An Implanted Antenna System for the Monitoring of Bioresorbability of a Biocompatible Scaffold Embedded into a Bone Fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the dielectric properties of an implanted bioresorbable scaffold that is being used for the acceleration of the healing process of a fractured bone have been investigated. An implanted antenna system is presented for the monitoring of the resorption rate of the scaffold, which gives an indication on the healing process of the bone fracture. A simulation model of a three layer body phantom was used for the evaluation of the response of the system as the introduced fracture gradually healed, turning from blood to bone marrow and bone cortical in five steps.

Comparative Study of Bone Repair Using Porous Hydroxyapatite/ β-Tricalcium Phosphate and Xenograft Scaffold in Rabbits with Tibia Defect
Background: Bone tissue engineering requires materials that are biocompatible, mechanically suited for bone function, integrated with the host skeleton, and support osteoinduction of the implanted cells for new bone formation. The aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic potential of xenograft with hydroxyapatite/β- tricalcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) scaffold. Methods: New Zealand rabbits (...

The management of soft tissue defects in tibial fractures is essential for limb preservation. Current techniques are not without complications and may lead to poor functional outcomes. A salvage method is described using three illustrative cases whereby a combination of flaps and antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads are employed to fill the bony defect, fight the infection, and...

In this present study, we examined the differentiation potential of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) into hepatocytes on a three-dimentional (3D) nanofibrous scaffold formed by Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), collagen and polyethersulfone (PES). The nanofiber was prepared by the electrospining technique. HBMSCs were isolated using combining gradient density centrifugation ...
