Dual Plating of Humeral Shaft Fractures: Orthogonal Plates Biomechanically Outperform Side-by-Side Plates

Treatment of Intercondylar Humeral Fractures With 3D-Printed Osteosynthesis Plates

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy custom 3D-printed osteosynthesis plates in the treatment of intercondylar humeral fractures.Thirteen patients with distal intercondylar humeral fractures were randomized to undergo surgery using either conventional plates (n = 7) or 3D-printed plates (n = 6) at our institution from March to October 2014. Both groups were compared in terms of ope...

Aerodynamics of Two Side-by-Side Plates in Hypersonic Rarefied-Gas Flows

Hypersonic rareŽ ed-gas  ows near two side-by-side plates have been studied numerically with the direct simulationMonte Carlo technique under transitional rareŽ ed-gas- ow conditions (Knudsen numbers from 0.024 to 1.8). Strong in uences of the geometrical factor (ratio of distance between plates to plate length) and the Knudsen number on the  ow structure (the shape of shock waves, the conŽ...

Displaced proximal humeral fractures: an Indian experience with locking plates

BACKGROUND The treatment of displaced proximal humerus fractures, especially in elderly, remains controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate functional outcome of locking plate used for fixation of these fractures after open reduction. We also attempted to evaluate the complications and predictors of loss of fixation for such an implant. METHODS Over two and a half years, 56 pa...

Aiaa 2002-3298 Aerodynamics of Two Side-by-side Plates in Hypersonic Rarefied-gas Flows

Hypersonic rarefied-gas flows near two side-byside plates have been studied numerically with the direct simulation Monte-Carlo technique under transitional rarefied-gas-flow conditions (Knudsen numbers from 0.024 to 1.8). Strong influences of the geometrical factor (ratio of distance between plates to plate length) and the Knudsen number on the flow structure (the shape of shock waves, the conf...
