The authors introduce the application of a low-profile hybrid fixation technique for pediatric anterior cruciate ligament graft fixation into the tibia using both an interference screw and knotless anchors. This technique allows for physeal avoidance while maintaining fixation strength.

Aqueous extract of the roots of Radix paeoniae (Paeonaceae) was screened for wound healing by excision, incision and dead space wound models on Wistar rats. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialisation and wound contraction in case of excision wound and granulation tissue dry weight, breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in case of dead spac...

The primary goal of this study was to assess peripheral bone microarchitecture and strength in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes with fragility fractures (DMFx) and to compare them with postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetics without fractures (DM). Secondary goals were to assess differences in nondiabetic postmenopausal women with fragility fractures (Fx) and nondiabetic postmenopau...

BACKGROUND Selective atrophy of hamstring components may result from muscle strain or graft harvesting for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Assessment and rehabilitation that specifically targets medial (MH) or lateral (LH) hamstring components may improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of volitional tibial rotation medially (MR) versus laterally (...

CONTEXT In healthy boys, fractures result from trauma of various severity, suggesting contribution of an intrinsic biomechanical fragility. OBJECTIVES Our objective was to characterize bone mineral mass, microstructure, and strength in boys with and without fractures. PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN We followed 176 healthy boys from 7.4 ± 0.5 to 15.2 ± 0.5 (mean ± sd) yr of age. OUTCOMES Areal (a...

PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between bone microstructure and strength, and male osteoporosis risk factors including age, body mass index, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, and testosterone level. A secondary objective was to compare microstructural and strength parameters between men with normal, low, and osteoporosis-range areal bone mineral densi...

Objective(s): Alcohol consumption induces oxidative stress on bone, which in turn increases the risk of osteoporosis. This study determined the effects of vitamin E on bone strength and bone mineral content in alcohol-induced osteoporotic rats. Materials and Methods: Three months old Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (I) control group; (II) alcohol (3 g/kg) + normal ...

In this paper, we have proposed a system to grade CAPTCHA strength, according to various parameters determined by breaking the CAPTCHA. There are basically four major steps involved in the system.First step is preprocessing which includes – binarization and noise removal.Second step is segmenting the image into individual characters. Third step is to obtain skeletons of characters i.e., Thinnin...

The effect of different phytases on the performance response, nutrient utilization and tibia characteristics of chickens was investigated. The five pelleted diets were the following: positive control (PC) with added monocalcium phosphate; negative control (NC) formulated with equivalency values of phytase for Ca and digestible P; and three further diets where different phytases were individuall...
