Bioabsorbable Implants in Orthopaedics - Dr Chintan N PatelDrChintan Patel
This document discusses bioabsorbable implants used in orthopaedics. It defines bioabsorbable implants as those that gradually degrade through biological processes and are absorbed and excreted by the body. Common materials used include polyglycolic acid and polylactic acid. Bioabsorbable implants offer advantages over metallic implants by eliminating the need for removal surgery and avoiding problems like stress shielding. While offering promise, bioabsorbable implants also have drawbacks like inadequate strength and stiffness. Future areas of development include implants that degrade at medium time periods and ability to deliver drugs locally.

Contraindications and postoperative care are also mentioned.
A 16-year-old boy presented with recurrent patellar dislocations while playing soccer. On examination, he had tenderness around the patella, decreased range of motion, and a positive patellar apprehension test. An MRI showed widening of the medial femoral condyle physis, consistent with a chronic stress injury from repetitive trauma. Treatment options included bracing, physical therapy, and protected weight bearing to allow healing of the physis. Surgical options like tibial tubercle anteromedialization or MPFL reconstruction were not required given the MRI findings suggested a chronic injury rather than an acute tear or malalignment.
1. The document discusses various types of osteotomies performed around the hip joint to correct deformities and improve biomechanics. It describes pelvic osteotomies like Pemberton, Salter, and Ganz osteotomies which reorient the acetabulum.
2. Femoral osteotomies discussed include varus, valgus, and rotational osteotomies. Varus osteotomies elevate the greater trochanter medially to improve joint congruity. Valgus, or abduction osteotomies, tilt the distal fragment away from the midline to increase femoral neck angle.
3. The principles, indications, techniques and outcomes of
This document provides detailed information about the anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It describes the ACL's embryology, histology, blood supply, nerve supply, measurements, biomechanics, and variations. It discusses ACL injuries and reconstruction procedures. Key points include that the ACL attaches to oval footprints on the femur and tibia, has a spiral arrangement that allows it to tuck under the intercondylar notch, and is most commonly reconstructed using a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft.
Dr. Paudel discussed bone graft substitutes, which are used to fill bone defects and promote healing. They discussed various types including allografts, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Allografts have disadvantages like immune reactions and disease transmission. Ceramics are osteoconductive but not structural. Composites combining materials like ceramics, cells, and growth factors may provide better fusion than any component alone. The ideal bone graft substitute would be osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and provide structural support like autografts, but without their disadvantages.

Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is a rare condition characterized by the destruction of articular cartilage in the hip of unknown cause, mainly affecting adolescent females. It presents with insidious hip, thigh, or knee pain and radiographic evidence of joint space narrowing. While the etiology is unknown, theories include abnormal cartilage metabolism triggered by an environmental event, abnormal intra-articular pressure, or mechanical insult to the cartilage. Treatment focuses on NSAIDs, protected weight bearing, range of motion exercises, and in some cases surgery such as distraction arthroplasty or arthroplasty.
This document discusses congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT), a rare condition where the tibia fails to heal after fractures at an early age. CPT is often associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. The etiology is unclear but is thought to involve periosteal fibrosis. Imaging can help evaluate the extent of disease. Surgical treatment aims to achieve union, prevent refracture, and correct deformities. Common approaches include intramedullary nailing, vascularized fibular grafting, and external fixation. Prognosis remains poor due to risks of nonunion, refracture, limb length discrepancy, and ankle deformity. Close long-term monitoring is needed.
Distal femur fractures involve the femoral condyles and nearby bone. They are commonly caused by high-energy trauma and can also occur from low-energy falls in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Diagnosis involves x-rays and sometimes CT or angiography. Fractures are classified by several systems to guide treatment, which may involve traction, casting, external fixation, or open reduction with plates or nails to restore alignment and stabilize the bone for healing. Complications can include pain, malunion, nonunion, infection, and issues affecting knee function.
The document discusses the history and evolution of bearing surfaces used in total hip arthroplasty. Early designs from the 1910s-1950s used materials like glass, vitallium, and acrylic, which caused issues like fragmentation, tissue reactions, and bone destruction. Modern designs include conventional and cross-linked polyethylene, metal-on-metal, ceramic-on-ceramic, and ceramic-on-metal combinations. Design characteristics like material hardness, lubrication, and wear properties were improved but each bearing surface still carries some risks like wear debris, metal ions, fracture, or noise. Future directions include advanced polyethylenes and larger metal-on-metal designs to reduce wear. No single ideal bearing exists and patient factors help

Triple arthrodesis is a surgical fusion of the subtalar, calcaneocuboid, and talonavicular joints to provide hindfoot stability and alignment and relieve pain. It is used to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, neglected clubfoot, poliomyelitis, and tarsal coalition. The Lambrinudi procedure is used for severe clubfoot and involves wedge resections of the calcaneum, talus, and navicular followed by fixation with K-wires, staples or screws. Postoperatively, the limb is immobilized for 6 weeks followed by ankle-foot orthosis use and weight bearing
Teriparatide is a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone (PTH) that stimulates bone growth and increases bone mineral density, making it effective for treating osteoporosis. It works by activating osteoblasts more than osteoclasts, resulting in a net increase in new bone formation. While teriparatide is more effective at increasing bone mineral density and reducing fractures than bisphosphonates, its major limitation is its high cost of approximately 3 lakh rupees for treatment. It is generally reserved for cases of severe or refractory osteoporosis due to its prohibitive expense.
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.
The document discusses the titanium elastic nailing system (TENS) used to treat fractures in children. TENS involves the use of flexible titanium nails inserted into the medullary canal. It is primarily used for diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures in children ages 3-15. The appropriate use of TENS depends on considering the child's age as well as the type and location of the fracture. TENS provides stability while allowing bending and early ambulation.
The document discusses various bone graft substitutes including allograft based, growth factor based, cell based, ceramic based, and polymer based substitutes. It provides details on the composition, properties, and clinical applications of different substitutes. Allografts use donor bone while growth factors and cells aim to stimulate new bone growth. Ceramic materials like hydroxyapatite are osteoconductive and some bioactive glasses can bond directly with bone. The ideal graft substitute should be biocompatible, bioresorbable, osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and structurally similar to bone.

