A Comparative Study in Orthopaedic Surgery Residents

Arthroscopy Skills Development with a Surgical Simulator: A Comparative Study in Orthopaedic Surgery Residents

BACKGROUND Surgical simulation has become increasingly relevant to orthopaedic surgery education and could translate to improved operating room proficiency in orthopaedic surgery trainees. PURPOSE To compare the arthroscopic performance of junior orthopaedic surgery residents who received training with a knee and shoulder arthroscopy surgical simulator with those who received didactic trainin...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Femoral osteotomies for the valgus knee

Lower limb alignment is an important contributing factor to the development of knee arthritis, and it is related to the articular cartilage wear pattern (1). Osteotomies around the knee are a well-recognized treatment for symptomatic unicompartmental knee arthritis associated to lower limb malalignment in young and active patients, with the attempt to preserve the native knee joint and delay kn...
