Distally Based Sural Artery Flap: A Workhorse to Cover the Soft Tissue Defects of Distal Leg, Ankle and Foot
Background & Aims: Distal leg, ankle and foot injuries are relatively common; and because of lack of soft tissue and poor blood supply in these areas, one of the common problems in these patients is soft tissue necrosis. Exposed orthopedic implants can be used as open reduction internal fixator (ORIF) in these regions. Methods: During 2013-2014, 14 patients (11 men and 3 women) with a mean age ...
متن کاملRapid Manufacturing of Co-Cr-Mo Implants by Three-Dimentional Printing Process for Orthopedic Applications
The fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of (wt %) Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy by three-dimensional printing (3DP) was studied using two grades of the alloy with average particle sizes of 20 and 75 μm. To produce sound specimens, 3DP processing parameters were tuned. The sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by the dilatometric analysis. Batch sintering in argon atmosphere at 1280 °...

A major advantage of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies is the ability to print customized products, which makes these technologies well suited for the orthopedic implants industry. Another advantage is the design freedom provided by AM technologies to enhance the performance of orthopedic implants. This paper presents a state-of-the-art overview of the use of AM technologies to produce o...
متن کاملReport on the Use of Numerical Analysis for Strength Evaluation of Orthopedic Implants
For the strength evaluation of orthopedic implants such as hip prostheses, mechanical tests provided in standards such as the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are often performed. However, numerical analysis has been increasingly used to identify the worst case before mechanical tests...
متن کاملFull mouth rehabilitation with fixed prostheses in the case of unaligned and malpositioned implants: clinical report
Full mouth rehabilitation with fixed implant supported prostheses is one of the challenging treatments, because important factors in aesthetic and function should be considered. Implants' alignments and locations should be planned before the insertion unless the improper inclination and location of implants would lead to difficulties in patient's comfort, oral hygiene problem and inability to r...
