Join StageBio for our complimentary webinar, “Medical Device Safety - How to Improve Histopathological Evaluations,” on Friday, December 2 at 1pmEST presented by Dr. Serge Rousselle, Distinguished Pathologist.

With this blog post, we are closely reviewing a portion of the 2019 article "Histopathological Evaluation of Orthopedic Medical Devices: The State-of-the-art in Animal Models, Imaging, and Histomorphometry Techniques", by Nicolette Jackson, Michel Assad, Derick Vollmer, James Stanley, and Madeleine Chagnon.

Histomorphometry is a valuable tool when used in conjunction with histopathological evaluation to assess the healing of bioresorbable or biostable orthopedic implants.

For clinical indications in spine, trauma, joint, sports medicine and even soft tissue regeneration fields, orthopedic medical devices continue to evolve in both their intended mechanical actions and with the use of new, more advanced materials.

Histopathological Evaluation of Orthopedic Medical Devices: Definitions and Types of Orthopedic Materials Orthopedic biomaterials materials play an essential role in the fixation of fractures. The materials are continuously evolving with new ones coming into the market regularly. All Orthopedic surgeons require a broad range of knowledge of these materials to stay abreast of this dynamic field.
