Abstract
Background Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a self-limiting disorder that develops in children following interruption of the blood supply to the capital femoral epiphysis. This review outlines the current knowledge on the epidemiology, natural evolution, clinical spectrum, and management of the disease. Methods The literature pertaining to these aspects of the disease were studied and summarized in this review. Results Epidemiological studies suggest that environmental factors contribute to the causation of the disease. Incidence rates monitored over time indicate that the incidence of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is declining. The natural evolution followed on sequential plain radiographs enables division of the disease into Stages Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, and IV. Reversible deformation of the capital occurs in Stages Ia-IIa simply on standing while irreversible deformation may occur in Stages IIb and IIIa. Treatment of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease in Stages Ia-IIa aims to prevent the femoral head from getting deformed by containment and avoidance of weight-bearing. In Stages IIb and IIIa, treatment aims to remedy the effects of early irreversible deformation of the femoral head. In Stage IIIb and IV, treatment is directed to correcting the altered shape of the femoral head. The impression that these treatment methods are helpful is based on poor quality evidence. Conclusion There is an urgent need to undertake Level I studies to establish the efficacy of currently treatment. Level of evidence level V.

Abstract
Introduction: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease or Perthes disease is a condition that occurs in children aged 2 to 15 years, and is characterized by osteonecrosis of the femoral head, which results in physical limitations. Despite ongoing research, the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of Perthes disease remain unclear. In order to obtain further insights, the expression patterns of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), miRNAs, and mRNAs in a rabbit model of Perthes disease were analyzed in this study by transcriptome sequencing. Methods and results: The results of RNA-seq analyses revealed that 77 lncRNAs, 239 miRNAs, and 1027 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the rabbit model. This finding suggested that multiple genetic pathways are involved in the development of Perthes disease. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) network was subsequently constructed using the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), and network analysis revealed that the genes associated with angiogenesis and platelet activation were downregulated, which was consistent with the findings of Perthes disease. A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was additionally constructed using 29 differentially expressed lncRNAs (including HIF3A and LOC103350994), 28 differentially expressed miRNAs (including ocu-miR-574-5p and ocu-miR-324-3p), and 76 DEmRNAs (including ALOX12 and PTGER2). Disscusion: The results obtained herein provide novel perspectives regarding the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of Perthes disease. The findings of this study can pave the way for the development of effective therapeutic strategies for Perthes disease in future.

Abstract
Craniofacial bone defects can result from various disorders, including congenital malformations, tumor resection, infection, severe trauma, and accidents. Successfully regenerating cranial defects is an integral step to restore craniofacial function. However, challenges managing and controlling new bone tissue formation remain. Current advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine use innovative techniques to address these challenges. The use of biomaterials, stromal cells, and growth factors have demonstrated promising outcomes in vitro and in vivo. Natural and synthetic bone grafts combined with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and growth factors have shown encouraging results in regenerating critical-size cranial defects. One of prevalent growth factors is Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2). BMP-2 is defined as a gold standard growth factor that enhances new bone formation in vitro and in vivo. Recently, emerging evidence suggested that Megakaryocytes (MKs), induced by Thrombopoietin (TPO), show an increase in osteoblast proliferation in vitro and bone mass in vivo. Furthermore, a co-culture study shows mature MKs enhance MSC survival rate while maintaining their phenotype. Therefore, MKs can provide an insight as a potential therapy offering a safe and effective approach to regenerating critical-size cranial defects.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of core decompression (CD) with local administration of zoledronate and enriched bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCS) for the treatment of non‐traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Methods A total of 17 patients (30 hips) diagnosed with stage II and III ONFH according to the 2019 revised Association for Research on Osseous Circulation (ARCO) staging criteria from 2012 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients received the following therapy: the BMMCs and zoledronate were injected into the necrotic zone, respectively, along with CD. The mean age of the patients was 36.8 years; 14 were men and three were women. All patients included had non‐traumatic ONFH and a minimum follow‐up of 5 years, which ended when total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed. Imaging modalities, including plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were taken pre‐ and postoperatively. Harris hip score (HHS) was used to evaluate the functional outcomes of femoral head necrosis. Kaplan–Meier analysis was adopted to determine the probability of survivorship with THA as the end point in this series of patients. The correlation between radiological progression or THA and related risk factors were further analyzed. All complications were recorded. Results With THA as the follow‐up endpoint, All patients were followed up for an average of 69.1 ± 20.5 months (range, 18–95 months). Preoperative imaging found six hips (20%) at ARCO stage II, 14 hips (46.7%) at stage IIIA, 10 hips (33.3%) at stage IIIB. Fourteen hips (46.7%) shown progression radiologically, while six hips (20%) underwent TKA among these patients with hip preservation. The cumulative survival was 80% (95% CI, 0.608–905) at 5 years with THA as the end point. HHS improved from 63.3 ± 8.7 preoperatively to 74.6 ± 20.6 postoperatively (P = 0.000). Radiological progression was found to be associated with ARCO stage, Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) type, and corticosteroid exposure (P = 0.047; P = 0.012; P = 0.031). However, no correlation was found between conversion to THA and the known risk factors. No major complication was reported, with only four patients complaining about general weakness and muscle soreness, and all disappeared within 2–3 days. Conclusions The novel treatment modality could relieve pain, delay the progression of collapse, which might be an effective and safe method for hip preservation of early and mid‐term ONFH. However, the effect of this method may be related to ARCO stage, JIC type, and corticosteroid exposure.

