background: ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. purposes: we sought to introduce our new technique of bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction and to compare ...

In this study the simple pullout concrete cylinder specimen reinforced by a single steel bar was analyzed for bond-slip behavior. Three-dimension nonlinear finite element model using ANSYS program employed to behavior of bond between and plain reinforcement. The includes eight-noded isoperimetric brick (SOLID65) while reinforcing modeled as truss member (LINK8). Interface (CONTAC52) used in ana...
