusses biodegradable implants and their use in orthopedic surgery. It provides details on:
- Common biodegradable materials used like PGA, PLLA, PDLLA which degrade over time in the body from 1-6 months.

2) Classification systems include the Rüedi-Allgöwer system (based on articular displacement/comminution) and the AO/OTA system (which further subdivides based on extra-articular involvement and comminution).
3) Treatment involves restoring tibial alignment, stabilizing the fracture to facilitate union,
Evolution and generation of orthopaedic implantsVikashJha79
The document discusses the history of fracture treatment and implant materials in orthopedics. It describes some of the earliest examples of fracture management in Egypt using splinting. It then outlines the early uses of various metal wires, screws, plates and other implants for internal fixation dating back to the 1800s and pioneers like Lane, Lambotte and AO. Key developments discussed include the introduction of stainless steel, compression plate technology, locking plates and screws, and biological osteosynthesis principles.
Teriparatide (brand name Forteo) is a form of parathyroid hormone that stimulates new bone formation. It is the only osteoporosis drug approved to build new bone.
The document discusses how teriparatide works by activating osteoblasts through intermittent exposure to parathyroid hormone. This leads to increased bone mineral density, especially in the spine and hip. Clinical trials showed teriparatide reduced the risk of vertebral fractures by 65% and nonvertebral fractures by 53% compared to placebo.
Teriparatide is recommended for patients with severe osteoporosis who have failed or cannot tolerate bisphosphonate therapy. It may also be used off-label to
1) Bone and joint infections are difficult to treat due to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on implants which impairs the host immune response. Clindamycin inhibits bacterial adhesion and penetrates biofilms.
2) Clindamycin is effective against common orthopedic pathogens like Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. It remains active against antibiotic-resistant strains like MRSA.
3) Clindamycin reduces osteolysis and is bactericidal against intracellular bacteria that evade other antibiotics, helping treat chronic and relapsing infections.
This document discusses biomaterials used in orthopaedics and their properties. It begins by defining biomaterials and biomechanics. It then discusses the mechanical properties of materials like stress, strain, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Common biomaterials used in orthopaedics like stainless steel, titanium alloys, cobalt-chrome alloys, PMMA, UHMWPE and ceramics are described along with their properties and uses. Modes of failure for biomaterials like corrosion, fatigue and wear are also summarized.
This document discusses the history and development of the Ilizarov fixator for limb lengthening. Some key points:
- Previous methods from the 1940s-1960s by Anderson and Wagner were crude, requiring multiple invasive surgeries and resulting in many complications.
- Soviet physician Gavriil Ilizarov in the 1940s-50s pioneered a circular external fixator made of thin wires that could gradually and safely lengthen limbs using the body's natural bone regeneration, establishing the biological principles still used today.
- His method reduced complications and made limb lengthening a reliable procedure to treat many causes of limb length discrepancies and shortening.
Unicondylar knee replacement (UKA) is a less invasive procedure than total knee replacement that replaces only the damaged or arthritic parts of one compartment of the knee. UKA aims to resurface the diseased compartment without altering knee joint kinematics by preserving the cruciate ligaments. UKA is indicated for isolated uni-compartmental osteoarthritis with pain localized to one side and intact ligaments. Contraindications include osteoarthritis in both compartments and an absent ACL. Proper technique during UKA involves avoiding overcorrection and preventing tibial spine impingement. Advantages include preserving normal knee function while allowing for quicker recovery, but disadvantages include potential secondary degeneration and loosening requiring conversion to total
Hip resurfacing is an option for young and active patients with hip disease that allows for greater movement and reduced pain compared to traditional hip replacements. It involves reshaping the femoral head and inserting a metal cap, while cementing a metal socket in the pelvis. Hip resurfacing aims to give patients freedom of movement without pain and prevent future hip problems, while also providing an extended treatment option for young patients who may outlive a traditional hip replacement.
