An orthopaedic implant system includes an orthopaedic implant implantable at a selected location within a corporeal body. The implant includes a first structural material and a second structural material. The first structural material is non-resorbable relative to the corporeal body and is different relative to the second structural material. The implant is an internal fixation device.

An orthopaedic screw having a plurality of regions, at least one of which may be porous. The orthopaedic screw includes a head, a tip and at least one thread. The porosity of the screw of the present invention can vary within the part or region, including changes in pore shape, size and density. These characteristics can vary along the length of the screw axis and / or radially (from the outer diameter to the axis). The orthopaedic screw may further include at least one solid region formed of any implantable polymer, reinforced polymer or metal.

In certain aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods for promoting bone growth and increasing bone density, as well as for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

This invention provides SARM compounds and uses thereof in treating a variety of diseases or conditions in a subject, including, inter-alia, muscle wasting diseases and / or disorders, bone-related diseases and / or disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal disease and others.

In certain aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods for promoting bone growth and increasing bone density and strength. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides ALK3 polypeptides, including ALK3-Fc fusion proteins.

The invention discloses multifunctional medical biological bone cement. The multifunctional medical biological bone cement is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 5%-15% of polyacrylic acid microspheres, 20% of bioactive glass, 64.9%-74.9% of calcium phosphate bone cement and 0.1% of nanometer alendronate sodium microspheres, wherein the sum of the mass percentages of the raw materials is 100%. The multifunctional medical biological bone cement has the function of water absorption self-expansion; the using amount of the bone cement can be reduced, and further the leakage of the bone cement is reduced; the multifunctional medical biological bone cement has relatively good tissue compatibility, can be used for inducing the formation of new bones and enhancing the strength of vertebral bodies, is degradable in vivo without in vivo foreign matter residues; and meanwhile, the controlled-release alendronate sodium has the effects of resisting osteoporosis, reducing the absorption of bones and furthering enhancing the vertebral bodies. Therefore, the multifunctional medical biological bone cement has the advantages of little consumption, promotion of bone formation and bone absorption resistance when applied to vertebroplasty.

A stem-like bone implant includes longitudinal structural members and tension cables that provide curvature control and support, and rigidity against bending and buckling. The longitudinal structural members and tension cables may become an integral part of a composite regenerated bone having a substantially increased strength over natural bone. The flexibility of the implant is controlled by specifically varying the structural geometry of certain portions of the implant, and by adjusting the tension in the tension cables before, during and after the implantation operation to thereby adjust the stiffness of the implant. The tension cables may be adjusted to produce asymmetric or non-uniform levels of tension in the longitudinal structural members.

Methods of using an injectable or implantable rod-shaped formulation for delivery of osteogenic proteins to treat osteoporotic and / or osteopenic bone are disclosed. The formulation comprises hyaluronic acid derivatives and osteogenic proteins, and optional excipients and active ingredients such as a bone resorption inhibitor.
