Fluoroscopic freehand and electromagnetic-guided targeting system for distal locking screws of humeral intramedullary nail [PDF]
Purpose The current techniques used to lock distal screws for the nailing of long bone fractures expose the surgeons, radiologists and patients to a hearty dose of ionizing radiation.

Trends of mechanical consequences and modeling of a fibrous membrane around femoral hip prostheses [PDF]
In the present study, the effects of a fibrous membrane between cement and bone in a femoral total hip replacement were investigated. The study involved the problem of modeling this fibrous membrane in finite-element analyses, and its global consequences

New simple unicortex locking intramedullary fixation of forearm shaft fracture: A Case report
We have used nonlocking nails in patients with small intramedullary canals for the fixation of segmental fractures of the radius and ulna. We report a patient with the Monteggia fracture dislocation (the ulnar shaft segmental fracture) treated by new ...

Clinical and Radiological Evaluations of The Intramedullary K-Wire Compared with Small Dcp 3,5 Mm Surgical Fixations in Adult Patients with 1/3 Middle Displaced Clavicle Fracture [PDF]
Background: A clavicle fracture is a break in the collarbone, one of the main bones in the shoulder. This type of fracture is fairly common-accounting for about 5 percent of all adult fractures. Most clavicle fractures occur when a fall onto the shoulder

Long-term stability of angle-stable versus conventional locked intramedullary nails in distal tibia fractures [PDF]
Background: In the last years intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for most displaced diaphyseal tibia fractures. In contrast intramedullary nailing of distal tibia fractures is accompanied by problems like decreased biomechanical ...

The Sirt1‐Piezo1 Axis Promotes Bone Formation and Repair in Mice
Piezo1 upregulates in cartilage callus during bone repair, where its deletion impairs ossification and healing in mice, while activation enhances these processes. Sirt1 positively regulates Piezo1 expression and activity to promote osteogenesis and bone repair in mice.
