Regenerative Stenting for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture Repair
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are the most common complication of osteoporosis. Current treatment involves conventional procedures that inject cement into the vertebrae to stabilise the spine and relieve pain. No reparative treatment exists. Biomaterial-based treatments have had very limited success due to a number of complex challenges, such as providing dual therapeutic and mechanical functionalities to meet clinical requirements. Building on a wealth of experience in the area of materials processes, we propose the solution. RESTORE will initially overcome the problems with traditional biomaterials approaches by utilising recent advances in the area of advanced manufacturing and…
