Evaluation of antibiotic-impregnated microspheres for the prevention of implant-associated orthopaedic infections.
Catherine G. Ambrose,Terry A. Clyburn,Joerg Mika,Gloria R. Gogola,Heidi B. Kaplan,Audrey Wanger,Antonios G. Mikos +6 more
TL;DR: Antibiotic delivery utilizing the system described here may be effective in preventing implant-associated infections after orthopaedic surgery and increasing the longevity of orthopointedic implants.

Low-dose BMP-2 is sufficient to enhance the bone formation induced by an injectable, PLGA fiber-reinforced, brushite-forming cement in a sheep defect model of lumbar osteopenia.
Francesca Gunnella,Elke Kunisch,Matthias Bungartz,Stefan Maenz,Victoria Horbert,Long Xin,Joerg Mika,Juliane Borowski,Sabine Bischoff,Harald Schubert,Peter Hortschansky,Andre Sachse,Bernhard Illerhaus,Jens Günster,Jörg Bossert,Klaus D. Jandt,Frank Plöger,Raimund W. Kinne,Olaf Brinkmann +18 more
TL;DR: BMP-2 significantly enhanced the bone formation induced by a PLGA fiber-reinforced CPC in sheep lumbar osteopenia, and may represent an alternative to the bioinert, supraphysiologically stiff polymethylmethacrylate cement presently used to treat osteoporotic vertebral fractures by vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty.

First-time systematic postoperative clinical assessment of a minimally invasive approach for lumbar ventrolateral vertebroplasty in the large animal model sheep.
Matthias Bungartz,Stefan Maenz,Elke Kunisch,Victoria Horbert,Long Xin,Francesca Gunnella,Joerg Mika,Juliane Borowski,Sabine Bischoff,Harald Schubert,Andre Sachse,Bernhard Illerhaus,Jens Günster,Jörg Bossert,Klaus D. Jandt,Raimund W. Kinne,Olaf Brinkmann +16 more
TL;DR: This first-time systematic clinical assessment of a minimally invasive, ventrolateral, lumbar vertebroplasty model in aged, osteopenic sheep resulted in short operation times, rapid postoperative recovery, and high experimental reproducibility.

Surgical Preparation for Articular Cartilage Regeneration Without Penetration of the Subchondral Bone Plate: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies in Humans and Sheep
Joerg Mika,Thomas O. Clanton,David Pretzel,Gerlind Schneider,Catherine G. Ambrose,Raimund W. Kinne +5 more
TL;DR: Traditional debridement techniques for ACI/ACT using a ring curette do not violate the normal subchondral bone plate in vitro or in vivo, and the standard technique appears suitable for studies on cartilage regeneration in cases of traumatic and possibly even osteoarthritic defects.

GDF5 significantly augments the bone formation induced by an injectable, PLGA fiber-reinforced, brushite-forming cement in a sheep defect model of lumbar osteopenia
Matthias Bungartz,Elke Kunisch,Stefan Maenz,Victoria Horbert,Long Xin,Francesca Gunnella,Joerg Mika,Juliane Borowski,Sabine Bischoff,Harald Schubert,Andre Sachse,Bernhard Illerhaus,Jens Günster,Jörg Bossert,Klaus D. Jandt,Frank Plöger,Raimund W. Kinne,Olaf Brinkmann +17 more
TL;DR: GDF5 significantly enhanced the bone formation induced by a PLGA fiber-reinforced CPC in sheep lumbar osteopenia, and may qualify as an alternative to the bioinert, supraphysiologically stiff poly(methyl methacrylate) cement currently applied for vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
