Carbon-fibre reinforced plates for problem fractures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report our experience with carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates in the management of 19 problem fractures complicated by either infection, nonunion, comminution or contamination. The combination offers secure fixation without inhibition of callus formation.

The use of semi-rigid carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic plates for fixation of human fractures. Results of preliminary trials.
Semi-rigid plates have been constructed from epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fibre. These have been used in animal trials and also for internal fixation of 20 fractures of the human tibia. The results are generally very satisfactory, and support the view that semi-rigid fixation is not only desirable theoretically, but also works in practice. However, the results are from preliminary trials ...
متن کاملTissue reaction and loosening of carbon-reinforced polyethylene arthroplasties.
The use ofcarbon fibre implants in orthopaedics is widely reported, but the potential risks associated with their use are less well defined. In its pure form carbon fibre may be spun into ligament and tendon replacements. Incorporated into epoxy resin, it has been used in plates for the internal fixation of fractures. Carbon fibre has also been used to reinforce polyethylene composites for join...
متن کاملCarbon Fibre Composite Bone Plates
We compared the mechanical properties of carbon fibre composite bone plates with those of stainless steel and titanium. The composite plates have less stiffness with good fatigue properties. Tissue culture and small animal implantation confirmed the biocompatibility of the material. We also present a preliminary report on the use of the carbon fibre composite plates in 40 forearm fractures. All...
متن کاملHow stiff should semi-rigid fixation of the human tibia be? A clue to the answer.
Test results on carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic plates are presented, all of which had been used as semi-rigid fixation in a series of fractures of the middle third of the human tibia. Symptoms of pain experienced by the patients were found to be related to the stiffness of the plates and it is suggested that a stiffness of 2.0 newton-metres per degree is most suitable for this type of fixation...
متن کاملFractional Thermoelasticity Model of a 2D Problem of Mode-I Crack in a Fibre-Reinforced Thermal Environment
A model of fractional-order of thermoelasticity is applied to study a 2D problem of mode-I crack in a fibre-reinforced thermal environment. The crack is under prescribed distributions of heat and pressure. The normal mode analysis is applied to deduce exact formulae for displacements, stresses, and temperature. Variations of field quantities with the axial direction are illustrated graphically....
