Fixing a Loose Screw - Qin Ling experiments with bioactive implants |
| |
 Date: 22/3/2018
It was through painful personal experience that Prof. Qin Ling first got interested in improving the way that doctors fix difficult fractures. But a fateful day on the ski slopes led him to a lifelong interest that he hopes will lead to improved surgical implants for all.
Instead of the permanent titanium plates or screws used now, Professor Qin's experimental implants simply dissolve within the body, reducing the risk of infection or the need for removal. That's because they are made of magnesium rather than the hard metal that's currently used.
Magnesium is a micronutrient that the body needs to consume regularly, and is present in our diet. So as well as dissolving naturally, the new orthopedic implants have a secondary benefit in that they serve as a supplement of sorts to the body's natural function. Magnesium is a 'bioactive' implant, whereas titanium or steel are 'bioinert.'
Professor Qin may not have happened down that path at all, were it not for a life-changing experience. He was one of the earliest participants in competitive skibob races, skiing contests where riders direct a tricycle-with-skis down the slope as fast as possible. The new federation promoting skibob as a contest invited participants from as many nations as possible to take part.
Professor Qin was studying for his doctorate at the German Sport University in Cologne at the time, and gladly accepted the invitation to race a skibob. He participated in three world-championship races, but met his match in the form of a black-rated piste at the Swiss resort of Davos.
He was unable to turn quickly enough in the race and ended up careening off-piste. In the resulting crash, he fractured his cheekbone in two places. He jumped at the chance when doctors said they could rejoin the bones in his face with a stainless-steel implant.
'When people get injured they are happy to be operated on as soon as possible,' Professor Qin says.
But within a year, his doctors advised him that the wire join would have to be removed. The worry was that micro-movements around the eye socket could ultimately lead to infection. To have to suffer through a second major surgery on his face was a devastating blow. 'The psychological burden is greater than the financial one,' he explains.
His experience led him to study fracture repair. Ultimately, he began working with magnesium as a metal to help secure fracture sites.
Magnesium does not have the strength of permanent metallic implants such as titanium. That actually proves an advantage since the bones involved gradually strengthen around the join site. With a titanium implant, the body learns to rely on the metal for stabilization, and the bone does not regrow as well...[more]

Straighten Up: Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology |
| |
 Date: 20/10/2017
Nicholas Andry was a French physician who holds an important place in the history of orthopaedics, as it was he who forged the word Orthopédie, derived from the Greek words ortho (straight) and paideia (child-rearing), in a book published in 1741. Outside of medicine, the principal impact of the book derives from the engraving on the frontispiece, which shows a crooked sapling tied to a straight stake, a metaphor for the correction of deformities in children. The splinted 'Tree of Andry' has since become the symbol for many orthopaedic organizations around the world, including that for the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of CUHK.
The tree in the Department's logo is a Bauhinia, indicated by its heart-shaped leaves. In 1982 when the Department was established by Prof. P.C. Leung, the Bauhinia blakeana—a flower which blooms profusely in the winter—had served as the floral insignia of Hong Kong for around two decades. The plume of green hearts, big and small, also suggests that being an orthopaedist or traumatologist takes much heart and dedication. The English name of the department crowns the canopy.
The crooked trunk symbolizes the deformed spine of a child. It is tied to a post with the Chinese name of the Department inscribed vertically on it, which takes the form of one of the four Chinese pillars at the University's main entrance on Tai Po Road. Known as huabiao, the pillar is a traditional Chinese symbol of responsibility, nobility and rectitude.
Some 270 years ago Andry recommended to correct a bent leg by bandaging it to an iron plate as was commonly done to straighten a crooked young tree. Back then it was a revolutionary idea, but orthopaedic surgery technologies have been evolving for the past centuries, starting from the biocompatible metal instruments used to reposition joints and continuing through to modern laser techniques. The two parallel bars of fixators in the Department's logo represent modern orthopaedics and traumatology, as compared with the squiggly rope used to tie the sapling in the original Tree of Andry.
Designed by Prof. Leung Kwok-sui and his former student Dr. Paul Liu, the logo unites tradition with innovation, East with West, an approach that resonates well with the core mission of the University.

CUHK Introduces New Material for Osteoporosis-related Bone Fracture Effectively Reduces Healing Time and Enhances Bone Strength Both by 30% |
| |
 Date: 24/7/2015
The Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) recently developed an innovative bone implant by combining biodegradable magnesium (Mg) and conventional metals, which can be used for bone fixation in patients with osteoporotic fractures. With positive results in pre-clinical studies, the new material and design have proved not only able to reduce the healing time and enhance the strength of the fractured bone, both by 30%, but also possibly avoid a second fracture. The result of this research has recently been awarded a silver medal in the 43rd International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva. With the support from the Collaborative Research Fund of the Research Grants Council, the innovation is expected to be applied to osteoporotic-related bone fracture after verification through clinical studies in the future.
Since 2009, The Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at CUHK has been investigating the use of Mg in the development of biodegradable implants fixation, designed for treatment of osteoporotic bone fractures and related orthopedic applications.
The research team revealed that Mg-based bone screws share similar mechanical properties with human bone and are biodegradable in the human body. In addition, Mg’s bone formation function promotes healing at the bone fracture. Pre-clinical studies showed that Mg-based implant can shorten healing time and improve bone strength of the fractured bone, both by 30%. With the application of Mg screws, the number of holes left after implant removal surgery will be reduced, thus a second fracture may be avoided.
The principal investigator, Professor Qin Ling, Professor (non-clinical), Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, CUHK pointed out, ‘Our team discovered that the magnesium ions degraded from the Mg-based orthopedic implant stimulate the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), an osteoanabolic peptide, from the periosteum in long bones. CGRP promotes the osteogenic differentiation of the pluripotent periosteum-derived stem cells (PDSCs) to form new bone and replace the hole left by degraded Mg-based implants. Therefore, Mg-based implant accelerates and enhances bone healing. Besides, magnesium is relatively cheap. The use of Mg-based implants is estimated to decrease material costs by 50%. If the new implants are applied to a clinical setting, the cost of related health care may be significantly reduced in the long run.

3D Imaging System to Help Orthopaedic Patients |
| |
 Date: 24/7/2015
The Faculty of Medicine of CUHK recently introduced the low dose EOS 2D/3D imaging system, one of the state-of-the-art imaging technologies to enhance orthopaedic diagnosis and attain optimal treatment. The new system commenced service at the Prince of Wales Hospital (PWH) in June 2015. It not only generates 3D images automatically for more accurate assessment of the patient’s condition, but also shortens half of the check-up time, with the radiation dosage produced 90% less than that of the conventional X-ray.
As one of the referral centers for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, PWH has about 1,000 new cases and 3,000 follow-up cases each year. Many of these patients require X-ray examination every half year to monitor their spinal growth and treatment progress, and some may even need life-long follow-up. The new system can avoid exposing patients to large radiation doses repeatedly under conventional X-ray. Other patients will also benefit from the new system, such as adults with spinal problems, those who undergo total hip and knee replacement surgery, and people with leg length discrepancy.
