Biomechanical Evaluation of Anterior Cervical Spine Fixation Devices
The anterior cervical plate fixation systems have been widely used in treatment of complex spinal disorders such as traumatic lesion, disc hernination, tumor, spondylosis, arthritides, and others. Combined with bone graft or other fusion techniques the satisfactory outcomes were higher than 88% (Clements 1990, Naito 1993,Bose 1998, Schneeberger 1999). Among the screw plate fixation systems, Cas...
متن کاملAnterior Cervical Incision and Thoracotomy for Cervico-thoracic, Thoracic, and Thoracolumbar Spine Surgery: A Clinical Series
Introduction:Surgical treatment of diseases in cervicothoracic, thoracic and thoracolumbar regions can be a challenging issue. Cooperation of the thoracic surgeons and spine surgeons can improve the outcomes and decrease the complications of patients who underwent these approaches.Materials & Methods: The participants of this study consisted of seventeenpatients suffering from different types o...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of the FlatWire Figure 8 sternal fixation device.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the FlatWire Figure 8 sternal fixation device (Penn United, USA) is mechanically superior to the current standard in sternotomy closure. DESCRIPTION Unstable sternal closure using traditional steel-wire cerclage can increase postoperative pain, bony cut-through and wound dehiscence. The authors present the Figure 8 sternal fixation device to minimize these compl...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Biomechanical evaluation of periprosthetic femoral fracture fixation.
BACKGROUND A variety of methods are available for the fixation of femoral shaft fractures after total hip arthroplasty. However, few studies in the literature have quantified the performance of such repair constructs. The aim of this study was to evaluate biomechanically four different constructs for the fixation of periprosthetic femoral shaft fractures following total hip arthroplasty. METH...