This document discusses tension band principles for fracture fixation. It begins with an outline of the topics to be covered, which include the biomechanics of tension banding, indications, preoperative principles, intraoperative principles, postoperative care, complications, and conclusions. The document then goes into further detail on each topic. It explains that tension banding works by converting distraction forces on the fracture line into compressive forces. It provides examples of fractures that are suitable for tension band fixation and discusses surgical techniques like reduction, fixation with wires and screws, and post-operative rehabilitation protocols.
Bone plates are internal splints that hold together fractured bone ends. Various plate designs have been developed to provide stable fixation while preserving blood supply to the bone. The locking compression plate (LCP) allows both conventional plating and angular stable fixation via locking screws. LCPs are contoured to minimize contact with bone to avoid disrupting blood supply. Plates can be used for compression, neutralization, buttressing, or as a tension band to stabilize bone fractures.
This document discusses the principles of internal fracture fixation according to the AO foundation. It covers the historical background of internal fixation techniques dating back to the late 19th century pioneers. The key principles of internal fixation are outlined as anatomical reduction, stable fixation, preservation of blood supply, and early mobilization. Various internal fixation devices, techniques, and their functions are described in detail including plates, screws, intramedullary nails. Factors such as fracture pattern, bone quality, and soft tissue injury that influence the choice of implants are also discussed.
The document discusses nonunion fractures, including definitions, classifications, causes, investigations, and treatment options. A nonunion occurs when both endosteal and periosteal callus formation fails, leaving the fracture without signs of healing. Treatment depends on the type of nonunion and can involve nonoperative options like bracing or bone stimulators, or operative options like bone grafting, internal or external fixation, with the goal of achieving fracture healing.
Cartilage injuries have limited healing potential due to lack of blood supply. Management involves conservative or surgical options depending on severity. Conservative options include rest, bracing and medications. Surgical options include debridement for partial tears or stimulation of healing for full thickness tears using microfracture, drilling or abrasion. Larger defects may be treated with osteochondral transplantation or cell-based therapies like ACI which harvest and grow the patient's own cartilage cells. Proper rehabilitation is important for all treatments to promote healing and prevent further damage.
Men in the lower third of muscular strength had higher rates of mortality than those in the middle or upper thirds. A study of over 3,000 women with breast cancer found that low muscle mass and quality were associated with higher mortality. Older age is a major risk factor for poor outcomes from influenza, COVID-19, and critical illness due to the impacts of aging on muscle loss and frailty. Fortetropin has been shown to increase muscle mass and strength in humans and prevent disuse muscle atrophy in dogs after surgery.

Breast cancer a focus on bone health integrityMohamed Abdulla
This document summarizes information about bone health and integrity in the context of breast cancer. It discusses how breast cancer commonly spreads to bone, causing skeletal-related events like fractures. It notes that bone-targeted therapies like bisphosphonates and denosumab can help prevent these events by inhibiting bone resorption. Clinical trials show these drugs reduce the risk of skeletal complications when used adjuvantly or for metastatic breast cancer in bone. The document thus emphasizes the importance of bone health for breast cancer patients and the role of anti-resorptive therapies.
A 13-year-old boy presented with 4 months of right knee pain. Radiographs, bone scan, CT scan, and biopsy were performed. The most likely diagnosis based on the imaging and biopsy is Ewing's sarcoma. Ewing's sarcoma commonly presents in long bones of adolescents with pain and is an aggressive round cell tumor that typically affects the metaphysis of long bones. The imaging and biopsy are consistent with this diagnosis.
This guideline provides recommendations for the perioperative management of antirheumatic medications in patients with rheumatic diseases undergoing elective total hip or knee arthroplasty. A panel reviewed evidence and developed 7 conditional recommendations based on low to moderate quality evidence. The recommendations address continuing, withholding, and restarting disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, biologics, tofacitinib, and glucocorticoids in the perioperative period. The goal is to help clinicians and patients make decisions about medication management around the time of surgery to potentially reduce infection risk while maintaining disease control.
This document discusses challenges that can arise after starting treatment for osteoporosis, including motivating patients to adhere to their medication regimen and monitoring them to ensure benefits are achieved. It also reviews evidence on how adherence impacts outcomes and strategies to improve adherence through patient education, communication, and nurse monitoring. Biomarkers like bone mineral density and bone turnover markers are discussed as tools to monitor treatment response, but they have limitations in clinical practice.
