چکیده
Magnesium alloys are candidates for resorbable material in bone fixation. However, the degradation and performance of osteosynthesis plate/screw systems in vivo, under cyclic deformation, is unknown. We evaluated the outcomes of human standard-sized magnesium plate/screw systems with or without plasma-electrolytic surface modifications in a miniature pig rib model. Of a total of 14 minipigs, six were implanted with coated magnesium WE43 six-hole plates/screws, six received magnesium uncoated plates/screws, and two received titanium osteosynthesis systems. The performance of the plate/screw fixation system on partially osteotomized 7th ribs was compared with that on intact 9th ribs. Radiological examinations were performed in vivo at 1, 4 and 8 weeks and after euthanasia at 12 and 24 weeks. After euthanasia the bone blocks were analyzed by computed tomography (CT), microfocus computed tomography (micro-CT), histology and histomorphometry. Follow-up post-surgery showed no trouble with wound healing. In vivo radiological examinations showed higher amounts of gas formation above the uncoated magnesium plates fixed on the partially osteotomized and intact ribs. CT scans showed no broken plates or implant displacement. The micro-CT examination demonstrated better surrounding bone properties around the coated than the uncoated magnesium implants 12 weeks after surgery. No negative influence of magnesium degradation on bone healing was observed with histological examinations. Plastic deformation during surgery and cyclic deformation did not affect the integrity of the used magnesium plates. This study showed promising results for the further development of coated magnesium plate/screw systems for bone fixation.

The study deals with the determination of mechanical properties, namely resistance to bending forces, of flexible buttress osteosynthesis using two different bone-implant constructs stabilizing experimental segmental femoral bone defects (segmental ostectomy) in a miniature pig ex vivo model using 4.5 mm titanium LCP and a 3 mm intramedullary pin (“plate and rod” construct) (PR-LCP), versus the...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of standard and modified osteosynthesis in long bone fractures treatment.
The fundamental problem in osteoporotic fracture treatment is significant decrease in bone mass and bone tissue density resulting in decreased firmness and elasticity of osteoporotic bone. Application of standard implants and standard surgical techniques in osteoporotic bone fracture treatment makes it almost impossible to achieve stable osteosynthesis sufficient for early mobility, verticaliza...
