Complex fractures provide a unique challenge to the musculoskeletal surgeon. Traditional fracture reduction techniques are not always feasible, and often difficult depending on the anatomic area involved. We describe a novel technique, called layered plating, which can ease anatomic reduction and fixation of complex fractures. The aim of this paper was to describe 3 applications for layered pla...

Electroless nickel plating baths have to be discarded when levels of phosphites build up and interfere with the plating process. OWMC funded research conducted at ORTECH International to determine whether phosphites could be removed from plating bath solution. The first attempt to do this by adsorption on flyash was unsuccessful. However, the use of calcium ion to precipitate calcium phosphite ...

Determination of the characteristic CP-violating quantity sin(2β) should be the central goal of a B-meson factory in its first-round experiments. Except the gold-plated channels B d → ψK S and ψK L , three other types of B d decays to CP eigenstates can also serve for the extraction of sin(2β) in the standard model: (a) the CP-forbidden

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has become a widely accepted technique to treat distal tibial fractures. Recently, the novel application of a locking plate used as an external fixator (supercutaneous plating) was introduced for the management of open fractures and infected nonunions and even as an adjunct in distraction osteogenesis, which is considered another less invasive meth...

BACKGROUND Tibial head depression fractures demand a high level of fracture stabilization to prevent a secondary loss of reduction after surgery. Elderly individuals are at an increased risk of developing these fractures, and biomechanical investigations of the fractures are rare. Therefore, the aim of this study was to systematically analyze different types of osteosyntheses in combination wit...

A new miniature high-pressure diamond anvil cell was designed and constructed using 3D micro laser sintering technology. This is the first application of the use of rapid prototyping technology to construct high-pressure apparatus. The cell is specifically designed for use as an X-ray diffraction cell that can be used with commercially available diffractometers and open-flow cryogenic equipment...
