TL;DR: The available evidence for the different treatment options available for the management of bone defects is reviewed.

Radiographic Classification of Osteogenesis During Bone Distraction
TL;DR: There is no radiographic classification system that shows how the regenerate should progress during treatment in adults, and the study aimed to address this need.

Growth factors and bone regeneration: how much bone can we expect?
TL;DR: Current available evidence for the application of growth factors for bone regeneration, with a focus on the clinical evidence for BMP use is reviewed, and emerging pre-clinical and clinicalEvidence for growth factors other than the BMPs is discussed.

TL;DR: EPCs offer the potential to emerge as a new strategy among other cell-based therapies to promote bone regeneration and increase vascularization and osteogenesis by increased secretion of growth factors and cytokines through paracrine mechanisms.

The effect of intramedullary reaming on a diaphyseal bone defect of the tibia.
TL;DR: It is suggested that limited reaming may be beneficial to the acute management of tibial shaft fractures with a bone defect for two scenarios, namely, when theBone defect is left empty and when the bone defect is treated with autograft.
