Development of a Bisphosphonate Delivering Hydrogel for the Augmentation of Impaired Peri-Implant Bone

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in our aging society. This metabolic disease, which is characterized by a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture and a significant loss of bone mass, is affecting a rising number of mostly elderly patients. The m ...

Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Peter Ryser, Arnaud Bertsch, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...

Does locally delivered Zoledronate influence peri-implant bone formation? – Spatio-temporal monitoring of bone remodeling in vivo

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger, Julien Ston

Bisphosphonates are known for their strong inhibitory effect on bone resorption. Their influence on bone formation however is less clear. In this study we investigated the spatio-temporal effect of locally delivered Zoledronate on peri-implant bone formati ...

Injectable calcium phosphate cement for augmentation around cancellous bone screws. In vivo biomechanical studies

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann

In lower cancellous apparent bone density, it can be difficult to achieve adequate screw fixation and hence stable fracture fixation. Different strategies have been proposed, one of them is through augmentation using calcium phosphate cement in the region ...

In vivo assessment of local effects after application of bone screws delivering bisphosphonates into a compromised cancellous bone site

Dominique Pioletti, Alireza Roshan Ghias

Background: The primary stability of cancellous screw is difficult to obtain in bone of compromised quality and failure of screw fixation is common. To overcome this problem, it is proposed to locally deliver bisphosphonate from the screw An in vivo valida ...

Combined effects of zoledronate and mechanical stimulation on bone adaptation in an axially loaded mouse tibia

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann

Background: Local bisphosphonate delivery may be a solution to prevent periprosthetic bone loss and improve orthopedic implants fixation. In load-bearing implants, periprosthetic bone is exposed to high mechanical demands, which in normal conditions induce ...
