Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cements have been widely used in orthopedics; thanks to their excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and chemical stability. Barium sulfate and zirconia are usually added into PMMA bone cement to enhance the X-ray radiopacity, while the mechanical strength, radiopacity, and biocompatibility are not well improved. In this study, an insoluble and corrosion-resistant ceramic, tantalum carbide (TaC), was added into the PMMA bone cement as radiopacifies, significantly improving the mechanical, radiopaque, biocompatibility, and osteogenic performance of bone cement. The TaC-PMMA bone cement with varied TaC contents exhibits compressive strength over 100 MPa, higher than that of the commercial 30% BaSO4-PMMA bone cement. Intriguingly, when the TaC content reaches 20%, the radiopacity is equivalent to the commercial bone cement with 30% of BaSO4 in PMMA. The cytotoxicity and osteogenic performance indicate that the incorporation of TaC not only enhances the osteogenic properties of PMMA but also does not reduce cell viability. This study suggests that TaC could be a superior and multifunctional radio-pacifier for PMMA bone cement, offering a promising avenue for improving patient outcomes in orthopedic applications.

Ege D, Kamali AR. XGB Modeling Reveals Improvement of Compressive Strength of Cement-Based Composites with Addition of HPMC and Chitosan. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:374. [PMID: 38255542 PMCID: PMC10820120 DOI: 10.3390/ma17020374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the improvement in the compressive strength of cellulose/cement-based composites. Methyl cellulose (MC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPMC) are separately used as the cellulose phase with different wt%. Graphene oxide (GO) and zoledronic acid (ZOL) are used as additives for bone regeneration for various formulations. Utilizing Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) modeling, this research demonstrates the roles of the choice of the cellulose phase, wt% of cement phase, % gelatin, % citric acid, degradation time, and concentration of GO and ZOL in influencing compressive strength. The XGB regression model, with an R2 value of 0.99 (~1), shows the predictive power of the model. Feature importance analysis demonstrates the significance of cellulose choice and the addition of chitosan in enhancing compressive strength. The correlation heatmap reveals positive associations, emphasizing the positive influence of HPMC and CMC compared with MC and the substantial impact of chitosan and citric acid on compressive strength. The model's predictive accuracy is validated through predicted compressive strength values with experimental observations, providing insights for optimizing cellulose-reinforced cements and enabling tailored material design for enhanced mechanical performance.

Abstract
Magnesium phosphate bone cement has become a widely used orthopedic implant due to the advantages of fast-setting and high early strength. However, developing magnesium phosphate cement possessing applicable injectability, high strength, and biocompatibility simultaneously remains a significant challenge. Herein, we propose a strategy to develop high-performance bone cement and establish a trimagnesium phosphate cement (TMPC) system. The TMPC exhibits high early strength, low curing temperature, neutral pH, and excellent injectability, overcoming the critical limitations of recently studied magnesium phosphate cement. By monitoring the hydration pH value and electroconductivity, we demonstrate that the magnesium-to-phosphate ratio could manipulate the components of hydration products and their transformation by adjusting the pH of the system, which will influence the hydration speed. Further, the ratio could regulate the hydration network and the properties of TMPC. Moreover, in vitro studies show that TMPC has outstanding biocompatibility and bone-filling capacity. The facile preparation properties and these advantages of TMPC render it a potential clinical alternative to polymethylmethacrylate and calcium phosphate bone cement. This study will contribute to the rational design of high-performance bone cement.

Abstract
Calcium silicate cements have been greatly developed in the last decades through different approaches. Among these approaches, the inclusion of antibacterial agents or addition of metal oxides. Herein, calcium silicate cement containing fluorine (CFS) was developed from sodium fluorosilicate precursor for the first time using chemical perception method. Afterwards, metal oxide Bi2O3 or MgO or ZrO2 was individually mixed with CFS powder and blended together using Polycaprolactone polymer (PCL). The cement mixtures were characterized using DSC, XRD, FTIR and SEM/EDX to determine the effect of metal oxide on the pure CFS. Furthermore, mechanical, antibacterial and cell viability properties were evaluated for the developed CFS mixture cements. Moreover, these CFS mixture cements were implanted in male Wistar rats to determine the effect of metal oxides on the rate of bone reformation. The findings of physicochemical and morphological characterization showed no remarkable effects on the pure CFS after mixing with each metal oxide. However, enhanced compressive strengths (up to 104.07N/cm2), antibacterial activity and cell viability (up to 96%) were achieved for the CFS cement mixtures. Finally, the in vivo studies confirmed the biocompatibility of the CFS cement mixtures and especially those mixed with Bi2O3 or ZrO2. Therefore, this study supports that CFS blends with Bi2O3 or ZrO2 can be novel promising cementing materials for bone restoration.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a rapidly growing field that seeks to develop new biomaterials to regenerate bone defects. Conventional bone graft materials have limitations, such as limited availability, complication, and rejection. Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a biomaterial with the potential for bone regeneration due to its bone-contact biocompatibility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. GIC is a two-component material that adheres to the bone and releases ions that promote bone growth and mineralization. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and registered in the PROSPERO database to determine the evidence regarding the efficacy and bone-contact biocompatibility of GIC as bone cement. Out of 3715 initial results, thirteen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Two tools were employed in evaluating the Risk of Bias (RoB): the QUIN tool for assessing in vitro studies and SYRCLE for in vivo. The results indicate that GIC has demonstrated the ability to adhere to bone and promote bone growth. Establishing a chemical bond occurs at the interface between the GIC and the mineral phase of bone. This interaction allows the GIC to exhibit osteoconductive properties and promote the growth of bone tissue. GIC's bone-contact biocompatibility, ease of preparation, and cost-effectiveness make it a promising alternative to conventional bone grafts. However, further research is required to fully evaluate the potential application of GIC in bone regeneration. The findings hold implications for advancing material development in identifying the optimal composition and fabrication of GIC as a bone repair material.

