Eight years' clinical experience with the Orthofix (R) tibial nailing system in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures
(2007)Intramedullary nailing has become a popular and effective procedure for the treatment of most tibial fractures. However, concerns regarding difficulties with reduction, the use and extent of intramedullary reaming, and ... -
Influence of orthotopic placement on the incorporation and mechanical strength of a loaded structural cortical graft: An experimental study in rabbits
(2000)The biological and mechanical behavior of loaded cortical autografts were evaluated in an experimental study using 40 adult male New Zealand rabbits divided into 4 groups. A double osteotomy was performed on all animals ... -
The long-term clinical relevance of calcar atrophy caused by stress shielding in total hip arthroplasty - A 10-year, prospective, randomized study
(2004)Eighty osteoarthritic female patients were randomly allocated to 4 equal groups; the Zwey-Muller, the Corail, the Optifix, or Autophor 900S cementless total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were implanted; and bone density changes, ... -
A mid-term clinical outcome study of the Advance Medial Pivot knee arthroplasty
(2009)The Advance Medial Pivot Total Knee Arthroplasty (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, Tennessee, USA) has been designed to reproduce modern ideas of knee kinematics. We report a prospective clinical outcome study of 284 ... -
Osteoid Osteoma of the Femoral Neck: Use of the Half-Moon Sign in MRI Diagnosis
(2015)OBJECTIVE. Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that is commonly located in the proximal femur. Although CT is helpful in the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma, patients in whom the clinical presentation of the tumor is ... -
Structural properties of the axis studied in cadaveric specimens
(2004)Peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans of the axis in 20 fresh cadaveric specimens obtained at autopsy were studied to investigate the internal structural properties of the axis. In all specimens, serial scans ... -
Transosseous application of low-intensity ultrasound for the enhancement and monitoring of fracture healing process in a sheep osteotomy model
(2006)The purpose of this study is twofold: (a) to investigate the application of transosseous low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LiUS) on the enhancement of fracture healing and (b) to demonstrate the ability of transosseous ...