The document discusses Abbott's bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting stent and its potential advantages over drug-eluting stents. It proposes a clinical trial to test the bioabsorbable stent in diabetic patients to demonstrate improved safety and efficacy compared to drug-eluting stents in a high risk population. Quantitative analyses estimate the cost-effectiveness and return on investment of the bioabsorbable stent if thrombosis and revascularization rates are reduced compared to drug-eluting stents.
This document discusses osteoarthritis (OA) and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for OA. It provides an overview of OA, including pathogenesis, risk factors, and current treatment approaches. It then discusses MSCs and their potential therapeutic application for OA, including how MSCs may suppress immune response and inflammation in OA joints. The document notes some safety issues with MSC therapy but also clinical studies showing benefits of MSC treatment for pain relief and functional improvement in OA patients. It describes methods of obtaining MSCs from bone marrow and adipose tissue and regulatory guidelines for preparing cell products in Taiwan.

This document provides information from GrassrootsHealth on vitamin D research and dosing recommendations. It includes the following:
- A summary of studies showing reductions in disease incidence as vitamin D levels increase from 25 to over 60 ng/ml. Many diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease showed reductions of over 30% at levels of 40 ng/ml or higher.
- Charts showing the wide range of serum vitamin D levels achieved at different daily supplemental intake amounts, based on data from over 7,000 participants. Intakes of 4000 IU/day resulted in levels from 20-120 ng/ml, demonstrating individual variability.
- Recommendations that total daily vitamin D intake of around 12,000 IU
The document discusses how clinical decision making can be informed by predictive models derived from large datasets that analyze factors like a patient's medical history, functional status, and biomarkers to estimate health outcomes and risks. It provides examples of studies that have developed tools to predict post-operative complications, chemotherapy toxicity, and life expectancy based on comorbidities and functional status. The document also considers how advances in data collection through technologies like wearables and sensors could generate even larger datasets to improve prediction models used in clinical practice.

OA is a common and debilitating disease that affects 27 million people in the US. Given an aging population, the prevalence and costs associated with OA are projected to increase. Forecasts indicate that by year 2030, 25% of population or nearly 67M people will have OA.
You can see here how the incidence of OA increase with age in all different regions of the world. In male the most prevalent is in those patients belonging from developing countries in both male and females. As you can see here prevalence is higher in females. OA increase health care expenditure dramatically by 185 billion/year and women account for almost two thirds of these expenditures.
An one of the reason why OA continues to raise is that this disease goes unnoticed until the disease has progressed significantly. OA, should be considered an organ failure where normal homeostasis cannot be maintained.
And this graphic is a
The OA is a disease that take multiple years to develop. For this reason, pre OA “must exist” representing the long term transition from normal healthy cartilage to ostearthritic cartilage.
As you can see here joint health depends upon the interplay over time between three broad categories of factors: biology, mechanics and structure and these factors do not generate or prevent disease in isolation. Rather a continuously shifting balance of these factores over time ultimately determines whether joint health is maintained or whether joint shifts into high risk pre OA state.
In a system with no risk factors has a high probability of maintaining a healthy joint or homeostasis if you cranck activity over time since the biological, mechanical and structural components of the system consistently fall into a nice envelope. BUT when there are risk factors in the system, that could be: FAI, DDH, ACL etc this homeostasis envelope will not be able to be maintained with the joint is loaded with activity
The slot machine metaphor emphasizes the randomness of the system as well as its responsiveness to factors that are known to increase the OA risk.
Already Ganz in 1991, suggested that the acetabular rim syndrome was a syndrome secondary to dysplasia and was the precursor or OA in the hip
Sierra study: they identified 755 who had received a THR and had a contralateral hip without any radiographic evidence of hip disease and followed up on them during 10 years. They included 122 patients ( DDH-FAI-and normal hips). Degeneration occured earlier in patients with morphological abnormalities including FAI and DDH
Steoroids should be incorporated in clinical practice only as a short term relief therapy
PRP and BMAC fall under the category of minimally manipulated tissue as an autologous blood product is easier to use utilize clinically without extensive testing in preclinical or clinical data.