Abstract
Calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)-based apatite forming bone cements are well known for their bioactivity and bioresorbability. The formulation of CDHA-based cements with improved macroporosity, injectability, and resorbability has been investigated. The solid phase consists of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). The liquid phase is diluted acetic acid with disodium hydrogen phosphate as binding accelerator along with gelatin and chitosan to improve the injectability. A porogen agent either mannitol (as solid porogen) or polysorbate (as liquid porogen) is also used to improve the porosity. All combined in fine-tuned composition results in optimal bone cements. The cement sets within the clinically preferred setting time (≤20 min) and injectability (>70%) and also stable at physiological pH (i.e., ~7.3-7.4). The XRD and FT-IR analysis confirmed the formation of CDHA phase on day 7 when the after-set cement immersed under phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at physiological conditions. The cements were found to have acceptable compressive strength for trabecular bone substitute. The cements were macroporous in nature with average pore size between 50 and 150 μm and were interconnected as confirmed by SEM, micro-CT and MIP analysis. The prepared cements are degradable up to 22% and 19% in simulated body fluid and PBS respectively within 10 weeks of immersion at physiological conditions. The cements exhibit higher viability (%) (>110%) with L929 and MG63 cells compared to the control after 3 days of incubation. They also show increased proliferation, well spreading and extended filopodia with MG63 cells. Overall, the developed apatite forming bone cements seems to be suitable for low or non-load bearing orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) and mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBG) are two well studied biomaterial groups widely under investigation on their applicability to treat bone defects in orthopaedics and maxillofacial surgery. Recently the extrusion properties of CPC-MBG composites using a pasty CPC based on a hydrophobic carrier-liquid were studied in our group demonstrating that such composites are suitable for low temperature 3D plotting. Based on this work, we show in this study that by variation of the MBG content in the composite the degradation of the final scaffolds can be influenced. Furthermore, by modifying the cement phase and/or the MBG with therapeutically active ions like strontium, the released ion concentration can be varied over a wide range. In a second step the MBG was functionalized exploiting the high specific surface area of the glass as a carrier system for proteins like lysozyme or grow factors. We developed a protocol that allows the incorporation of protein-laden MBG in CPC pastes without impairing the extrudability of the CPC-MBG composites. Additionally, we found that released proteins from pure MBG or 3D plotted composite-scaffolds maintained their biological activity. Therefore, the combination of CPC and MBG allows the creation of a highly flexible composite system making it a promising candidate for bone tissue engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Calcium phosphate cements and mesoporous bioactive glasses are two promising degradable biomaterials for the regenerative treatment of bone defects. The combination of both materials to a 3D printable composite enables the creation of implants with patient specific geometry. By varying the composition of the composite, the degradation behaviour can be influenced and especially the release of therapeutically active ions is tailorable over a wide range. We demonstrated this for strontium, as it has been shown to stimulate bone formation. Moreover, the bioactive glass can be used as a carrier system for drugs or growth factors and we show the successful combination of such functionalised glass particles and a cement paste without affecting the printability.

Abstract
Out of the wide range of calcium phosphate (CaP) biomaterials, calcium phosphate bone cements (CPCs) have attracted increased attention since their discovery in the 1980s due to their valuable properties such as bioactivity, osteoconductivity, injectability, hardening ability through a low-temperature setting reaction and moldability. Thereafter numerous researches have been performed to enhance the properties of CPCs. Nonetheless, low mechanical performance of CPCs limits their clinical application in load bearing regions of bone. Also, the in vivo resorption and replacement of CPC with new bone tissue is still controversial, thus further improvements of high clinical importance are required. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are biocompatible and able to bond to bone, stimulating new bone growth while dissolving over time. In the last decades extensive research has been performed analyzing the role of BGs in combination with different CaPs. Thus, the focal point of this review paper is to summarize the available research data on how injectable CPC properties could be improved or affected by the addition of BG as a secondary powder phase. It was found that despite the variances of setting time and compressive strength results, desirable injectable properties of bone cements can be achieved by the inclusion of BGs into CPCs. The published data also revealed that the degradation rate of CPCs is significantly improved by BG addition. Moreover, the presence of BG in CPCs improves the in vitro osteogenic differentiation and cell response as well as the tissue-material interaction in vivo. Properties of injectable calcium phosphate bone cements and bioactive glasses are discussed. Benefits that BG addition to CPC could bring are highlighted. Desirable injectable properties of bone cements can be achieved by the inclusion of BGs into CPCs. The presence of BG in CPC advances in vitro and in vivo response of the composites. Future research direction of BG containing injectable CPC composites are provided.

Abstract
Radiopacity is sometimes an essential characteristic of biomaterials that can help clinicians perform follow-ups during pre- and post-interventional radiological imaging. Due to their chemical composition and structure, most bioceramics are inherently radiopaque but can still be doped/mixed with radiopacifiers to increase their visualization during or after medical procedures. The radiopacifiers are frequently heavy elements of the periodic table, such as Bi, Zr, Sr, Ba, Ta, Zn, Y, etc., or their relevant compounds that can confer enhanced radiopacity. Radiopaque bioceramics are also intriguing additives for biopolymers and hybrids, which are extensively researched and developed nowadays for various biomedical setups. The present work aims to provide an overview of radiopaque bioceramics, specifically crystalline, non-crystalline (glassy), and nanostructured bioceramics designed for applications in orthopedics, dentistry, and cancer therapy. Furthermore, the modification of the chemical, physical, and biological properties of parent ceramics/biopolymers due to the addition of radiopacifiers is critically discussed. We also point out future research lacunas in this exciting field that bioceramists can explore further.

Venous injection of a triphasic calcium-based implant in a sheep model of pulmonary embolism demonstrates minimal acute systemic effects. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2022; 31:2812-2821.

Abstract
PURPOSE Implant leakage is the most common complication of vertebral augmentation. Alternative injectable materials must demonstrate intravascular safety comparable to or better than polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). This study assessed the systemic effects of a triphasic calcium-based implant or PMMA injected directly into the femoral vein in a large animal model designed to mimic severe intravascular implant leakage. METHODS Six skeletally mature female sheep were randomly assigned (n = 3) to either the PMMA or the triphasic implant (AGN1, composition: calcium sulfate, β-tricalcium phosphate, brushite) treatment group. Femoral veins of each sheep were directly injected with 0.5 mL of implant material to mimic leakage volumes reported during PMMA vertebroplasty. To compare acute systemic effects of the materials, cardiovascular parameters, laboratory coagulation markers, and calcium and sulfate serum levels were monitored for 60 min after implant injection. Thrombotic and embolic events were evaluated by radiologic imaging, necropsy, and histopathology. RESULTS Heart rate, systemic arterial blood pressure, arterial oxygenation, arterial carbon dioxide content, and coagulation markers remained within physiological range after either AGN1 or PMMA injection. No blood flow interruption in the larger pulmonary vessels was observed in either group. Lung histopathology revealed that the severity of thrombotic changes after AGN1 injection was minimal to slight, while changes after PMMA injection were minimal to massive. CONCLUSION Acute systemic effects of intravascular AGN1 appeared to be comparable to or less than that of intravascular PMMA. Furthermore, in this preliminary study, the severity and incidence of pulmonary histological changes were lower for AGN1 compared to PMMA.

