STUDY DESIGN A biomechanical spine model was used to evaluate the impact of screw design on screw-vertebra interface loading during simulated surgical corrections of adult scoliosis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate differences in screw-vertebra interface forces during adult scoliosis correction between favored angle (FA) screws with extension tabs and standard polyaxial screws while varying deformity ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The most frequently used bones for mechanical testing of orthopedic and trauma devices are fresh frozen cadaveric bones, embalmed cadaveric bones, and artificial composite bones. Even today, the comparability of these different bone types has not been established. METHODS We tested fresh frozen and embalmed cadaveric femora that were similar concerning age, sex, bone mi...

PURPOSE Suture anchors are used consistently for repairs of soft tissues, especially around the glenohumeral joint. These anchors can be used either arthroscopically or in an open procedure to anatomically restore the labrum and capsular tissues to the glenoid after avulsion injuries (Bankart lesion). The purpose of this study was to analyze the pullout strength of a new knotless suture anchor ...

This study considered the possibility of using steel gabion baskets made welded mesh for a soil-strengthening function. Examples such applications are known meshes wires with diameters from 6.3 to 12.7 mm and openings 125 225 mm. In case grid, pulling resistance fine-grained soil consists two factors: frictional bearing resistance. Therefore, purposes this issue, simplified laboratory pullout t...

The paper presents a method to establish performance-based fibre design of high-strength micro steel fibres for ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). considers effects layout, orientation, and type loading (quasi-static cyclic) expands the current approach using experiences suitability testing results. is based on so-called utilization rate, which determined via pullout tests in UHPC under qu...

Pullout tests on geogrids have been regarded as the most direct way to investigate geogrid–soil interaction. In pullout geogrids, either static or dynamic load is commonly used for applying vertical loads. order influence of and test results, are carried out analyze mechanical response soils under from large-scale tester. The results show that frequency amplitude significant effects load. inter...
