Primary stability of bone-patellar tendon-bone graft fixation with biodegradable pins.
PURPOSE We evaluated the initial bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft fixation strength of biodegradable pins compared with interference screws in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bovine knees. TYPE OF STUDY Biomechanical in vitro study. METHODS Ten BPTB grafts from human donors fixed with 2 biodegradable 2.7-mm pins (Rigid Fix; Ethicon, Mitek Division, Norderstedt, Germany...
متن کاملBiomechanical characteristics of allogeneic cortical bone pins designed for fracture fixation.
The biomechanical characteristics of 1.2 mm diameter allogeneic cortical bone pins harvested from the canine tibia were evaluated and compared to 1.1 mm diameter stainless steel pins and 1.3 mm diameter polydioxanone (PDS) pins using impact testing and four-point bending. The biomechanical performance of allogeneic cortical bone pins using impact testing was uniform with no significant differen...
متن کاملHydroxyapatite coating of threaded pins enhances fixation.
We measured the insertion and extraction torque forces in a randomised study of 76 external fixation screws in 19 patients treated by hemicallotasis for osteoarthritis of the medial side of the knee. The patients were randomised to have either standard tapered screws (Orthofix 6/5 mm) or the same screws with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating. One patient had two standard and two HA-coated screws. All...
متن کاملTransphyseal Fracture of the Distal Humerus in a Neonate
An 18-hour-old neonate was found to have absent movement of the left arm and a mildly edematous elbow following precipitous delivery with observed traction applied to the left arm. Radiographs (Figure 1) showed abnormal elbow alignment without osseous fracture and a moderate joint effusion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [Figure 2] revealed a transverse fracture through the distal left humera...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic patellar fracture fixation using suture anchors.
Treatment of type II periprosthetic patellar fractures presents difficulties in decision-making particularly when displacement is greater than 10 mm. Poor results have been reported with internal fixation, whereas conservative management has been associated with a high incidence of extensor lag. This article reports a patient with a displaced type II patellar fracture following total knee arthr...
