Orthopaedic bionic treatment—an eternal pursuit of the development of orthopedic science / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Skeletal musculoskeletal disorders which are the focus of osteology are characterized by“structural disorders and functional disability”. How to maximize the restoration of musculoskeletal function at the minimum cost is the goal of osteology. With the innovation of treatment concept and technology，orthopedic biomimetic treatment technique represented by artificial bone and joint replacement has gradually replaced the previous bone and joint fusion surgery and become a new breakthrough in the treatment of musculoskeletal system diseases. By reviewing the development history of biomimetic and on the basis of the original biomimetic medicine，the author puts forward a new concept of orthopaedic bionic treatment（OBT），and expounds its connotation and development in order to explore a new direction to solve the problems of orthopedic treatment. The continuous development of OBT will drive fundamental changes in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. The combination of OBT “biomimetic alternative therapy”and“biomimetic natural therapy” will achieve “anatomical reconstruction” and “functional recovery” of skeletal muscle system.