Puricelli E. Puricelli biconvex arthroplasty as an alternative for temporomandibular joint reconstruction: description of the technique and long-term case report. Head Face Med 2022; 18:27. [PMID: 35906643 PMCID: PMC9335964 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-022-00331-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background There are several indications for partial or total replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), including neoplasms and severe bone resorptions. In this regard, several techniques have been suggested to increase the functionality and longevity of these prosthetic devices. This case report describes the treatment of a TMJ ankylosis patient with the Puricelli biconvex arthroplasty (ABiP) technique, with a long-term follow-up. Case presentation In 1978, a 33-year-old male polytraumatised patient developed painful symptoms in the right preauricular region, associated with restricted movement of the ipsilateral TMJ. Due to subcondylar fracture, an elastic maxillomandibular immobilisation (EMMI) was applied. Subsequently, the patient was referred for treatment when limitations of the interincisal opening (10 mm) and the presence of spontaneous pain that increased on palpation were confirmed. Imaging exams confirmed the fracture, with anteromedial displacement and bony ankylosis of the joint. Exeresis of the compromised tissues and their replacement through ABiP was indicated. The method uses conservative access (i.e., preauricular incision), partial resection of the ankylosed mass, and tissue replacement using two poly(methyl methacrylate) components, with minimal and stable contact between the convex surfaces. At the end of the procedure, joint stability and dental occlusion were tested. The patient showed significant improvement at the postoperative 6-month follow-up, with no pain and increased mouth opening range (30 mm). At the 43-year follow-up, no joint noises, pain or movement restrictions were reported (mouth opening of 36 mm). Imaging exams did not indicate tissue degeneration and showed the integrity of prosthetic components. Conclusions The present case report indicates that ABiP enables joint movements of the TMJ, allowing the remission of signs and symptoms over more than 40 years of follow-up. These data suggest that this technique is a simple and effective alternative when there is an indication for TMJ reconstruction in adult patients with ankylosis.

Abstract
The aim of this work was the development of injectable radio-opaque and macroporous calcium phosphate cement (CPC) to be used as a bone substitute for the treatment of pathologic vertebral fractures. A CPC was first rendered radio-opaque by the incorporation of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). In order to create macroporosity, poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres around 100 μm were homogeneously incorporated into the CPC as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Physicochemical analyses by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the brushite phase of the cement. The mechanical properties of the CPC/PLGA cement containing 30% PLGA (wt/wt) were characterized by a compressive strength of 2 MPa and a Young's modulus of 1 GPa. The CPC/PLGA exhibited initial and final setting times of 7 and 12 min, respectively. Although the incorporation of PLGA microspheres increased the force necessary to inject the cement and decreased the percentage of injected mass as a function of time, the CPC/PLGA appeared fully injectable at 4 min. Moreover, in comparison with CPC, CPC/PLGA showed a full degradation in 6 weeks (with 100% mass loss), and this was associated with an acidification of the medium containing the CPC/PLGA sample (pH of 3.5 after 6 weeks). A cell viability test validated CPC/PLGA biocompatibility, and in vivo analyses using a bone defect assay in the caudal vertebrae of Wistar rats showed the good opacity of the CPC through the tail and a significant increased degradation of the CPC/PLGA cement a month after implantation. In conclusion, this injectable CPC scaffold appears to be an interesting material for bone substitution.

Al-Abassi A, Papini M, Towler M. Review of Biomechanical Studies and Finite Element Modeling of Sternal Closure Using Bio-Active Adhesives. Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:198.

Abstract
The most common complication of median sternotomy surgery is sternum re-separation after sternal fixation, which leads to high rates of morbidity and mortality. The adhered sternal fixation technique comprises the wiring fixation technique and the use of bio-adhesives. Adhered sternal fixation techniques have not been extensively studied using finite element analysis, so mechanical testing studies and finite element analysis of sternal fixation will be presented in this review to find the optimum techniques for simulating sternal fixation with adhesives. The optimal wiring technique should enhance bone stability and limit sternal displacement. Bio-adhesives have been proposed to support sternal fixation, as wiring is prone to failure in cases of post-operative problems. The aim of this paper is to review and present the existing numerical and biomechanical sternal fixation studies by reviewing common sternal closure techniques, adhesives for sternal closure, biomechanical modeling of sternal fixation, and finite element modeling of sternal fixation systems. Investigating the physical behavior of 3D sternal fixation models by finite element analysis (FEA) will lower the expense of conducting clinical trials. This indicates that FEA studies of sternal fixation with adhesives are needed to analyze the efficiency of this sternal closure technique virtually.

Abstract
Revision surgeries several years after the implantation of the prosthesis are unfavorable from the patient’s point of view as they expose him to additional discomfort, to risk of complications and are expensive. One of the factors responsible for the aseptic loosening of the prosthesis is the gradual degradation of the cement material as a result of working under considerable loads, in an aggressive environment of the human body. Contaminants present in the surgical field may significantly affect the durability of the bone cement and, consequently, of the entire bone-cement-prosthesis system. The paper presents the results of an analysis of selected mechanical properties of two medium-viscosity bone cements DePuy CMW3 Gentamicin and Heraeus Palamed, for the samples contaminated with saline and blood in the range of 1–10%. The results obtained for compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were subjected to statistical analysis, which estimated the nature of changes in these parameters depending on the amount and type of contamination and their statistical significance.

Abstract
Spinal acrylic bone cements (ABCs) are used clinically for percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and kyphoplasty (PKP) to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Product translation of spinal ABC products followed the design control processes including design verification and validation. The bench to bedside translation of the first Chinese spinal ABC product (Alliment®, namely Alliment Cement) approved by National Medical Products Administration of China was investigated and another commercial product served as the control (Osteopal®V, namely Osteopal V Cement). Results of non-clinical bench performance verification tests of compression, bending and monomer release showed that the newly marketed Alliment Cement is similar to the Osteopal V Cement with properties of both meeting the criteria specified by standards. The Alliment Cement demonstrated good biocompatibility during the 26 weeks’ bone implantation test. Porcine cadaver validation tests further revealed that the Alliment Cement satisfied the needs for both PVP and PKP procedures. A post-approval, retrospective clinical investigation further demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the Alliment Cement, with a significant reduction of pain and the improved stability of the fractured vertebral bodies. A successful translation of biomaterial medical products needs close collaborations among academia, industry, healthcare professionals and regulatory agencies. Bench-to-bedside research of the first Chinese spinal acrylic bone cement product. •Pre- & clinical investigations demonstrate the product's safety and efficacy. •Translation of biomaterial medical products follows regulated processes.

