Introduction. There are various methods of long bone lengthening. The quality of the regenerated bone depends on stable external fixation, low energy corticotomy, latency period, optimum lengthening rate and rhythm, and ...

Conclusion Under microscopic examination, polypropylene sutures were found to be deformed by clamp fixation, while the others were not. Polypropylene sutures can be easily damaged when it is fixed by a clamp during knot ...

Increased femoral anteversion in cerebral palsy alters biomechanics of gait. Femoral subtrochanteric derotational osteotomies are increasingly performed to improve gait in cerebral palsy. The amount of angular correction ...

The medial epicondyle behaves as a fulcrum and a pulley that tethers the ulnar nerve during flexion. Excision of the distal half of the medial epicondyle sets the point of contact of the bone with the nerve proximally and ...

Clinical relevance The results of the present cadaveric study suggest that excision of the distal half of the medial epicondyle in cubital tunnel syndrome may decrease ulnar nerve strain effectively. The clinical effect ...

Investigators in the present study explored the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on distraction osteogenesis in a rabbit limb-lengthening model. HBO treatment was provided to participants in a small animal pressure ...

Tensile and knot properties of new generation (polyblend) and traditional suture materials in orthopedic surgery were investigated in standard laboratory conditions. Study focused on Fiberwire No. 5 and 2, Ethibond No. 5, ...

II.

Malunited distal radius fractures are 3D deformities. The preoperative evaluation of the deformity and surgical planning are usually depended on plain radiographic measurements for corrective osteotomies. In most of the ...

Conclusion: Preliminary results indicate that adding N-acetylcysteine to teicoplanin-loaded bone cement does not significantly affect the cement's mechanical resistance, potentially leading to a new avenue for preventing ...