Abstract
Bone allografts are inferior to autografts for the repair of critical-sized defects. Prior studies have suggested that bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) can be combined with allografts to produce superior healing. We created a bioactive coating on bone allografts using polycondensed deoxyribose isobutyrate ester (PDIB) polymer to deliver BMP-2 ± the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid (ZA) and tested its ability to enhance the functional utility of allografts in preclinical Wistar rat models. One ex vivo and two in vivo proof-of-concept studies were performed. First, PDIB was shown to be able to coat bone grafts (BGs). Second, PDIB was used to coat structural allogenic corticocancellous BG with BMP-2 ± ZA ± hydroxyapatite (HA) microparticles and compared with PDIB-coated grafts in a rat muscle pouch model. Next, a rat critical defect model was performed with treatment groups including (i) empty defect, (ii) BG, (iii) collagen sponge + BMP-2, (iv) BG + PDIB/BMP-2, and (v) BG + PDIB/BMP-2/ZA. Key outcome measures included detection of fluorescent bone labels, microcomputed tomography (CT) quantification of bone, and radiographic healing. In the muscle pouch study, BMP-2 did not increase net bone volume measured by microCT, however, fluorescent labeling showed large amounts of new bone. Addition of ZA increased BV by sevenfold (p < 0.01). In the critical defect model, allografts were insufficient to promote reliable union, however, union was achieved in collagen/BMP-2 and all BG/BMP-2 groups. Statement of clinical significance: These data support the concept that PDIB is a viable delivery method for BMP-2 and ZA delivery to enhance the bone forming potential of allografts. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical interventions are routinely performed on children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) to stabilize long bones, often post fracture. We speculated that a combination of intramedullary reaming and intraosseous injection of recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) could enhance periosteal ossification and ultimately cortical thickness and strength. This approach was conceptually tested in a preclinical model of genetic bone fragility. METHODS Six experimental groups were tested including no treatment, intramedullary reaming, and reaming with 5 µg BMP-2 injection performed in the tibiae of both wild type (WT) and Col1a2 G610C/+ (OI, Amish mutation) mice. Bone formation was examined at a two-week time point in ex vivo specimens by micro-computed tomography (microCT) analysis and histomorphometry with a dynamic bone label. RESULTS MicroCT data illustrated increases in tibial cortical thickness with intramedullary reaming alone (Saline) and reaming plus BMP-2 injection (BMP-2) compared to no intervention controls. In the OI mice, the periosteal bone increase was not statistically significant with Saline but there was an increase of +192% (p = 0.053) with BMP-2 injection. Dynamic histomorphometry on calcein label was used to quantify new woven bone formation; while BMP-2 induced greater bone formation than Saline, the anabolic response was blunted overall in the OI groups. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that targeting the intramedullary compartment via reaming and intraosseous BMP-2 delivery can lead to gains in cortical bone parameters. It is suggested that the next step is to validate safety and functional improvements in a clinical OI setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, an injectable Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate (SAIB) drug delivery system (SADS) was designed and fabricated for the sustained release of Ropivacaine (RP) to prolong the duration of local anesthesia. METHODS By mixing SAIB, RP, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, the SADS was prepared in a sol state with low viscosity before injection. After subcutaneous injection, the pre-gel solution underwent gelation in situ to form a drug-released depot. RESULT The in vitro release profiles and in vivo pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that RP-SADS had suitable controlled release properties. Particularly, the RP-SADS significantly reduced the initial burst release after subcutaneous injection in rats. CONCLUSION In a pharmacodynamic analysis of rats, the duration of nerve blockade was prolonged by over 3-fold for the RP-SADS formulation compared to RP solution. Additionally, RP-SADS showed good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the SADS-based depot technology is a safe drug delivery strategy for the sustained release of local anesthetics with long-term analgesia effects.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether bisphosphonates exert an effect on preventing femoral head collapse after osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in an animal model and in clinical trials. A systematic literature search was performed for studies published up to January 2017. Twenty-three articles (16 animal studies, seven clinical trials) were included in the meta-analysis. We found that the bisphosphonate group obtained significant improvement in epiphyseal quotients (MD = 15.32; 95% CI, 9.25-21.39) and provided better performance on bone volume (SMD = 1.57; 95% CI, 0.94-2.20), trabecular number (SMD = 1.30; 95% CI, 0.80-1.79), trabecular thickness (SMD = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.10-1.43) and trabecular separation (SMD = -1.44; 95% CI, -1.70 to -0.58) in the animal model. However, the bisphosphonate group did not achieve better results in pain score, Harris score, the occurrence rate of femoral head collapse, or total hip arthroplasty in the clinical trials. In conclusion, despite bisphosphonates significantly improving bone remodeling outcomes in animal models, no significant efficacy was observed in the treatment of ONFH in the clinical studies. Further studies are required to solve the discordant outcomes between the animal and clinical studies.