However, the physiologic loading of the hip joint during a normal gait is a multiplanar, dynamic movement. Therefore, we constructed a system to test osteosyntheses for hip fractures under physiologic multiplanar loading representative of normal gait. To evaluate the testing system, 12 femora pairs were tested under 25,000 cycles with two standard osteosyntheses (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation/Gamma3 Nail). For angular movement, the varus collapse to cut out (∝CO) (∝CO=4.8°±2.1° for blade and ∝CO=7.8°±3.8° for screw) was the dominant failure mode, and only slight rotational angle shifts (∝Rot) (∝Rot=1.7°±0.4° for blade and ∝Rot=2.4°±0.3° for screw) of the femoral head around the implant axis were observed. Angular displacements in varus direction and rotation were higher in specimens reinforced with screws. Hence, the cut out model and the migration directions showed a distinction between helical blade and hip screw. However, there were no significant differences between the different implants. The new setup is able to create clinical failures and allows to give evidence about the anchorage stability of different implant types under dynamic gait motion pattern.}, subject = {H{\"u}ftgelenk}, language = {en} } @article{PrantlEigenbergerGehmertetal., author = {Prantl, Lukas and Eigenberger, Andreas and Gehmert, Sebastian and Haerteis, Silke and Aung, Thiha and Rachel, Reinhard and Jung, Ernst Michael and Felthaus, Oliver}, title = {Enhanced Resorption of Liposomal Packed Vitamin C Monitored by Ultrasound}, series = {Journal of Clinical Medicine}, volume = {9}, journal = {Journal of Clinical Medicine}, number = {6}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/jcm9061616}, pages = {1 -- 12}, abstract = {Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for humans and is involved in a plethora of health-related functions.

In this study, we wanted to show a new formulation for the liposomal packaging of vitamin C. Using freeze etching electron microscopy, we show the formed liposomes. With a novel approach of post-processing procedures of real-time sonography that combines enhancement effects by contrast-like ultrasound with a transducer, we wanted to demonstrate the elevated intestinal vitamin C resorption on four participants. With the method presented in this study, it is possible to make use of the liposomal packaging of vitamin C with simple household materials and equipment for intake elevation.

We enrolled 60 patients (28 CAS FF/32 CON) and invited them for gait analysis at three time points (preoperatively, postop six months, and postop 12 months). Data retrieved from gait analysis was processed using patient-specific musculoskeletal models. The target parameters were hip reaction force magnitude (hrf), symmetries, and orientation with respect to the cup. Hrf in the CAS FF group were closer to a young healthy normal. Phase-shift symmetry showed an increase in the CAS FF group. Hrf orientation in the CAS FF group was closer to optimum, though no edge or rim-loading occurred in the CON group as well. The CAS FF group showed an improved hrf orientation in an early stage and a trend to an improved long-term outcome.}, subject = {H{\"u}ftgelenkprothese}, language = {en} } @article{PfeiferMuellerPrantletal., author = {Pfeifer, Christian and M{\"u}ller, Michael and Prantl, Lukas and Berner, Arne and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Englert, Carsten}, title = {Cartilage labelling for mechanical testing in T-peel configuration}, series = {International Orthopaedics}, volume = {36}, journal = {International Orthopaedics}, number = {7}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s00264-011-1468-3}, pages = {1493 -- 1499}, abstract = {PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to find a suitable method of labelling cartilage samples for the measurement of distraction distances in biomechanical testing. METHODS: Samples of bovine cartilage were labelled using five different methods: hydroquinone and silver nitrate (AgNO3), potassium permanganate (KMnO4) with sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3), India ink, heat, and laser energy. After the labelling, we analysed the cartilage samples with regard to cytotoxity by histochemical staining with ethidiumbromide homodimer (EthD-1) and calcein AM. Furthermore, we tested cartilages labelled with India ink and heat in a T-peel test configuration to analyse possible changes in the mechanical behaviour between marked and unlabelled samples. RESULTS: Only the labelling methods with Indian ink or a heated needle showed acceptable results in the cytotoxity test with regard to labelling persistence, accuracy, and the influence on consistency and viability of the chondrocytes. In the biomechanical T-peel configuration, heat-labelled samples collapsed significantly earlier than unlabelled samples. CONCLUSION: Labelling bovine cartilage samples with Indian ink in biomechanical testing is a reliable, accurate, inexpensive, and easy-to-perform method. This labelling method influenced neither the biomechanical behaviour nor the viability of the tissue compared to untreated bovine cartilage.}, subject = {Knorpel}, language = {en} } @article{WongRasmussenSimonsenetal., author = {Wong, Christian and Rasmussen, John and Simonsen, Erik B. and Hansen, Lone and de Zee, Mark and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {The Influence of Muscle Forces on the Stress Distribution in the Lumbar Spine}, series = {The Open Spine Journal}, volume = {3}, journal = {The Open Spine Journal}, number = {1}, doi = {10.2174/1876532701103010021}, pages = {21 -- 26}, abstract = {Introduction: Previous studies of bone stresses in the human lumbar spine have relied on simplified models when modeling the spinal musculature, even though muscle forces are likely major contributors to the stresses in the vertebral bones. Detailed musculoskeletal spine models have recently become available and show good correlation with experimental findings. A combined inverse dynamics and finite element analysis study was conducted in the lumbar spine to investigate the effects of muscle forces on a detailed musculoskeletal finite element model of the 4th lumbar vertebral body. Materials and Methodology: The muscle forces were computed with a detailed and validated inverse dynamics musculoskeletal spine model in a lifting situation, and were then applied to an orthotropic finite element model of the 4th lumbar vertebra. The results were compared with those from a simplified load case without muscles. Results: In general the von Mises stress was larger by 30\%, and even higher when looking at the von Mises stress distribution in the superio-anterior and central part of the vertebral body and in the pedicles. Conclusion: The application of spine muscles to a finite element model showed markedly larger von Mises stress responses in the central and anterior part of the vertebral body, which can be tolerated in the young and healthy spine, but it would increase the risk of compression fractures in the elderly, osteoporotic spine.}, subject = {Lendenwirbels{\"a}ule}, language = {en} } @article{RoldanMoralisDendorferetal., author = {Rold{\´a}n, J.C. and Moralis, A. and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Witte, J. and Reicheneder, C.}, title = {Controlled central advancement of the midface after Le Fort III osteotomy by a 3-point skeletal anchorage}, series = {The Journal of craniofacial surgery}, volume = {22}, journal = {The Journal of craniofacial surgery}, number = {6}, doi = {10.1097/SCS.0b013e318231fc8d}, pages = {2384 -- 2386}, abstract = {A 3-point skeletal anchorage with taping screws for distraction osteogenesis after a Le Fort III osteotomy was applied for the first time in a severely mentally impaired patient where intraoral devices had to be avoided.

