Comparative finite element analysis: internal fixation plate versus intramedullary nail for neer type III-VI proximal humeral fractur

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Finite element analysis (FEA) could advance the understanding of fracture fixation and guide the choice of surgical treatment. This study aimed to compare two internal fixation methods in the treatment of displaced proximal humeral fracture ...

Electrosensitive Heterogeneous Short Fibers via Acousto‐Electric Coupling for Sequential Bone Regeneration in Infectious Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrosensitive heterogeneous short fibers can accurately respond to ultrasonic field regulation through the synergistic interaction of piezoelectric and conductive dual elements. At an ultrasound intensity of 1.5 W cm−2, it can effectively activate bacterial peroxisome and necrotic apoptotic pathway and promote bacterial apoptosis.

Use of blocked intramedullary shaft for the treatment of humeral diaphyseal fractures [PDF]

, 2005
Clinical and radiographic outcomes of 31 patients with humeral diaphyseal fractures submitted to surgery with intramedullary shafts were studied. From these, four patients presented fractures at the shaft insertion site and were treated using a different

Biomechanical Comparison of First Tarsometatarsal Arthrodesis Constructs Over Prolonged Cyclic Testing

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2019
Background: Traditionally, a lengthy period of nonweightbearing is required following arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint in order to provide a stable healing environment for the bones.

Influence of Age on Fracture Healing in Young and Middle‐Aged Mice in a Proximal Femur Fracture Model

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoporotic hip fractures are a considerable cause of pain and disability particularly among the elderly. Osteoporosis causes loss of bone stability, which in turn leads to an increased risk of fractures especially in metaphyseal bone. Moreover, the body′s capacity for healing is diminished, resulting in prolonged recovery times following ...

Flexible intramedullary nailing in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in preschool children [PDF]

, 2008
Femur fractures in preschool children are mostly treated in a conservative way, by means of spica cast immobilisation or skin traction. In school age children the use of flexible intramedullary nails (FIN) is widely used and promoted.
