    摘要: An arthroplasty device is provided having an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel that is strain-hardened by swelling and adapted to be held in place in a joint by conforming to a bone geometry. The strain-hardened IPN hydrogel is based on two different networks: (1) a non-silicone network of preformed hydrophilic non-ionic telechelic macromonomers chemically cross-linked by polymerization of its end-groups, and (2) a non-silicone network of ionizable monomers. The second network was polymerized and chemically cross-linked in the presence of the first network and has formed physical cross-links with the first network. Within the IPN, the degree of chemical cross-linking in the second network is less than in the first network. An aqueous salt solution (neutral pH) is used to ionize and swell the second network. The swelling of the second network is constrained by the first network resulting in an increase in effective physical cross-links within the IPN.

    摘要: The invention presents a method and device for increasing the fracture resistance of a bone tissue to a traumatic force. The method includes the step of selecting a nonphysiological impulse force having a location and direction resembling that of the traumatic force, but having a magnitude significantly smaller than the magnitude of the traumatic force. The impulse force is then repeatedly applied to the bone tissue, thereby stimulating the bone tissue to grow bone mass in critical areas where stresses from the traumatic force are largest. A device for applying the method includes an impulse force applicator for repeatedly applying the impulse force and a positioner for positioning the impulse force relative to the bone tissue.

    摘要: A method for in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro regeneration of cartilage, collagen and bone remodeling by intermittently applied hydrostatic pressure consisting of repeated periods of applied hydrostatic pressure followed and interrupted by periods of recovery. The intermittent hydrostatic pressure is applied at physiological levels 5-10 MPA for an interval of 4 hours followed by a recovery period up to about 20 hours. The interval loading results in the selective inhibition of matrix degrading enzymes, pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that attract inflammatory cells into the joint cavity and in selective decrease of gene expression of growth factors that are inhibitory to type II collagen expression.

    摘要: The present invention comprises an elongated bone fixation plate with a center portion which bridges the fracture site. The central portion has a square cross-sectional shape. Two oppositely directed end portions extend axially from the central portion. The central portion has a width which is substantially less than the width of the end portions of the bone fixation plate. The end portions of the bone fixation plate have a plurality of elongated holes and each end portion tapers in thickness from adjacent the central portion to the outer terminating ends of the fixation plate. The plurality of holes are elongated in nature with each hole having a vertical distal wall and an inclined proximal end wall sloping toward the vertical distal wall. Each end portion has a uniform width and the entire bottom surface of each end portion may be concave in shape so as to provide a complementary mating surface with the fractured bone. By employing cortical or cancellous bone screws having a head whose bottom surface is rounded, the bone fixation plate draws each bone piece toward one another and places the bone pieces in compression at the fracture site when the plate and screws are fully secured to the bone.
