This study suggests that contemporary modular acetabular shell designs employing ceramic liners deform during implantation where acetabular bed under-reaming is employed. The liner retention strength did not degrade by comparison to non-deformed shells using ASTM static push-out methods. A larger question, however, is the influence of this deformation on liner retention strength over time when ...

INTRODUCTION Intraoperative technical complications are occasionally encountered while implanting INTERTAN™ nails for intertrochanteric fractures. Surgeons need to pay attention to the difficulties they may encounter during the implantation of an INTERTAN™ nail. CASE PRESENTATION We report four cases with intraoperative difficulties during the implantation of INTERTAN™ nails among Han Chinese...

The aim: to conduct a comparative study of osteoreparative regeneration, namely in the periosteal and intermediate areas cortex, during intramedullary osteosynthesis femur rats with without reaming bone marrow canal.
 Materials methods. work is based on results an experimental conducted 56 white mature laboratory rats, which simulated diaphyseal fracture performed stable nail canal first s...

Introduction: Successful minimally invasive extraction of a broken intramedullary distal piece the nail is very challenging. We herein report simple and reproducible technique cannulated nails using self-made extractor. Case Presentation: present 48-year-old male patient who was admitted to our hospital for internal implant removal, whose right tibial fracture had healed, retained at 12 years. ...
