Thermoresponsive Injectable Microparticles-Gel Composites with Low Dose of Recombinant BMP-9 and VEGF for Bone Repair
Project ID: D2019-30 Background: With an estimated 6.3 million bone related injuries in the US, the cost for treating has skyrocketed. While autograft methods are associated with morbidity and pain along with high resorption rate, allograft methods are prone to a high risk of disease transmission and immunogenic rejection. Thus, there is an increasing...

Orthopedic Implants that are Safely Absorbed after the Body has Healed
Promotes new bone and prevents stress shielding to speed recoveryThese nontoxic biomedical implants stabilize fractures or temporarily assist the healing of damaged bone. The body safely absorbs these devices once they are no longer needed. Composed of a magnesium alloy that contains calcium and strontium, these implants not only mimic natural bone's...

Biocompatible, biodegradable polymer-based, lighter-than-water scaffold for bone tissue engineering
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY Successful clinical repair and regeneration of bone remain a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery. Currently, autografts are the clinically preferred grafting material for osseous repair and replacement. They are, however, limited in supply, restricted by anatomical incompatibilities and are often associated with...

Fixation and Reconstruction System for Ankle Fractures
Project ID: D2018-27Background Syndesmotic Ankle fractures are common, and sometimes challenging to treat clinically. These fractures are a common source of substantial patient morbidity. It is estimated that about 290,000 people suffer syndesmotic ankle injuries every year in the United States. Devices that are currently used to treat these ankle...

External Locking Fixation for Tibia Fractures
Project ID: D2018-25Background Extra-articular tibia fractures which include proximal tibia, diaphysis and distal tibia fractures are often associated with many serious complications and result in disability. Current treatment methods include the use of an intramedullary rod, an internal locking/unlocking plate, and an external fixator. However, these...

A Novel Process to Coat Implant Surfaces with Bi-Functional Bioactive Antibacterial Coatings
Project ID: D2017-07Background In the orthopedic field, there is a need for improved capabilities for creating strong osseointegration at bone-implant interfaces and treating bacterial infections. Implant-related infections occur in 0.75% in hip implants and 1.5% in knee implants resulting in reduced lifespan and increased failure rate of prosthesis,...

Cushion for relieving toe and distal foot pain
Approximately 60 million people in the US suffer from hammer toe, representing 20% of the population.The major shortcoming of current non-surgical options for treating hammer toe and other painful foot conditions is that hammer toe relief devices are fabricated from solid materials and therefore have a fixed structure. Even if these devices have been...
