Biomechanical and Histological Evaluation of Roughened Surface Titanium Screws Fabricated by Electron Beam Melting
BACKGROUND Various fabrication methods are used to improve the stability and osseointegration of screws within the host bone. The aim of this study was to investigate whether roughened surface titanium screws fabricated by electron beam melting can provide better stability and osseointegration as compared with smooth titanium screws in sheep cervical vertebrae. METHODS Roughened surface titan...
متن کاملCorrelation of quantitative computed tomographic subchondral bone density and ash density in horses.
The purpose of this study was to compare subchondral bone density obtained using quantitative computed tomography with ash density values from intact equine joints, and to determine if there are measurable anatomic variations in mean subchondral bone density. Five adult equine metacarpophalangeal joints were scanned with computed tomography (CT), disarticulated, and four 1-cm(3) regions of inte...
متن کاملSurgical management of complete diaphyseal third metacarpal and metatarsal bone fractures: clinical outcome in 10 mature horses and 11 foals.
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Osteosynthesis of third metacarpal (McIII) and third metatarsal (MtIII) bone fractures in horses is a surgical challenge and complications surrounding the repair are common. Retrospective studies evaluating surgical repair, complications and outcome are necessary to increase knowledge and improve success of long bone fracture repair in the horse. OBJECTIVES To eva...
متن کاملCompliance calibration for fracture testing of anisotropic biological materials.
The compliance technique has been used to monitor crack length during fracture and fatigue testing of materials. Difficulties arise when this technique is applied to anisotropic biological materials such as bone. In this tutorial, two different methods of analyzing compliance calibration data are described: the standard ASTM method and a new approach developed by the authors specifically for an...
متن کاملFatigue Crack Growth Rates in Equine Cortical Bone
INTRODUCTION Stress fractures are common in athletes, military recruits, and Thoroughbred racehorses, and may occur as hip fractures in the elderly. All of these injuries, to some extent, depend upon the propagation of fatigue cracks. Therefore, it is important to characterize the rates at which fatigue cracks grow and how microstructural differences found in cortical bone influence the crack g...
