Acute quadriceps tendon tears are infrequent injuries requiring surgical treatment. Improved stability after surgical repair may allow for earlier weight-bearing and range of motion. Therefore, a new implant was tested and compared with the “gold standard”, using transosseous sutures.Quadriceps tendon tears were constructed using a cadaveric model of 12 fresh matched-pair specimens (aged 61–97; mean...
Critical sized bone defects have to be filled with material to allow bone healing. The golden standard for this treatment is autogenous bone grafting. Because of donor size morbidity, equivalent synthetic bone scaffolds should be developed. Different materials, especially ceramics and polymers are in the focus of research. Calcium phosphate ceramics show similar properties to bone and are degradable...
Multiply injured patients are at risk of developing the systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which may involve multiple organ failure, infections/sepsis, longer hospital stay and mortality. These systemic complications have been associated with immunological changes in which several components of the immune system have been implicated. Recent studies have shown that blood transfusions may increase...