Based on different relative density, sediment rate, and size blood components can be separated by centrifuge force is applied.
The rationale behind PRP, is that platelets is that a group of bioactive molecules that platelet release ultimate promote healing of the damaged tissue and modulates inflammation.
95% of GFs are secreted within 1 hour after activation
Biological half-life depends on growth factors
30 minutes to 7.6 hours
Therefore, some authors have proposed serial, PRP injections to increase the benefits of its application
Multiple injections increase the risk for adverse effects
The first spin involves a soft spin obtaining the three layers: plasma, BC and the RBC. A second hard spin is then applied
LP significantly better for OA than HA. LR no difference compared to HA
They compare 51 studies with prospective or retrospective data where they used PRP for the treatment of different muskulosletal conditions. There was a high variability in processing characteristics, including anticoagulant, spinning, centrifuge machines. Most of the studies did not report on a second spin. The activation method to induce platelet degranulation and release of GF was reported in 43 studies,
Stem cells and progenitors cells are present in adult tissue and are critical to tissue health, maintenance and response to injury.
Stem cells give rise to progenitors cells and are distinguished from progenitors cells with their capacity of self renewal. In contrast, progenitors cells proliferate and expand in numbers. CTP have been identified as the heterogeneous group of stem cells and progenitor cells present in native tissue and can be activated to proliferate and genere progeny that can differentiate into 1 or more connective tissue..The amount of stem cells and progenitor cells that a tissue have varies and can be estimated in culture through the CTP.
Since there are no specific markers for CTP, so as a result the concentration, biological potential of CTP in given cell population can be only estimated using in vitro CFU assay. As you can see here, the osteogenic capacity is different for each CTP as shown by different intensity of color in the assay.
Stem cells is not a CTP: The
Distribution of average cost of stem cell therapies marketed to consumers. The red one is over 7000, orange between 6000 and 7000, yellow is 4000 and 5000 and pale is less than 3000
In this review. We considered for inclusion articles where clinical outcomes were reported for intra articular cell therapy in the human knee with a minimum of 12 month
Coleman methodology is based on part A that evaluates the study size, mean follow up, number of different surgical procedures, type of study and description of surgical procedures, post operative rehab and MRI and histo. Part B evaluates outcomes criteria, procedure for assessing clinical outcomes, subject selection. Maximum score is 100 in which indicates that a study largely avoids chances, biases and confounding factors. We were able to include 6 studies (3 for focal chondral and 3 for OA),
The use of stem cell therapy in the USA has expanded rapidly in the USA. However, despite extensive marketing and use of cells based therapies, most of the evidence surrounding usa is low quality. Despite as these therapies, often masked as proven therapies, still require higher quality clinical studies to prove their efficacy as better to understand their biological functions
They hype cycle is a graphical representation to represent adoption of new technology. The maturation of new technology goes through different five phases. The technology triggers. This is when new technology kicks in. Normally is a proof of concept where stories and media are interested. Then the peak of inflated expectations: Early publicity produces a number of success stories. Then the trough of disillusionment, here interest wanes and implementation fail to deliver. The development will continue only if the surviving providers improve their product. The slope of enlightenment is when the enterprise starts to become more understood. Finally the plateau of productivity where the product is more define.
So basically, PRP is a volume of plasma with a platelet concentrations above whole blood baseline values.
The concentration is 1-3x compared to 150,000/ul and we normally say we need a concentration of 1 million platelets per ml
In 2006 it came out the first paper of PRP in orthopedics came out and it was on elbow tendinitis.
Leucocytes poor and leukocytes rich.
This is a RCT where they included 111 patients and treated them with either three txt groups. As you can see, there was no statement in terms of LP-LR. All three treatment improved patients pain with significant better improvements for the PRP.
Centrifugation characteristics stratified by body region. From a total of 105 studies that evaluated the use of PRP in muskuloeskeletal conditions, only 29 described the centrifugation and preparation technique.
we perform a systematic review on the outcome of BMAC in the treatment of OA and chondral lesions
