Mechanical Advantages of a Truss-structure-based Fracture Fixation System – a Novel Fracture Fixation Device "pinfix" –
A small, light, ball-joint device called PinFix, which can instantly convert a simple percutaneous cross pin fracture fixation system into a rigid external fracture fixation system based on truss structure, was developed. The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanical load and breaking strength of this truss-structure-based fixation system to that of the conventionally used external ca...
متن کاملRESPONSE OF METACARPAL FRACTURE FIXATION CONSTRUCTS TO PHYSIOLOGICAL LOADINGS
This study compares the functional capabilities of different metacarpal fixation constructs under physiological loadings in an attempt to identify the optimal construct rather than the strongest one. One hundred and twenty-six preserved human metacarpals were mechanically tested after oblique osteotomies and internal fixation. Maximum load to failure, average structural rigidity, and energ...
متن کاملChlorophyll Fluorescence: A Novel Method to Screen for Herbicide Resistance
The susceptibility to Terbacil of six randomly selected strawberry cultivars (‘Aromas’, ‘Chambly’, ‘Harmonie’, ‘Kent’, ‘La Clé des Champs’ and ‘Seascape’) was analysed using chlorophyll florescence (CF) in comparison with visual observation, in an attempt to develop a method for use in a breeding programme to select herbicide-resistant strawberry lines. Terbacil was applied at one of five rates...
متن کاملPosterior hip dislocation and ipsilateral isolated femoral neck fracture: A novel fixation method
It is accepted that a traumatic hip dislocation is a surgical emergency, this holds for the uncommon dislocation of the hip with femoral neck fracture however the surgical dilemma involves head salvage or replacement. This case report describes the method and technique for stabilisation of the rare and challenging isolated posterior hip dislocation with an ipsilateral femoral neck fracture. A 3...
متن کاملNovel Anterior Plating Technique for Patella Fracture Fixation.
Patella fracture fixation remains a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Although tension band fixation allows for reliable osseous union, especially in simple fracture patterns, it still presents several problems. Plate fixation of patella fractures is a method that allows for more rigid stabilization and earlier mobilization. At the authors' level 1 trauma center, one fellowship-tra...
