Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a landmark annular lesion model on our understanding of the etiopathogenesis of IVD degeneration and to appraise current IVD repairative strategies. A number of studies have utilised the Osti sheep model since its development in 1990. The experimental questions posed at that time are covered in this review, as are significant recent advances in annular repair strategies. The ovine model has provided important spatial and temporal insights into the longitudinal development of annular lesions and how they impact on other discal and paradiscal components such as the NP, cartilaginous end plates, zygapophyseal joints and vertebral bone and blood vessels. Important recent advances have been made in biomatrix design for IVD repair and in the oriented and dynamic culture of annular fibrochondrocytes into planar, spatially relevant, annular type structures. The development of hyaluronan hydrogels capable of rapid in situ gelation offer the possibility of supplementation of matrices with cells and other biomimetics and represent a significant advance in biopolymer design. New generation biological glues and self-curing acrylic formulations which may be augmented with slow delivery biomimetics in microcarriers may also find application in the non-surgical repair of annular defects. Despite major advances, significant technical challenges still have to be overcome before the biological repair of this intractable connective tissue becomes a realistic alternative to conventional surgical intervention for the treatment of chronic degenerate IVDs.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern

25.04.2024 Gonarthrose Nachrichten

Ein arthroskopischer Eingriff bei Kniearthrose macht im Hinblick darauf, ob und wann ein Gelenkersatz fällig wird, offenbar keinen Unterschied.
