While special implants, such as screws, pins or plates have long been use to secure bone fractures, their use has one drawback: when the injury has healed, the implants must be removed surgically.
. A German project funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and implemented by the ZIM (the Central Innovation Programme for small and medium-sized enterprises) within the scope of its Bioplastics cooperation network aims to develop an alternative approach. Four companies and two universities have joined forces in an effort to create a bioplastic “bone cement” that is able to fix the fracture with no further implants needed, allowing secondary surgical intervention to be avoided and thus reducing the risk of postoperative complications.
These companies: Munich-based FABES Forschungs-GmbH, InnoTere GmbH from Radebeul, provenion GmbH from Kirchseeon and Unavera ChemLab GmbH from Mittenwald, in collaboration with researchers from the University Hospital Ulm and the German University in Cairo (GUC), are seeking to develop a biopolymer over the next three years that can be simply applied as an adhesive to the bone parts, fusing them together again. The principle: the porous polymer is replaced over time by regrown bone and gradually decomposed by the body during healing. The so-called “bone cement” will also be used to heal complicated bone fractures. In the meantime, however, it will be used for smaller bone fractures such as bones in the hand or face.
As the biopolymer will be used inside the human body, it will have to meet a host of extremely stringent requirements. While the most obvious of these is biocompatibility, the new biopolymers may also contain np toxic substances and be able to interact with body fluids such as blood. The researchers have identified a biopolymer, which they will first be studying in cell cultures, prior to testing this new adhesive on animals.(KL)
