Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is widely used to treat symptomatic articular cartilage injury of the knee. Fibrin ACI is a new tissue-engineering technique for the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, in which autologous chondrocytes are inserted into a three-dimensional scaffold provided by fibrin gel. The objective of this study is to document and compare mean changes in overall clinical scores at both baseline and follow-up. Fibrin ACI was used to treat deep car

BACKGROUND: The management of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is controversial. PURPOSE: The authors describe a surgical technique involving securing the clavicle to the coracoid process using suture anchors for the treatment of acute AC joint injury. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Twenty patients were evaluated retrospectively, clinically, and radiographically, for a mean of 41.2 months. RESULTS: At last follow-up, the mean Constant score for the 20 pat

This paper describes the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles modified with polyethylenimine (PEI)-folic acid (PF) conjugate and their potential biomedical applications. Magnetic nanoparticles modified with (3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane) (AEAPS) were first prepared using a ligand exchange method to provide biocompatibility and hydrophilicity, and further conjugated with PF to carry gene and enhance specific uptake into cancer cells. We demonstrated the feasibility of the multifun

BACKGROUND: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a treatment option for patients with severe osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, or massive rotator cuff tear with pseudoparalysis. We are to deduce not only the early functional outcomes and complications of cementless RTSA during the learning curve period but also complication-based, and operation time-based learning curve of RTSA. METHODS: Between March 2010 and February 2014, we retrospectively evaluated 38 shoulders (6 male, 32

No discrepancy was found in radiological and clinical outcomes between IMN and MIPO for tibial shaft fractures. It can be concluded that both IMN and MIPO are equally effective treatment modalities for tibial shaft fractures.
