A Comparative Mechanical Study of Two Types of Femur Bone Implant Using the Finite Element Method.

Mar 29, 2021

The femoral bone fracture is one of the most common fractures that orthopedic surgeons deal with. These fractures are associated with a significant percentage of death due to non-orthopedic complicati...

Biodegradable cement augmentation of gamma nail osteosynthesis reduces migration in pertrochanteric fractures, a biomechanical in vitro study.

Mar 29, 2021

Cut-out of gamma nail often results from poor primary bone stability, suboptimal reduction (varus) and excentric placement of the head element which may lead to "instability" and frequently requires r...

Synthesis and evaluation of magnesium/co-precipitated hydroxyapatite based composite for biomedical application.

Mar 29, 2021

Owing to its inductive attributes, hydroxyapatite is an ideal reinforcement to tailor the degradation kinetics of magnesium-based temporary orthopedic implants. However, the large difference in the me...

Effects of printing path and material components on mechanical properties of 3D-printed polyether-ether-ketone/hydroxyapatite composites.

Mar 29, 2021

Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) exhibits excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Three-dimensional (3D) printing of PEEK bone substitutes has been widely used in clinical application. Howe...

Mar 25, 2021

The aim of this study was to map responses over 32 hours following high-load (HL) and moderate-load (ML) half-squat priming.Fifteen participants completed control, HL (87% 1RM), and ML (65% 1RM) activ...

The Effect of Attending Physical Rehabilitation After the First Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain on Static Postural Control in Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability.

Mar 25, 2021

Static postural control deficits are commonly documented among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Evidence suggests individuals with CAI who seek medical attention after an ankle sprain...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment in recurrent development of complex regional pain syndrome: A case report.

Mar 25, 2021

A broad spectrum of conditions including neuropathic pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and fibromyalgia, have been implicated as causes of chronic pain. There is a need for new and effective...

Operationalizing Treat-to-Target for Osteoporosis.

Mar 25, 2021

Treat-to-target (TTT) for osteoporosis is a concept for individualizing patient treatment decisions that focuses on achieving an acceptable level of fracture risk rather than response to treatment alo...

Comparative microcomputed tomographic structural analysis of the trabecular and cortical bone architecture of radius and ulna in toy dog breeds.

Mar 25, 2021

Radius and ulna fractures can be detected in dogs with an incidence of 18.0% and occur more frequently in toy breeds with increased complication rates. The reasons for the predisposition and the incre...
