Assessment by finite element analysis of the impact of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis on hip resurfacing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Hip resurfacing is proposed as an alternative to total hip replacement (THR) for treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), especially for younger, heavier and more active sufferers.

Optimizing normal tissue sparing via spatiotemporal optimization under equivalent tumor-radical efficacy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Objective: Spatiotemporal optimization in radiation therapy involves determining the optimal number of dose delivery fractions (temporal) and the optimal dose per fraction (spatial). Traditional approaches focus on maximizing the biologically effective dose (BED) to the target while constraining BED to organs-at-risk (OAR), which may lead to ...

Increasing the angle between caudal screw and the transverse plane may aggravate the risk of femoral head necrosis by deteriorating the fixation stability in patients with femoral neck fracture

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research
Necrosis of the femoral head is the main complication in femoral neck fracture patients with triangle cannulated screw fixation. Instant postoperative fixation instability is a main reason for the higher risk of femoral head necrosis.

A biomechanical study of neck strength and impact dynamics on head and neck injury parameters [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are considered a silent epidemic. It affects many people, from automobiles to sports to service members. In this study, we employed a musculoskeletal head-neck model to understand the effect of impact locations, characteristics, and neck strength on head and neck injury severity. Three types of impact forces were studied:

Candidate gene analysis of femoral neck trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density in older men. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In contrast to conventional dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, quantitative computed tomography separately measures trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD).