Abstract
Among different treatments of critical-sized bone defects, bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a fast-developing strategy centering around the fabrication of scaffolds that can stimulate tissue regeneration and provide mechanical support at the same time. This area has seen an extensive application of bioceramics, such as calcium phosphate, for their bioactivity and resemblance to the composition of natural bones. Moreover, recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have unleashed enormous potential in the fabrication of BTE scaffolds with tailored porous structures as well as desired biological and mechanical properties. Robocasting is an AM technique that has been widely applied to fabricate calcium phosphate scaffolds, but most of these scaffolds do not meet the mechanical requirements for load-bearing BTE scaffolds. In light of this challenge, various approaches have been utilized to mechanically strengthen the scaffolds. In this review, the current state of knowledge and existing research on robocasting of calcium phosphate scaffolds are presented. Applying the Gibson-Ashby model, this review provides a meta-analysis from the published literature of the compressive strength of robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds. Furthermore, this review evaluates different approaches to the mechanical strengthening of robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds. The aim of this review is to provide insightful data and analysis for future research on mechanical strengthening of robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds and ultimately for their clinical applications.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are widely accepted biomaterials able to promote the regeneration of bone tissue. However, the regeneration of critical-sized bone defects has been considered challenging, and the development of bioceramics exhibiting enhanced bioactivity, bioresorbability and mechanical performance is highly demanded. In this respect, the tuning of their chemical composition, crystal size and morphology have been the matter of intense research in the last decades, including the preparation of composites. The development of effective bioceramic composite scaffolds relies on effective manufacturing techniques able to control the final multi-scale porosity of the devices, relevant to ensure osteointegration and bio-competent mechanical performance. In this context, the present work provides an overview about the reported strategies to develop and optimize bioceramics, while also highlighting future perspectives in the development of bioactive ceramic composites for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Material science is a relevant discipline in support of regenerative medicine. Indeed, tissue regeneration requires the use of scaffolds able to guide and sustain the natural cell metabolism towards tissue regrowth. This need is particularly important in musculoskeletal regeneration, such as in the case of diseased bone or osteocartilaginous regions for which calcium phosphate-based scaffolds are considered as the golden solution. However, various technological barriers related to conventional ceramic processing have thus far hampered the achievement of biomimetic and bioactive scaffolds as effective solutions for still unmet clinical needs in orthopaedics. Driven by such highly impacting socioeconomic needs, new nature-inspired approaches promise to make a technological leap forward in the development of advanced biomaterials. The present review illustrates ion-doped apatites as biomimetic materials whose bioactivity resides in their unstable chemical composition and nanocrystallinity, both of which are, however, destroyed by the classical sintering treatment. In the following, recent nature-inspired methods preventing the use of high-temperature treatments, based on (i) chemically hardening bioceramics, (ii) biomineralisation process, and (iii) biomorphic transformations, are illustrated. These methods can generate products with advanced biofunctional properties, particularly biomorphic transformations represent an emerging approach that could pave the way to a technological leap forward in medicine and also in various other application fields.

Abstract
Oil-based calcium phosphate cement (Paste-CPC) shows not only prolonged shelf life and injection times, but also improved cohesion and reproducibility during application, while retaining the advantages of fast setting, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. In addition, poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) fiber reinforcement may decrease the risk for local extrusion. Bone defects (diameter 5 mm; depth 15 mm) generated ex vivo in lumbar (L) spines of female Merino sheep (2–4 years) were augmented using: (i) water-based CPC with 10% PLGA fiber reinforcement (L3); (ii) Paste-CPC (L4); or (iii) clinically established polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement (L5). Untouched (L1) and empty vertebrae (L2) served as controls. Cement performance was analyzed using micro-computed tomography, histology, and biomechanical testing. Extrusion was comparable for Paste-CPC(-PLGA) and PMMA, but significantly lower for CPC + PLGA. Compressive strength and Young’s modulus were similar for Paste-CPC and PMMA, but significantly higher compared to those for empty defects and/or CPC + PLGA. Expectedly, all experimental groups showed significantly or numerically lower compressive strength and Young’s modulus than those of untouched controls. Ready-to-use Paste-CPC demonstrates a performance similar to that of PMMA, but improved biomechanics compared to those of water-based CPC + PLGA, expanding the therapeutic arsenal for bone defects. O, significantly lower extrusion of CPC + PLGA fibers into adjacent lumbar spongiosa may help to reduce the risk of local extrusion in spinal surgery.

Abstract
Bone regenerative engineering provides a great platform for bone tissue regeneration covering cells, growth factors and other dynamic forces for fabricating scaffolds. Diversified biomaterials and their fabrication methods have emerged for fabricating patient specific bioactive scaffolds with controlled microstructures for bridging complex bone defects. The goal of this review is to summarize the points of scaffold design as well as applications for bone regeneration based on both electrospinning and 3D bioprinting. It first briefly introduces biological characteristics of bone regeneration and summarizes the applications of different types of material and the considerations for bone regeneration including polymers, ceramics, metals and composites. We then discuss electrospinning nanofibrous scaffold applied for the bone regenerative engineering with various properties, components and structures. Meanwhile, diverse design in the 3D bioprinting scaffolds for osteogenesis especially in the role of drug and bioactive factors delivery are assembled. Finally, we discuss challenges and future prospects in the development of electrospinning and 3D bioprinting for osteogenesis and prominent strategies and directions in future.

Abstract
This study presents an analysis of the impact of doping bone cement with saline. The two-ingredient cement, made right before the surgery, is subject to various kinds of organic contaminants and liquids used in the operating area, such as saline used to cleanse or cool it, during the process of mounting the prosthesis or bone-filling procedures. The processes of experimental destructive testing and statistical analysis have shown that, depending on the degree of saline doping, the static compressive strength parameters may greatly improve (with a low degree of contamination) or significantly worsen (when the contamination degree is higher). The limit value of the degree of salt admixture was estimated (2%), with which no statistically significant differences were observed in the cement strength in relation to the strength of non-contaminated cement.

