Earlier [I], it was shown that certain reinforced holes may be designed for elastic, isotropic plane sheets that do not alter the stress state in the cut sheet, for particular types of planar loading. In this work, this methodology is extended to symmetrically laminated composite plates which are under planar loading, and additionally pure bending moments. Since these two types of loading lead ...

To evaluate a new technique of Dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation without using traction table. From july 2006 to july 2012, 328 patients undergoing DHS fixation using manual traction technique were evaluated in terms of Tip apex distance (TAD), -quality of fracture reduction, operation time, preoperative preparation time. In 97% cases good to moderate reduction could be achieved. The mean TAD wa...
