Study Design. A systematic review of the literature, pertaining surgical treatment of traumatic
thoracic and lumbar spine fractures, was performed. Objectives. To provide information on …

Organ printing, a novel approach in tissue engineering, applies layered computer-driven
deposition of cells and gels to create complex 3-dimensional cell-laden structures. It shows …

Bone regeneration is a complex process regulated by a large number of bioactive molecules.
Many growth factors and cytokines involved in the natural process of bone healing have …

Organ or tissue printing, a novel approach in tissue engineering, creates layered, cell-laden
hydrogel scaffolds with a defined three-dimensional (3D) structure and organized cell …

Disc prosthesis surgery is rapidly becoming an option in treating patients with symptomatic
degenerative disc disease. Only short-term and midterm results are described in the literature…

Our aim was to define the minimum set of patient-reported outcome measures which are
required to assess health status after total hip replacement (THR). In 114 patients, we compared …

This investigation describes the production and characterization of calcium phosphate scaffolds
with defined and reproducible porous macro‐architectures and their preliminary in vitro …

Study Design. Clinical trial (phase II). Objectives. To assess the feasibility and safety of
balloon vertebroplasty after posterior short-segment reduction and fixation for the treatment of …

In this study we investigated the bone-forming capacity of tissue-engineered (TE) constructs
implanted ectopically in goats. As cell survival is questionable in large animal models, we …

We have studied the intervertebral discs adjacent to fractured vertebral bodies using MRI in
63 patients at a minimum of 18 months after injury. There were 75 thoracolumbar fractures of …