Abstract
Although calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have been clinically used to repair bone defects caused by bone tumor resection, traditional CPCs cannot kill the remaining tumor cells after surgery and prevent cancer recurrence. In this study, a multifunctional injectable metal-organic framework (MOF) cobalt coordinated tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (Co-TCPP)-modified calcium phosphate cement (Co-TCPP/CPC) was prepared for the minimally invasive treatment of neoplastic bone defects. The incorporation of Co-TCPP not only retained the good injectability of bone cements, but also shortened the setting time, improved the compressive strength, and endowed them with excellent photothermal properties. The hyperthermia effect induced by the presence of Co-TCPP well induced the therapeutic effect against bone tumors both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, Co-TCPP/CPC exhibited desirable osteogenesis and angiogenesis by promoting bone and vascular regeneration in vivo. Therefore, the Co-TCPP composite bone cement demonstrated its great potential for bone tumor therapy and tissue regeneration, representing a multifunctional biomaterial for the treatment of neoplastic bone defects.

Abstract
Bone cements play a key role in present-day surgery, including the implantation of hip and knee joint endoprostheses. The correct and durable bonding of the prosthesis to the bone is affected by both the static strength characteristics determined in accordance with ISO 5833:2002 and the resistance to long-term exposure to an aggressive environment of the human body and the impurities that may be introduced into the cement during implementation. The study attempts to demonstrate statistically significant degradation of cement as a result of the seasoning of cement samples in Ringer’s solution with simultaneous contamination of the material with saline solution, which is usually present in the surgical field (e.g., during the fixing of endoprostheses). The results of statistical analysis showed the nature of changes in compressive strength and microhardness due to seasoning time and degree of contamination.

Abstract
Calcium silicate cement has attracted much attention for bone defect repair and regeneration due to its osteogenic properties. Biomaterial-associated infections and washout have become a common clinical problem. In order to enhance the antibacterial and washout performance of calcium silicate cement to meet clinical needs, different types of chitosan, including chitosan polysaccharide (CTS), quaternary ammonium chitosan (QTS), and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), as a liquid phase were added to the calcium silicate powder. The physicochemical properties, in vitro bioactivity, antibacterial efficacy, and osteogenic effects (MG63 cells) of the cement were evaluated. Antibacterial activity was conducted with Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and a Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. The amount of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the bacteria cultured with the chitosan solution was also detected. The experimental results showed that the chitosan additive did not affect the crystalline phase of calcium silicate cement, but increased the setting time and strength of the cement in a concentration-dependent manner. Within the scope of this study, CTS and QTS solutions with a concentration of not <1 wt% improved the washout resistance of the control cement, while the COS solutions failed to strengthen the cement. When soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1 day, all cement samples formed apatite spherules. As the soaking time increased, the diametral tensile strength of all cements decreased and the porosity increased. The assays of MG63 cell function showed lower osteogenic activity of osteoblastic cells grown on the surfaces of the chitosan-incorporated cements in comparison with the control cement without chitosan. At the same 1% concentration, compared with QTS and COS cement, CTS cement had lower cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. Conversely, the CTS cement resulted in the highest bacteriostasis ratio among the three hybrid cements against two bacteria. The ROS production followed the order of CTS > QTS > COS at the same 1% concentration. In conclusion, calcium silicate cement with 1% QTS may be a viable candidate for bone defect repair in view of anti-washout performance, setting time, antibacterial activity, and osteogenic activity shown in this study.

Abstract
Because of their chemical similarity to the mineral phase of bone and teeth, calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are extensively investigated for applications in biomedicine. Nevertheless, their applicability in load-bearing anatomical sites is restricted by their brittleness. Reinforcement of calcium phosphate cements with polymeric fibers can overcome this mechanical limitation provided that the affinity between these fibers and the surrounding matrix is optimal. To date, the effects of the fiber-matrix affinity on the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate cements are still poorly understood. The goal of this study is therefore to investigate the interfacial properties and bond-slip response between the CPC matrix and polymeric fibers. To this end, we selected poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibers as reinforcing agents because of their high strength and stiffness and their effective reinforcement of cementitious matrices. Micromechanical pull-out experiments were combined with numerical simulations based on an dedicated constitutive interfacial law to characterize the interfacial properties of PVA fibers embedded in a CPC matrix at the single fiber pull-out level. The computational model developed herein is able to predict all three main phases of pull-out response, i.e. the elastic, debonding and frictional pull-out phases. The resulting interfacial constitutive law is validated experimentally and predicts the pull-out response of fibers with different diameters and embedded lengths. STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE: To date, the effects of the fiber-matrix affinity on the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate cements are still poorly understood. In this study, we present a novel experimental protocol to investigate the affinity between poly (vinyl alcohol) PVA fibers and the calcium phosphate cement (CPC) matrix by means of single-fiber pull out tests. We determine the critical embedded length for PVA fibers with two different diameters; and we design a numerical FE model including a distinct representation of fiber, matrix and interface with a predictive interfacial constitutive law which is capable of capturing all three main phases of single-fiber pull-out, i.e. elastic, debonding and frictional stages. The resulting interfacial constitutive law is validated experimentally and predicts the pull-out response of fibers with different diameters and embedded lengths.

Abstract
A brushite-forming calcium phosphate cement (CPC) was mechanically stabilized by addition of poly (l-lactid-co-glycolide; PLGA) fibers (≤10% w/w). It proved highly biocompatible and its fiber component enhanced bone formation in a sheep lumbar vertebroplasty model. However, possible effects on the osteogenic differentiation of resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remained unexplored. The present study used a novel approach, simultaneously analyzing the influence of a solid CPC scaffold and its relatively low PLGA proportion (a mimicry of natural bone) on osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation, as well as the pluripotency of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs). hASCs were cultured on CPC discs with/without PLGA fibers (5% and 10%) in the absence of osteogenic medium for 3, 7, and 14 d. Gene expression of osteogenic markers (Runx2, osterix, alkaline phosphatase, collagen I, osteonectin, osteopontin, osteocalcin), chondrogenic markers (collagen II, Sox9, aggrecan), adipogenic markers (PPARG, Leptin, and FABP4), and pluripotency markers (Nanog, Tert, Rex) was analyzed by RT-PCR. The ability of hASCs to synthesize alkaline phosphatase was also evaluated. Cell number and viability were determined by fluorescein diacetate/propidium iodide staining. Compared to pure CPC, cultivation of hASCs on fiber-reinforced CPC transiently induced the gene expression of Runx2 and osterix (day 3), and long-lastingly augmented the expression of alkaline phosphatase (and its enzyme activity), collagen I, and osteonectin (until day 14). In contrast, augmented expression of all chondrogenic, adipogenic, and pluripotency markers was limited to day 3, followed by significant downregulation. Cultivation of hASCs on fiber-reinforced CPC reduced the cell number, but not the proportion of viable cells (viability > 95%). The PLGA component of fiber-reinforced, brushite-forming CPC supports long-lasting osteogenic differentiation of hASCs, whereas chondrogenesis, adipogenesis, and pluripotency are initially augmented, but subsequently suppressed. In view of parallel animal results, PLGA fibers may represent an interesting clinical target for future improvement of CPC- based bone regeneration.

