Orthopaedic devices

Prosthetic joint infections are clinically difficult to diagnose and treat. Previously, we demonstrated metagenomic sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq replicates the findings of current gold standard microbiological diagnostic techniques. Nanopore sequencing offers advantages in speed of detection over MiSeq.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are polymers, which are produced by microorganisms in the form of granules under unbalanced growth conditions. They are biocompatible, biodegradable and sustainable, which makes it suitable for synthesising biomedical apparatus. Devices such as sutures, orthopaedic devices, cardiovascular implants, implant patches can be prepared using different combinations of this polymer. The polymer and its composites being biodegradable and sustainable can take over the conventional plastics in near future.

Written by several respected experts in the field, "Biomaterials in Orthopedics" discusses bioabsorbable biomaterials for bone repair, nondegradable materials in orthopaedics and delivery systems. The topics in this text include biocompatibility and the biomaterial/tissue interface; self-reinforced bioabsorbable devices and guided regeneration; bone substitutes, including porous ceramics; and non-corrosive coatings for implants.

Daruwalla et al. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research 2010, 5:21 http://www.josr-online.com/content/5/1/21 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access An application of principal component analysis to the clavicle and clavicle fixation devices Zubin J Daruwalla1*, Patrick Courtis2, Clare Fitzpatrick2, David Fitzpatrick2, Hannan Mullett1 Abstract Background: Principal component analysis (PCA) enables the building of statistical shape models of bones and joints. This has been used in conjunction with computer assisted surgery in the past. However, PCA of the clavicle has not been performed.
