Abstract:
In recent years, graphene and its derivatives have gained wide attention in the biomedical field due to their good physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and bioactivity. Its good antibacterial, osteoinductive and drug-carrying properties make it a promising application in the field of orthopedic biomaterials. This paper introduces the research progress of graphene and its derivatives in bone tissue engineering and cartilage tissue engineering and presents an outlook on the future development of graphene-based materials in orthopedics.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
