چکیده

Quantitative analyses of the Scarf/Z and inverted Scarf/Z bunionectomy osteotomy procedures utilizing two-screw fixation were performed in fresh cadaveric specimens. Eighteen trials (nine matched pair feet) were used for direct comparison. Ultimate strength and failure areas were examined. Trial results revealed a strong statistically significant positive effect. The inverted Z approach was found, on average, 1.6 times stronger in resisting simulated weightbearing forces on the capital fragment to failure than that of the traditional Z bunionectomy osteotomy.

Comparison of Chevron osteotomy and modified McBride bunionectomy for correction of mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity.

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the Chevron osteotomy to the DuVries' modification of the McBride procedure using identical criteria in two groups of patients. Thirty-two patients (48 feet) that had a Chevron osteotomy and 10 patients (17 feet) who had a modified McBride bunionectomy without metatarsal osteotomy for treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus were retros...

Biomechanical consequences of first metatarsal osteotomy in treating hallux valgus.

BACKGROUND Among the numerous osteotomies for correction of hallux valgus, the modified chevron is known for its good intrinsic stability and the scarf for its large corrective potential. An intermediate design, the reversed-L osteotomy, has been developed to combine these competing biomechanical objectives. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the structural and local biomechanica...

A new approach to predict of mechanical properties at the interface of Aluminium/Copper explosive cladding by explosive scarf welding

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to produce scarf joint through explosive welding process (EXW). The scarf weld is a process in which the final bond interface is oblique. With applying the explosive welding technique, this joint can create a metallic bond between similar or dissimilar metals. In this study, chamfered end of aluminum and copper plates were joined explosively and named scar...