Abstract
Background Evidence on antibiotic-loaded bone cement remains too vague to guide kyphoplasty in patient care. We clinically evaluated the properties and benefits of a new low viscosity polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement loaded with gentamicin. Methods In this non-randomised, monocentric, prospective open trial, 50 consecutively enrolled patients with fractures of the vertebral body (TH7-L4) due to osteoporosis or trauma were investigated between 2010 and 2013, with a 1-year post-op follow-up per patient. The antibiotic-loaded PMMA bone cement was administered to patients during the surgery according to the standard procedure established on site for one-staged kyphoplasty. The clinical outcome was assessed according to function and pain by standardised anamnesis, clinical investigation, validated visual analogue scale (VAS) vertebral spine score, Oswestry Low-Back-Pain (ODI) Disability score, and Short Form (SF)-36 score. We further performed X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging with radiomorphometric assessment. Results The patients showed beneficial effects concerning low back pain disability (mean ODI score; screening, 68.0 ± 15.8% vs month 12, 42.8 ± 24.5%). The pain level was decreased (VAS vertebral spine score; screening, 68.8 ± 17.6 vs month 12, 43.8 ± 22.2) and the general health state was improved (SF-36; especially ‘role limitations due to emotional problems’ (51.9 ± 44.7; month 6), followed by ‘role limitations due to physical health’ (36.1 ± 42.4; month 6), and ‘pain’ (34.6 ± 35.3; month 6)). No vertebral infection did occur during the hospital stay or the 1-year follow-up. The stabilisation and restoration of the fractured bodies were radiologically confirmed. A reduced rate of leakage was observed, combined with a decreased risk of infection and an improved patient safety after a 1-year follow-up period. Conclusion Requirements for bone cement in a kyphoplasty setting were excellently fulfilled. Application technique and cement properties may influence the success of the surgery.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) and mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBG) are two degradable biomaterial groups widely under investigation concerning their applicability to treat bone defects. MBG-CPC composites were recently shown to possess enhanced degradation properties in comparison to pure CPC. In addition, modification of MBG allows an easy incorporation of therapeutically effective ions. Additive manufacturing of such composites enables the fabrication of patient-specific geometries with further improved degradation behavior due to control over macroporosity. In this study, we developed composites prepared from a non-aqueous carrier-liquid (cl) based CPC paste and MBG particles suitable for extrusion-based additive manufacturing (3D plotting). CPC with the addition of up to 10 wt % MBG were processible by adjusting the amount of cl. Scaffolds consisting of a 4, 6 and 8%-MBG-CPC composite were successfully manufactured by 3D plotting. While mechanically characterization of the scaffolds showed an influence of the MBG, no changes of microstructure were observed. During degradation of the composite, the release of Ca2+ and Sr2+ ions could be controlled by the MBG composition and plotted scaffolds with macropores showed a significant higher release than bulk samples of comparable mass. These findings demonstrate a high flexibility regarding ion release of the developed composites and suggest utilizing the drug binding capacities of MBG as a prospective delivery system for biologically active proteins.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cements have been widely used in clinical practices. In order to enhance PMMA's imaging performance to facilitate surgical procedures, a supplementation of radiopaque agent is needed. However, PMMA bone cements are still facing problems of loosening and bacterial infection. In this study, a multifunctional coating to simultaneously encapsulate drug and prevent the infection of radiopaque agent has been developed. Barium sulfate (BaSO4), a common radiopaque agent, is used as a substrate material. We successfully fabricated porous BaSO4 microparticles, then modified with hexakis-(6-iodo-6-deoxy)-alpha-cyclodextrin (I-CD) and silver (Ag) to obtain porous BaSO4@PDA/I-CD/Ag microparticles. The porous nature and presence of PDA coating and I-CD on the surface of microparticles result in efficient loading and release of drugs such as protein. Meanwhile, the radiopacity of BaSO4@PDA/I-CD/Ag microparticles is enhanced by this multifunctional coating containing Ba, I and Ag. PMMA bone cements containing BaSO4@PDA/I-CD/Ag microparticles show 99% antibacterial rate against both Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia Coli (E. coli), yet without apparently affecting its biocompatibility. Together, this multifunctional coating possessing enhanced radiopacity, controlled drug delivery capability and exceptional antibacterial performance, may be a new way to modify radiopaque agents for bone cements.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2019; 96:125-135. [PMID: 31035063 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2019.04.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2018] [Revised: 04/21/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement has been widely used to fill and stabilize hard tissue defects in clinical surgery, especially in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). However, the dense body of pure PMMA in defects has no ability to promote bone regeneration. We herein aim to fabricate novel PMMA/silicate bioceramic hybrid cements by adding bioactive calcium silicate (CS) particles into PMMA to endow PMMA/CS hybrid cements with bioactivity and biodegradability without losing the excellent mechanical strength and injectability. Following comprehensive characterization of the physicochemical properties and in vitro bioactivity study, our results showed compared with PMMA cement, the constructed PMMA/CS hybrid cements possessed significantly lower curing temperatures and simultaneously retained the acceptable mechanical strength and injectability. Moreover, obvious bioactive ion release and hydroxyapatite formation could be detected and observed after the PMMA/CS hybrid cements were soaked in simulated body fluid, indicating their pronounced bioactivity. A further in vivo study of the PMMA/CS hybrid cements on goat vertebral body defect models reflected that the PMMA/CS hybrid cements could be biodegraded well and could significantly promote new bone formation in defects 6 months of post-injection. Our results suggest that PMMA/CS hybrid cements may be promising candidates for PVP and PKP in clinic.

