Pre-clinical studies have shown that treatment by pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) can
limit the catabolic effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on articular cartilage and favour the …

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first-line therapy for osteoporosis. In recent years, atypical
femoral fractures (AFF) have been described in patients on BPs therapy. However, the …

Cut-out is one of the most common mechanical failures in the internal fixation of trochanteric
hip fractures. The tip-apex distance (TAD), and the calcar-referenced tip apex distance (…

Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are clinically used with beneficial effects in the
treatment of bone fracture healing. This is due to PEMF ability to favor the osteogenic …

Background Guidelines underline the importance of early surgery in elderly patients with
proximal femoral fractures. However, most of these patients present a high number of …

The use of physical stimuli to modulate osteogenetic response and favour fracture healing
has been the subject of research for many years now. Currently, 78% of hospitals in the USA …

Background Distal radial fractures are common traumatic injuries, but their management
remains controversial also in case of conservative treatment regarding the type of immobilisation…

Purpose To assess and compare the efficacy of two minimally invasive techniques (percutaneous
pedicle screw with intermediate screw vs. percutaneous pedicle screw with …

Background Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging problem, and malignant transformation is
a rare occurrence. We report a case of a patient with squamous cell carcinoma arising from …

Conventional orthopedic implants are composed from titanium. To improve some characteristics
(ie, volumetric porosity, modulus of elasticity, frictional modulus), a new porous tantalum …
