A myriad of orthopaedic injuries require surgical fixation of torn connective tissue to an osseous insertion site with either direct repair or reconstruction with a soft-tissue graft. Numerous factors influence the strength of a soft-tissue-to-bone fixation construct, including tissue quality, implant strength, contact area and pressure, and tensioning. Each fixation technique differs with resp...

In this paper, a design procedure for mono-anchor head anchoring 2360 MPa high-strength steel strand is proposed. The performance criteria of the existing anchor based on PTI (Post-Tensioning Institute) have been reorganized so that they can be evaluated plastic hoop strain appearing at top wedge hole. order to does not exceed permissible standard, stress and deformation mechanisms were investi...

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dissociation is one of the common injuries affecting adults. The stability of ACJ largely depends on the integrity of acromioclavicular ligament, coracoclavicular ligament, capsule, trapezius muscle and deltoid muscle. The injury has been classified by Rockwood into six types and treatment options can be guided by the classification. TightRope fixation is one of th...