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and ibandronate (IB) decrease the femoral head deformity following ischemic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of BMP-2 and IB on the mineral content and nanoindentation properties of the bone following ONFH. ONFH was surgically induced in the femoral head of piglets. There were five groups: normal control, untreated, IB, BMP, and BMP + IB (n = 5/group). Backscattered electron imaging, Raman spectroscopy, and nanoindentation testing were performed. Both BMP and BMP + IB groups showed calcium content in the trabecular bone similar to the normal group, while the IB and no-treatment groups showed a significant increase in the calcium content compared to the normal group. The carbonate content relative to phosphate was significantly increased in the IB and BMP + IB groups (p < 0.01) compared to the normal group. No significant difference was found between the BMP and the normal group. The nanoindentation modulus of the bone in the IB group was significantly increased compared to the normal group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between the BMP and BMP + IB groups compared to the normal group. The nanoindentation hardness measurements in the IB group were also significantly increased compared to the BMP and BMP + IB groups (p < 0.05). In summary, trabecular bone treated with BMP or BMP + IB had material properties comparable to normal bone whereas the bone in the IB group retained the increased mineral content and the nanoindentation hardness found in the necrotic bone. Hence, BMP or BMP + IB better restores the normal mineral content and nanomechanical properties after ONFH than IB treatment alone. © 2016 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the association of 27-bp variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in intron 4 and G894T polymorphism in exon 7 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD), and to provide a scientific basis for further research into the pathogenic mechanism. A total of 80 patients with LCPD and 100 healthy subjects were recruited in this case-control study. The 27-bp VNTR and G894T polymorphisms of the eNOS gene were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism, respectively, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. Allelic and genotypic frequencies were computed in the two groups and subjected to statistical analysis. For the 27-bp VNTR polymorphism, individuals with LCPD showed a higher frequency of the ab genotype [27.5 vs. 14%; odds ratio (OR), 2.33; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.10-4.92; P=0.024]. For the G894T polymorphism, the LCPD case group showed a higher frequency of the heterozygous genotype GT than the healthy control group (35 vs. 17%; OR, 2.67; 95% CI, 1.33-5.36; P=0.005). The results indicate that these eNOS gene polymorphisms may be a risk factor for LCPD. The 27-bp VNTR polymorphism in intron 4 and G894T polymorphism in exon 7 may be involved in the etiology of LCPD.

Abstract
Severe osteoporotic diseases, such as Paget's disease, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and Legg Calve Perthes disease, lack treatments that address the pathobiology of the diseases, as well as, long-term and prospective studies. Bisphosphonates, which are known to dramatically hinder the viability of osteoclast cells, along with gold nanoparticles (GNP) are a potential theranostic for osteoporotic diseases. We evaluated GNP functionalized with two different bisphosphonates, namely, alendronate and pamidronate. RANKL differentiated murine pre-osteoclasts (Raw 264.7) and murine osteoblasts (7F2) were treated with varying concentrations ranging from 0.1-5 µM of free and GNP bound bisphosphonates. GNPs with an average size of ∼15 nm were functionalized with alendronate and pamidronate through surface modification by self-assembly. MTT viability assay results show no changes in viability of the osteoclasts when treated with free bisphosphonates in the range of 1-5 µM, but significant decrease on treatment with functionalized GNP at concentrations above the range of 0.1-1 µM depending on the bisphosphonate. Osteoblast cell viability is maintained at all but the highest concentrations used. Qualitative and quantitative characterization by Western Blot for RANKL expression in the osteoblast cell line shows that expression is largely maintained. These results provide a basis for methods that use bisphosphonate functionalized GNP in the treatment of osteoporotic bone diseases. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) are recombinant osteoinductive proteins with their primary role being to promote bone formation. The off-label use of BMP in orthopaedic surgery has dramatically increased. However, reports of complications with BMP have emerged, and the safety of these proteins in orthopaedics is questioned. The purpose of this review was to evaluate safe situations in which BMP should be used and situations in which their use should be restricted. METHOD We recorded all studies from PubMed database from 2002 (date of first authorisation for both BMPs) until January 2014 using "BMP" or "bone morphogenetic protein". Then we screened and extracted all studies dealing with orthopaedic surgery. All situations in which BMP were used, even cases reports, were considered, and complications reported were then listed. RESULTS Situations in which it seems safe and efficient to use BMP are long-bone nonunions, or arthrodesis as an alternative or combined to autograft in small-bone loss. Surgeons and patients should be aware of transient aseptic wound swelling when BMP is located superficially. The use of BMP in spine surgery for intersomatic fusion is efficient but should be restricted to approaches that respect the vertebral canal to avoid neurological complications. CONCLUSION This review is an off-label map of BMP use in orthopaedics during the past 10 years. Our results could provide a useful tool to help decisions around when to use a BMP in a specific complex, and sometimes off-label, situation.
