Drug-eluting Ti wires with titania nanotube arrays for bone fixation and reduced bone infection [PDF]
Abstract Current bone fixation technology which uses stainless steel wires known as Kirschner wires for fracture fixing often causes infection and reduced skeletal load resulting in implant failure. Creating new wires with drug-eluting properties to locally deliver drugs is an appealing approach to address some of these problems.

DOES ULNA FIXATION ALTER THE OUTCOME FOR DISTAL-THIRD FOREARM FRACTURES IN CHILDREN?
Introduction Fractures of the distal third of the forearm are common in the pediatric population. Conservative treatment of an ipsilateral fracture of the distal ulna metaphysis is one of the risk factors for loss of reduction.

Conductance of ‘bare-bones’ tripodal molecular wires [PDF]
When venturing into the field of tripodal molecular conductors the geometry of the tripod with respect to the surface is a critical factor affecting conductance. Here we examine the behaviour of a tripodal conductor by systematic modifications of a triarylphosphine system.

Influence of bone density on stability in TBW
Osteoporosis is a common disease that leads to a reduction in bone density and increases the risk of fractures. Stable surgical treatment is particularly important for these fractures. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of bone density in
