Interlocking Particle Structures (IPS) are geometrically stable assemblies, usually fabricated from plate type elements that interconnected by slotted joints. IPS demountable and their components have the potential to be used reused in different structures configurations. This paper explores applicability of birch plywood panels, which characterized a high surface hardness, for this structural ...

Prospective study of sixty patients with distal tibia fracture who underwent surgical fixation at Sri Ramachandra University between June 2010 -June 2013. Of the 60 patients included in our study 30 underwent closed intramedullary interlocking nail and 30 were treated with plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). Patients were followed up for clinical and radiological evaluation using modified Klernn and B...

Objective: To evaluate the results of fracture union in closed reamed interlocking nail in fractures of femur. Methodology: A descriptive study conducted at Department of Orthopaedic surgery Ittefaq Hospital Lahore from March 2003 to July 2004. Fifty patients were recruited from Accident & Emergency and out patient department having close fracture of femoral shaft. All patients were operated un...

PURPOSE To study clinical and mechanical factors that predispose to failure of interlocking nails. METHODS Between October 1996 and December 2002, 286 femoral fractures, 211 tibial fractures, and 47 humeral fractures were repaired using variously designed interlocking nails. Fracture pattern, level and site, nail size and type, weight bearing after nailing, and union status were reviewed afte...

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to consider the clinical experience of surgical outcome of single port access (SPA) laparoscopic myomectomy according to suturing methods. METHODS The authors operated with 2 suturing method in SPA laparoscopic myomectomy for 246 patients and compared the surgical outcomes. RESULTS The some significant difference of surgical outcome according to two sutur...

BACKGROUND Intramedullary fixation with use of a telescopic rod with a T-piece is one of the standard methods for long-bone stabilization in growing children with osteogenesis imperfecta. However, installation and removal of this device can cause substantial damage to the distal joint, which limits its use, especially in the tibia. We devised a modification of the telescopic rod system--the int...

Most animal models currently used to study the retention of implants in bone are influenced by shear forces introduced during the retention test. This is mainly due to the implant design, which most often are cylindrical, conical or threaded. In these models interlocking between bone and implant surface will increase the effect of genuine bone bonding and thus give a false positive outcome. The...

Tibial diaphyseal fractures are one of the commonest long bone fractures encountered by most of the orthopaedic surgeons. There are many methods of treatment for tibial diaphyseal fractures. But now-a-days closed intramedullary interlocking nailing is emerging as treatment of choice for all closed tibial diaphyseal fractures, most of type Iand type II open fractures in adults. Closed IM IL nail...
