Bones are involved in many physiological processes like the formation of blood and also act as calcium reserves. Out 206 bones human body, major get fractured easily due to low bone density, physical injury, or any other reasons. Normally healed on their own by natural but sometimes fracture is so complex it does not allow normal healing bones. Sometimes such fractures, if left untreated can re...

Orthopaedic implants are made up of metal alloys which even though inert may cause allergic hypersensitivity reactions systemic or cutaneous. We discuss a case reaction to orthopaedic forearm plating was manifested locally thought out the body surface. Dermatologist and surgeon worked collaboratively manage this scenario successfully. However, further research needs be carried for detection pre...

Additive manufacturing or 3D-printing is used to create bespoke items in many fields, such as defence, aerospace and medicine. Despite the progress made 3D-printed orthopaedic implants, significant challenges remain terms of creating a material capable osseointegration while inhibiting bacterial colonisation implant. Diamond rapidly emerging with an extensive range biomedical applications, espe...

Finite element methods have been applied extensively and with much success in the analysis of orthopaedic implants. Recently a growing interest has developed, in the orthopaedic biomechanics community, in how numerical models can be constructed for the optimal solution of problems in contact mechanics. New developments in this area are of paramount importance in the design of improved implants ...

Introduction The development and evaluation of orthopaedic devices are commonly assisted by finite element analysis [1]. Computational models are usually simplified through approximations to enable efficient simulations, without affecting the outcome of relative comparisons between different implant designs or configurations. The physical behavior of the bonescrew interface prior to osseointegr...

A 7-year-old, female, red-eared slider turtle was presented with proximal diaphyseal oblique femoral fracture due to falling out of bed. preoperative evaluation computed tomography performed evaluate the anatomy femur. The appropriate implant selection decided upon three-dimensional printed model before plate osteosynthesis. Follow-up time for patient 6 months and functional outcome considered ...

Dynamic hip screw fixation is a common orthopaedic procedure and to date, still can cause difficulties to the senior trauma surgeon. We present a case where an extra-capsular fracture of the proximal femur was managed with a dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation. She proceeded to the operating theatre, where the fracture was stabilized with a 75-mm DHS and short-barrelled plate. The implant position...

The modern orthopaedic implants for applications in hips, knees, shoulders, and spines are composed of hard metal alloys or ceramics. tribo-logical sub-component is soft materials with good tribological properties – e.g. UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecule Weight Polyethylene). need to be machined into their final shape after the polymerization consolidation a blank profile near-net shaped implant. So ...

In ten male rats we inserted ceramic 'drawing-pin' implants in weight-bearing positions within the right proximal tibia. Two animals were killed 6 weeks after surgery and two more 14 weeks after surgery. The remaining six received intra-articular injections of either high-density polyethylene (4 rats) or saline (2 rats) at 8, 10 and 12 weeks after surgery. These animals were killed two weeks af...
