A Novel Rat Model of Intramedullary Tibia Fracture Fixation Using Polyetheretherketone Threaded Rod
BACKGROUND The rat fracture fixation models have been widely adopted, but current implant designs suffer from operational difficulty, massive soft-tissue dissection, and radiological intervention. The authors developed a new tibia fracture-healing model using minor invasive intramedullary fixations with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) threaded rods, which have excellent x-ray translucency and no ma...
متن کاملNovel venting technique for intramedullary rod fixation of pathologic fractures.
This article introduces a novel technique to vent the femur and potentially decrease the embolic load created by reaming during intramedullary rod fixation of impending pathologic femur fractures. We used readily available operating room equipment to create a distal femoral vent hole without interfering with standard intramedullary instrumentation and with minimal increase in surgical time. Thi...
متن کاملNovel Venting Technique for Intramedullary Rod Fixation of Pathologic Fractures
Prophylactic intramedullary fi xation of impending pathologic fractures is an important preventative technique. Intramedullary rods provide longitudinal structural support, protecting weakened cortices from fracture displacement, providing pain relief, and allowing for restoration of function.1,2 In the femur, prophylactic stabilization of an impending fracture in a metastatic tumor population ...
متن کاملeffect of pentoxifylline administration on an experimental rat model of femur fracture healing with intramedullary fixation
results daily administration of 50 mg/kg ptx (groups 1 and 2) decreased the high stress load in repairing osteotomized femurs when compared with the control group. the highest dose of ptx (200 mg/kg) significantly increased the high stress load when compared with the control group (p = 0.030), group 1 (p = 0.023), group 2 (p = 0.008), and group 3 (p = 0.010), per the lsd findings. materials and...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of a locking compression plate combined with an intramedullary pin or a polyetheretherketone rod in a cadaveric canine tibia gap model.
OBJECTIVE To compare the biomechanical properties of a 10-hole 3.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) with 2 proximal and 2 distal bicortical locked screws reinforced with either a Steinmann pin of 30-40% the medullary diameter or a poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) rod of ∼75% the medullary diameter in a cadaveric tibia gap model. STUDY DESIGN Ex vivo study. SAMPLE POPULATION Cadaveric canine...
