Engineering Aspects of the Osteoarticular Reconstruction with Stem Cells. Study on Animals
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a great number of medical applications the STEM cells offer new possibilities of healing and recovery. The present study uses a number of dogs and rabbits with induced defects at the femoris condylis on the purpose of being implanted with STEM cells in the side area of the knee articulation. The 3D reconstruction of the defect area based on CT scans is presented in the paper. The process of customization and the particular implant shape for each subject are also presented in the paper. The scaffold implanted in the defect area was designed in a CAD environment and fixed on the femur of the animal with HDPE screws or Polycaprolactone nails. Key-Words: CT image, 3D reconstruction, osteoarticular reconstruction, scaffold, CAD environment, customized implant

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are mainly isolated from bone marrow or fat tissue. Because of their potential of multilineage differentiation towards bone, cartilage and fat tissue, they were initially evaluated to develop innovative strategies for tissue engineering applications. More recently, they have gained interest based on their immunomodulatory pr...

Background Cleft palate (CP) is a common congenital defect. It makes serious difficulties for cleft-affected children. The gold standard of care is autogenous bone grafting which may cause additional problems in donor site along with disappointing results. Tissue engineering is a promising solution for a widespread range of defects and disorders. It is reasonable to utilize this novel technolo...

Background Mandibular continuity defects occur after tumor resection, maxillofacial injury, or osteomyelitis. Despite the current availability of a plethora of treatment modalities, bone substitutes, and various clinical adjuncts, an exact reconstructive recapitulation of large bony defects continues to be beyond reach. In this clinical pilot study, we report a novel method for reconstruction ...

Abstract Background: Resection of the distal end of the radius is indicated in the treatment of locally aggressive primary benign and malignant bone tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the technique of osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the distal radius after wide excision of a giant-cell tumor. Methods: We analyzed 15 patients retrospectively who had reconstruction of t...
