Use of the Dynamic External Distractor Ligamentotaxor in finger trauma
نویسنده
چکیده
Results Twenty-five patients were operated in emergency following complex MCP, PIP and DIP fractures and 7 patients at more than one month following trauma due to neglected dislocation or complications of arthroplasty. The duration of distraction was 6 weeks. Associated osteosynthesis was performed in 3 cases. The mean follow-up was 36 months. Grip strength was 85% of the contralateral side. Active flexion was 75° and flexion deformity 20°. Pain recorded using the VAS was 1.5 and quick DASH score was 17. One patient had sepsis requiring premature removal of metalwork. One patient disassembled the distraction system himself. Bone union occurred in all cases.

In this research, first, kinematic and dynamic equations of a 4-DOF 3-link robotic finger are derived using Denavit-Hartenberg convention and Lagrange’s formulation. To model the muscles, several springs and dampers are placed between the finger links. Then, two advanced controllers, namely adaptive-robust and adaptive-neural, which can control the robotic finger in presence of parametric uncer...

Collapse of maxillofacial skeletal structures after trauma results in inadequate anteroposterior projection and increase in facial width with deformed facial aesthetics and various functional problems. After successful use of rigid external distractor for treatment of congenital facial hypoplasia, they have been used for treating more complex craniofacial anomalies. Six patients with posttrauma...
متن کاملA Simple and Light Weight External Fixator for Distraction Advancement Manoplasty
BACKGROUND With the growing interest in long bone distraction several types of distractors have been introduced; all have the same principle of an outer structure which acts like a scaffold and the distracting mechanism is a separate device which is mounted on this outer structure. OBJECTIVES We have used a simple and very light weight external fixator we designed and discuss the results of d...