Polymerization kinetics stability, volumetric changes, apatite precipitation, strontium release and fatigue of novel bone composites for vertebroplasty. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0207965.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to determine effects of diluent monomer and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) on polymerization kinetics and volumetric stability, apatite precipitation, strontium release and fatigue of novel dual-paste composites for vertebroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS Polypropylene (PPGDMA) or triethylene (TEGDMA) glycol dimethacrylates (25 wt%) diluents were combined with urethane dimethacrylate (70 wt%) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (5 wt%). 70 wt% filler containing glass particles, glass fibers (20 wt%) and polylysine (5 wt%) was added. Benzoyl peroxide and MCPM (10 or 20 wt%) or N-tolyglycine glycidyl methacrylate and tristrontium phosphate (15 wt%) were included to give initiator or activator pastes. Commercial PMMA (Simplex) and bone composite (Cortoss) were used for comparison. ATR-FTIR was used to determine thermal activated polymerization kinetics of initiator pastes at 50-80°C. Paste stability, following storage at 4-37°C, was assessed visually or through mixed paste polymerization kinetics at 25°C. Polymerization shrinkage and heat generation were calculated from final monomer conversions. Subsequent expansion and surface apatite precipitation in simulated body fluid (SBF) were assessed gravimetrically and via SEM. Strontium release into water was assessed using ICP-MS. Biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and fatigue properties were determined at 37°C after 4 weeks in SBF. RESULTS Polymerization profiles all exhibited an inhibition time before polymerization as predicted by free radical polymerization mechanisms. Initiator paste inhibition times and maximum reaction rates were described well by Arrhenius plots. Plot extrapolation, however, underestimated lower temperature paste stability. Replacement of TEGDMA by PPGDMA, enhanced paste stability, final monomer conversion, water-sorption induced expansion and strontium release but reduced polymerization shrinkage and heat generation. Increasing MCPM level enhanced volume expansion, surface apatite precipitation and strontium release. Although the experimental composite flexural strengths were lower compared to those of commercially available Simplex, the extrapolated low load fatigue lives of all materials were comparable. CONCLUSIONS Increased inhibition times at high temperature give longer predicted shelf-life whilst stability of mixed paste inhibition times is important for consistent clinical application. Increased volumetric stability, strontium release and apatite formation should encourage bone integration. Replacing TEGDMA by PPGDMA and increasing MCPM could therefore increase suitability of the above novel bone composites for vertebroplasty. Long fatigue lives of the composites may also ensure long-term durability of the materials.

Abstract
Injectable bone cement (IBC) such as those based on methacrylates and hydraulic calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate-based cements have been used extensively for filling bone defects with acceptable clinical outcomes. There is a need however for novel IBC materials that can address some of the inherent limitations of currently available formulations to widen the clinical application of IBC. In this study, we characterized a novel hydraulic IBC formulation consisting of bioactive strontium-doped hardystonite (Sr-HT) ceramic microparticles and sodium dihydrogen phosphate, herein named Sr-HT phosphate cement (SPC). The resultant cement is comprised of two distinct amorphous phases with embedded partially reacted crystalline reactants. The novel SPC formulation possesses a unique combination of physicochemical properties suitable for use as an IBC, and demonstrates in vitro cytocompatibility when seeded with primary human osteoblasts. In vivo injection of SPC into rabbit sinus defects show minor new bone formation at the SPC periphery, similar to those exhibited in sinus defects filled with a clinically available calcium phosphate cement. The current SPC formulation presented in this paper shows promise as a clinically applicable IBC which can be further enhanced with additives.

Incorporation of fast dissolving glucose porogens and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles within calcium phosphate cements for bone tissue regeneration. Acta Biomater 2018; 78:341-350.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of incorporating glucose microparticles (GMPs) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles (PLGA MPs) within a calcium phosphate cement on the cement's handling, physicochemical properties, and the respective pore formation. Composites were fabricated with two different weight fractions of GMPs (10 and 20 wt%) and two different weight fractions of PLGA MPs (10 and 20 wt%). Samples were assayed for porosity, pore morphology, and compressive mechanical properties. An in vitro degradation study was also conducted. Samples were exposed to a physiological solution for 3 days, 4 wks, and 8 wks in order to understand how the inclusion of GMPs and PLGA MPs affects the composite's porosity and mass loss over time. GMPs and PLGA MPs were both successfully incorporated within the composites and all formulations showed an initial setting time that is appropriate for clinical applications. Through a main effects analysis, we observed that the incorporation of GMPs had a significant effect on the overall porosity, mean pore size, mode pore size, and in vitro degradation rate of PLGA MPs as early as after 3 days (p < 0.05). After 4 wks and 8 wks, these same properties were affected by the inclusion of both types of MPs (p < 0.05). Advanced polymer chromatography confirmed that the degradation of PLGA MPs coincided with an increase in composite porosity, mean pore size, and mode pore size. Finally, it was observed that the inclusion of GMPs slowed the degradation of PLGA MPs in vitro and reduced the solution acidity due to PLGA degradation products. Our results suggest that the dual inclusion of GMPs and PLGA MPs is a valuable approach for the generation of early macropores, while also mitigating the effect of acidic degradation products from PLGA MPs on their degradation kinetics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE A multitude of strategies and techniques have been investigated for the introduction of macropores with calcium phosphate cements (CPC). However, many of these strategies take several weeks to months to generate a maximal porosity or the degradation products of the porogen can trigger a localized inflammatory response in vivo. As such, it was hypothesized that the fast dissolution of glucose microparticles (GMPs) in a CPC composite also incorporating poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles (MPs) will create an initial macroporosity and increase the surface area within the CPC, thus enhancing the diffusion of PLGA degradation products and preventing a significant decrease in pH. Furthermore, as PLGA degradation occurs over several weeks to months, additional macroporosity will be generated at later time points within CPCs. The results offer a new method for generating macroporosity in a multimodal fashion that also mitigates the effects of acidic degradation products.

Abstract
A novel one-step preparation of magnesium particles and Pluronic F127 incorporated with calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) ready to use injectable or moldable beads was developed for bone tissue regeneration applications. The nanocomposite showed setting time less than 15 min, very good injectability (75-85%) and good mechanical strength (52-80 MPa). Samples immersed in SBF showed controlled degradation (40-45% reduction in weight) in 28 days. The nanocomposite bone graft was cytocompatible against MG63 osteosarcoma cells and increased the osteogenic gene expression by 2-3 folds. These results indicate that it can be a potential defect filling biomaterial for bone tissue regeneration at the fracture site.

Abstract
In this study, a novel injectable bone substitute (IBS) was prepared by incorporating a bioceramic powder in a polymeric solution comprising of methylcellulose (MC), gelatin and citric acid. Methylcellulose was utilized as the polymeric matrix due to its thermoresponsive properties and biocompatibility. 2.5 wt % gelatin and 3 wt % citric acid were added to the MC to adjust the rheological properties of the prepared IBS. Then, 0, 20, 30 and 50 wt % of the bioceramic component comprising tetracalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite (TTCP/HA), dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (DCPD) and calcium sulfate dehydrate (CSD) were added into the prepared polymeric component. The prepared IBS samples had a chewing gum-like consistency. IBS samples were investigated in terms of their chemical structure, rheological characteristics, and mechanical properties. After that, in vitro degradation studies were carried out by measurement of pH and % remaining weight. Viscoelastic characteristics of the samples indicated that all of the prepared IBS were injectable and they hardened at approximately 37 °C. Moreover, with increasing wt % of the bioceramic component, the degradation rate of the samples significantly reduced and the mechanical properties were improved. Therefore, the experimental results indicated that the P50 mix may be a promising candidates to fill bone defects and assist bone recovery for non-load bearing applications.

