Rehabilitation of a highly resorbed mandibular ridge can be a difficult and challenging one. Making an impression with available stock trays, even after modification is difficult in case of extremely resorbed ridges. In such cases, an innovative technique of making impression with properly adapted wire and silicone putty can be used to make a proper impression to achieve maximum retention and s...

BACKGROUND A biomechanical study of three sternotomy closure techniques (figure-of-eight stainless-steel wires, Pectofix Dynamic Sternal Fixation [DSF] stainless-steel plates, and figure-of-eight stainless-steel cables) was conducted to compare strength and stiffness variables in three clinically relevant loading modes (anterior-posterior shear, longitudinal shear, and lateral distraction). M...

This modification was developed in1981 by Cadaveric Tests prior to clinical application in patients, and this was primarily devised anatomically to decrease dislocations of the Hip Joint. Here the bone over the greater trochanter was osteotoimised at it posterior overhanging part to provide for access to the Hip Joint, which was resutured using 2 stainless steel wires In order to reconstitute t...

Revision total hip arthroplasty in the setting of severe acetabular bone loss is a challenging problem that is becoming more common. Kirschner wires are often used during acetabular revision for temporary fixation of trial components. We describe an intraoperative migration of a Kirschner wire through the acetabulum into the peritoneal cavity, requiring acute laparoscopic removal.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the frictional force (FR) in self-ligating brackets among different bracket-archwire angles, bracket materials, and archwire types. METHODS Passive and active metal self-ligating brackets and active ceramic self-ligating brackets were included as experimental groups, while conventional twin metal brackets served as a control group. All brackets were maxil...

Most carpal dislocations occur in the lunate bone or around it (perilunate). An isolated dislocation of the carpal scaphoid is a rare injury. We report a case of a palmar scaphoid dislocation combined with a dorsal perilunate dislocation, which was treated with open reduction, fixed with two Kirschner wires and ligament repair, with a good result.

Introduction. Skills training using artificial bones became more critical in response to the Orthopedic surgical restriction caused by COVID-19 pandemic. To cut expenses of buying commercial bones, Ilizarov Limb Reconstruction Service has decided fabricate its for skills training. Objective. determine if resin-coated polyurethane (PU) rigid foam is a suitable, low-cost alternative bone. Metho...
