| A team of researchers at the University of Sydney in Australia is working on a new type of 3D implants that turn orthopedic drugs over and, for those who have experienced fractures, we all know that the treatment is time-consuming, costly and painful, and can not This is largely due to our orthopedic technique, where most fractured bones are treated alone and are usually accompanied by stiff fractures; in other cases, we need to use stale metal plates or screws to repair the bones.  But all of this may soon be over as 3D printing continues to offer new and viable alternatives.Recently, a professor and researcher from Hala Zreiqat, Sydney, and her colleague at the University Biomedical Engineering Department Although this may not be entirely surprising, Zreiqat's material choice may not necessarily be what you would expect: The latest contribution to the professor's orthopedic field is in the field of 3D printed ceramic implants, which not only helps To repair the broken bones, but with the actual fusion over time the natural bones will replace the broken parts. Zreiqat and her colleagues have been testing 3D printed ceramic materials for several years and have shown extraordinary promise for fracture healing in rabbits and the team recently considered sheep as a test subject in a new study Continued to produce positive results.3D printed ceramic implants successfully repair the thigh fractures of 8 sheep, clearly shows the advantages of new technology over conventional fracture treatment.New surgery, the sheep can walk immediately, only the One month of gypsum to help stabilize your legs. Time Continues to Show the Positive Implications of Implants: Researchers completely heal 25% of fractures in only three months and up to 88% a year later. Excitingly, when X-ray images show that ceramic implants successfully fuse into real bones during growth. What does this mean? Although rabbits and sheep may not be the same as humans, they are not biologically far-reaching, and if Zreiqat's research continues to prove successful, then in our global 3D printed ceramic bone planted This may be a short period of time before benefits are gained in the subject, which in turn can be attributed to faster healing times, less pain, and possibly even longer life expectancy in osteoporosis patients. |