This document discusses osteoporosis, including its causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It defines osteoporosis as a condition where low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue lead to fragile bones that break easily. Key tests for diagnosis include bone mineral density testing and blood tests. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to slow bone loss such as bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators, parathyroid hormone, and monoclonal antibodies. Surgical treatment aims to stabilize fractures from fragile bones through minimally invasive techniques.
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength and increased fracture risk. It is common, resulting in significant costs, morbidity, and mortality. Healthcare professionals should identify those at high risk for screening via DXA scan or FRAX assessment. Those at high fracture risk should be treated individually with proven medications like bisphosphonates that are generally safe and effective in reducing fractures. Ongoing monitoring and lifestyle management are also important to maintain strong, healthy bones.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure. It increases bone fragility and risk of fractures. Primary types include postmenopausal osteoporosis in women over 50 and senile osteoporosis in those over 70. Treatment focuses on preventing bone loss and increasing bone mass. First line drugs are bisphosphonates like alendronate and risedronate. Second line includes selective estrogen receptor modulators like raloxifene. Non-pharmacological prevention focuses on calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercise.
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fractures. It is most common in postmenopausal women. Risk factors include smoking, low body weight, steroid use, excess alcohol intake, and family history of fractures. Diagnosis involves measuring bone mineral density via DEXA scan. Treatment aims to prevent fractures and bone loss, and includes adequate calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing exercise, falls prevention, pharmacologic agents like bisphosphonates, and surgery for fractures. Regular screening and monitoring of at-risk individuals is important.
This document discusses metabolic and endocrine bone disorders like osteoporosis. It describes how these disorders may present as bone deformities in children, fractures in elderly patients, or bone pain and fractures in those taking corticosteroids. It covers examining patients, diagnostic tests like x-rays and bone density scans, biochemical tests, and bone biopsies. Risk factors, features, and treatments of postmenopausal osteoporosis are outlined, along with secondary causes of osteoporosis from endocrine, respiratory, metabolic, gastrointestinal, and other conditions. Prevention and treatment aim to reduce future fracture risk through medications or surgery.
This document discusses the pharmacotherapy of osteoporosis. It describes various classes of drugs used to treat osteoporosis including antiresorptive agents like bisphosphonates, SERMs, denosumab, and calcitonin as well as the bone anabolic agent teriparatide. Specific bisphosphonate drugs discussed include alendronate, risedronate, ibandronate, and zoledronate. The mechanisms of action, indications, dosing, and side effects of these agents are provided.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and more likely to break. It occurs when the body loses more bone than it forms, reducing bone density and bone mass. Key risk factors include a family history of osteoporosis, being Caucasian or Asian, smoking, excessive alcohol use, and low body weight. Diagnosis relies on bone mineral density tests to determine a T-score. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise and nutrition, as well as medications to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.
This document discusses the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. It defines osteoporosis as a disease characterized by low bone density and deterioration of bone tissue, causing increased fragility and risk of fractures from low-impact falls. Several treatments for osteoporosis are discussed, including hormone therapy, SERMs like raloxifene, bisphosphonates like alendronate, and PTH analogs like teriparatide. These treatments have been shown to increase bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and hip and reduce the risk of fractures to varying degrees. Lifestyle modifications including adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, exercise, smoking cessation, and fall prevention are also recommended to help manage oste
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fractures. It occurs when bone resorption by osteoclasts exceeds bone formation by osteoblasts. Risk factors include age, gender, genetics, smoking, alcohol, obesity, low vitamin D, and medications like corticosteroids. It is diagnosed using DEXA scans and managed through lifestyle changes, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, and pharmacological therapies like bisphosphonates, strontium, raloxifene, teriparatide, calcitonin, and denosumab. Emerging therapies target mechanisms like cathepsin K, sclerost
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures. Key points:
- It is defined as a bone density 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean bone density of healthy young adults.
- It occurs more frequently with age and is more common in women, especially after menopause due to estrogen loss.
- Risk factors include family history, smoking, low weight, inactivity, excessive alcohol, and certain medical conditions or medications.
- It is usually asymptomatic until a fracture occurs. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, and medications to increase bone density
This document discusses osteoporosis, which is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. It affects many post-menopausal women, with 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 women over 50 developing osteoporosis-related fractures. The document outlines prevalence, pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis using BMD tests and algorithms, and prevention through lifestyle changes, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, and treatment options including bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and PTH therapies. The key messages are that osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood and maintaining a bone healthy lifestyle throughout life.

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure, making bones fragile and prone to fractures. Key drugs used to treat osteoporosis include calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, SERMs, calcitonin, PTH and teriparatide, and denosumab. Newer drugs under development include romosozumab, a sclerostin inhibitor that strongly increases bone mineral density, abaloparatide, and integrin antagonists. Non-drug approaches also show promise such as biomaterials and gut serotonin inhibitors.