Adv Orthop 2018; 2018:6365472. [PMID: 29692935 PMCID: PMC5859844 DOI: 10.1155/2018/6365472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2017] [Revised: 11/12/2017] [Accepted: 12/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Polymethacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used in vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty, but its use has been associated with complications. This study tests three hypotheses: (1) whether strontium hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) is equivalent to PMMA for restoring thoracolumbar vertebral body fractures, (2) whether the incidence of PMMA leakage is similar to that of Sr-HA leakage, and (3) whether Sr-HAis is resorbed and substituted by new vertebral bone. Materials and Methods Two age- and sex-matched groups received short percutaneous pedicle screw fixation plus PEEK implant (Kiva, VCF Treatment System, Benvenue Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA) filled with either Sr-HA (Group A) or PMMA (Group B) after A2- and A3/AO-type thoracolumbar vertebral body fractures. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and imaging parameters, which included segmental kyphosis angle (SKA), vertebral body height ratios (VBHr), spinal canal encroachment (SCE), bone cement leakage, and Sr-HA resorption, were compared between the two groups. Results The average follow-up was 28 months. No differences in VAS scores between Groups A and B were observed at baseline. Baseline back pain in both groups improved significantly three months postoperatively. Anterior, middle, and posterior VBHr did not differ between the two groups at any time point. SKA was improved insignificantly in both groups. SCE decreased insignificantly in both groups on 12-month follow-up using computed tomography (CT). PMMA leakage was observed in one patient, while no Sr-HA paste leakages occurred. Sr-HA resorption and replacement with vertebral bone were observed, and no new fractures were observed. Conclusions As all hypotheses were confirmed, the authors recommend the use of Sr-HA instead of PMMA in traumatic spine fractures, although more patients and longer follow-up will be needed to strengthen these results. This trial is registered with NCT03431519.

Abstract
There is a growing interest towards bone cements for use in vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, as such spine procedures are becoming more and more common. Such cements feature different compositions, including both traditional acrylic cements and resorbable and bioactive materials. Due to the different compositions and intended use, the mechanical requirements of cements for spinal applications differ from those of traditional cements used in joint replacement. Because of the great clinical implications, it is very important to assess their long-term mechanical competence in terms of fatigue strength and creep. This paper aims at offering a critical overview of the methods currently adopted for such mechanical tests. The existing international standards and guidelines and the literature were searched for publications relevant to fatigue and creep of cements for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. While standard methods are available for traditional bone cements in general, no standard indicates specific methods or acceptance criteria for fatigue and creep of cements for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Similarly, a large number of papers were published on cements for joint replacements, but only few cover fatigue and creep of cements for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Furthermore, the literature was analyzed to provide some indications of tests parameters and acceptance criteria (number of cycles, duration in time, stress levels, acceptable amount of creep) for possible tests specifically relevant to cements for spinal applications.

Abstract
In this study a premixed strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement for the application in osteoporotic bone defects has been developed and characterised regarding its material and in vitro properties as well as minimally invasive applicability in balloon kyphoplasty. Strontium was introduced into the cement by substitution of one precursor component, CaCO3, with its strontium analogue, SrCO3. Using a biocompatible oil phase as carrier liquid, a cement paste that only set upon contact with aqueous environment was obtained. Strontium modification resulted in an increased strength of set cements and radiographic contrast; and the cements released biologically relevant doses of Sr2+-ions that were shown to enhance osteoprogenitor cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Finally, applicability of strontium-containing cement pastes in balloon kyphoplasty was demonstrated in a human cadaver spine procedure. The cement developed in this study may therefore be well suited for minimally invasive, osteoporosis-related bone defect treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Strontium-releasing calcium phosphate bone cements are promising materials for the clinical regeneration of osteoporosis-related bone defects since they have been shown to stimulate bone formation and at the same time limit osteoclastic bone resorption. Today clinical practice favours minimally invasive surgical techniques, e.g. for vertebral fracture treatment, posing special demands on such cements. We have therefore developed a premixed, strontium-releasing bone cement with enhanced mechanical properties and high radiographic visibility that releases biologically relevant strontium concentrations and thus stimulates cells of the osteogenic lineage. In a pilot experiment we also exemplify its excellent suitability for minimally invasive balloon kyphoplasty procedures.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are widely used for bone-defect treatment. Current developments comprise the fabrication of porous scaffolds by three-dimensional plotting and doting using biologically active substances, such as strontium. Strontium is known to increase osteoblast activity and simultaneously to decrease osteoclast resorption. This study investigated the short- and long-term in vivo performances of strontium(II)-doted CPC (SrCPC) scaffolds compared to non-doted CPC scaffolds after implantation in unloaded or load-bearing trabecular bone defects in sheep. After 6 weeks, both CPC and SrCPC scaffolds exhibited good biocompatibility and osseointegration. Fluorochrome labeling revealed that both scaffolds were penetrated by newly formed bone already after 4 weeks. Neither strontium doting nor mechanical loading significantly influenced early bone formation. In contrast, after 6 months, bone formation was significantly enhanced in SrCPC compared to CPC scaffolds. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis demonstrated the release of strontium from the SrCPC into the bone. Strontium addition did not significantly influence material resorption or osteoclast formation. Mechanical loading significantly stimulated bone formation in both CPC and SrCPC scaffolds after 6 months without impairing scaffold integrity. The most bone was found in SrCPC scaffolds under load-bearing conditions. Concluding, these results demonstrate that strontium doting and mechanical loading additively stimulated bone formation in CPC scaffolds and that the scaffolds exhibited mechanical stability under moderate load, implying good clinical suitability. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are frequently used to repair bone defects. Since their discovery in the 1980s, extensive research has been conducted to improve their properties, and emerging evidence supports their increased application in bone tissue engineering. Much effort has been made to enhance the biological performance of CPCs, including their biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, biodegradability, bioactivity, and interactions with cells. This review article focuses on the major recent developments in CPCs, including 3D printing, injectability, stem cell delivery, growth factor and drug delivery, and pre-vascularization of CPC scaffolds via co-culture and tri-culture techniques to enhance angiogenesis and osteogenesis.
