Higher levels of novel tibia and blood epigenetic biomarkers of lead exposure were associated with increased CVD mortality risk in American Indian men, researchers reported.

Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. has announced FDA 510(k) clearance of its Persona OsseoTi keel tibia for patients undergoing cementless total knee replacement, according to a company press release.

U.S. Army recruits taking a daily calcium and vitamin D supplement during basic training had no change in tibial microarchitecture compared with placebo, according to study data published in Bone.

Stability plays a key role in primary total knee arthroplasty for patients and affects their overall satisfaction, making it an important consideration for orthopedic surgeons during planning and execution of the procedure.

Tibial shaft fractures have an incidence of 16.9 per 100,000 people per year. Men aged 10 to 20 years tend to sustain these fractures, whereas women aged 20 to 30 years tend to sustain these injuries. The mechanisms of injury include low-energy twisting injuries or high-energy trauma which portend a high risk of associated soft tissue injury due to the subcutaneous location of the tibia. Treatment options are largely dictated by integrity of the soft tissue envelope and location of the fracture.