For trabecular bone structures only a few sets of lifetime data have been reported in the literature and structural measures are commonly not considered. The influence of load contributions not aligned with the main physiological axis remains unclear. Furthermore age effects on the fatigue behaviour are not well described. In the present study, different groups of human vertebral cancellous bone were exposed to cyclic compression. The inital modulus and therefore lifetimes were found to be highly dependent on age. The decrease in both with increasing age was much more pronounced in specimens which were not aligned with the main physiological axis. This implies that old bone is much more sensitive to (cyclic) failure loads in general but particularly to loads which are not coincident with the physiological main axis.}, subject = {Knochenbruch}, language = {en} } @article{PrantlEigenbergerKleinetal., author = {Prantl, Lukas and Eigenberger, Andreas and Klein, Silvan and Limm, Katharina and Oefner, Peter J. and Schratzenstaller, Thomas and Felthaus, Oliver}, title = {Shear Force Processing of Lipoaspirates for Stem Cell Enrichment Does Not Affect Secretome of Human Cells Detected by Mass Spectrometry In Vitro}, series = {Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery}, volume = {146}, journal = {Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery}, number = {6}, publisher = {American Society of Plastic Surgeons}, doi = {10.1097/PRS.0000000000007343}, pages = {749e -- 758e}, abstract = {Background: Lipofilling is one of the most often performed surgical procedures in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Lipoaspirates provide a ready source of stem cells and secreted factors that contribute to neoangiogenesis and fat graft survival. However, the regulations about the enrichment of these beneficial cells and factors are ambiguous. In this study, the authors tested whether a combination of centrifugation and homogenization allowed the enrichment of viable stem cells in lipoaspirates through the selective removal of tumescent solution, blood, and released lipids without significantly affecting the cell secretome. Methods: Human lipoaspirate was harvested from six different patients using water jet-assisted liposuction. Lipoaspirate was homogenized by first centrifugation (3584 rpm for 2 minutes), shear strain (10 times intersyringe processing), and second centrifugation (3584 rpm for 2 minutes). Stem cell enrichment was shown by cell counting after stem cell isolation. Lipoaspirate from different processing steps (unprocessed, after first centrifugation, after homogenization, after second centrifugation) was incubated in serum-free cell culture medium for mass spectrometric analysis of secreted proteins. Results: Lipoaspirate homogenization leads to a significant 2.6 ± 1.75-fold enrichment attributable to volume reduction without reducing the viability of the stem cells. Protein composition of the secretome did not change significantly after tissue homogenization. Considering the enrichment effects, there were no significant differences in the protein concentration of the 83 proteins found in all processing steps. Conclusions: Stem cells can be enriched mechanically without significantly affecting the composition of secreted proteins. Shear-assisted enrichment of lipoaspirate constitutes no substantial manipulation of the cells' secretome.}, language = {en} }
