The aim is to present our new method of compression, a compression tube instead of conventional compression screw and to investigate the difference of proximal locking screw bending resistance between compression screw application (6 mm wide contact) and compression tube (two contact points with 13 mm gap) application. We formed six groups each consisting of 10 proximal locking screws. On metal...

Grade 1 open spiral fracture of left tibia in a 1.5 year-old horse was treated using a combination of 4.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) and a dynamic compression plate applied in a neutralization manner. The open wound was managed postoperatively by regular dressing and lavage. Radiograph at 24 days post-treatment revealed callus formation and at two months complete bridging callus was obs...

Title of Document: HUMERAL FRACTURE FIXATION TECHNIQUES: A FEA COMPARISON OF LOCKING AND COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES WITH CADAVERIC PULLOUT COMPARISON OF CORTICAL COMPRESSION AND INTERNAL LOCKING SCREWS. Aaron Johnson, MS Mechanical Engineering, 2007 Directed By: Professor, Donald Barker, Mechanical Engineering Locking and non-locking humeral repair techniques provide different mechanical constructs...

BACKGROUND Locking compress plate, as external fixator, is an attractive technique for distal tibial fracture treatment. But it still remains unclear whether the external LCP has sufficient stiffness. Thus, the present study aims to make a comprehensive evaluation of the stiffness of external locking compress plate when it is used as an external fixator in distal tibial fractures treatment. M...

PURPOSE To compare the results of staple versus locking compression plate fixation after closing wedge high tibial osteotomy. METHODS A group of 23 patients (24 knees) who underwent box high tibial osteotomy and staple fixation was compared with another group of 19 patients (22 knees) who underwent a similar procedure but with locking compression plate fixation. Both groups were followed up f...

INTRODUCTION There is a growing use of locking compression plates in fracture surgery. The current study was undertaken to investigate the wound complication rates of locking versus non-locking plates in distal fibular fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS During a 6-year study period all consecutive, closed distal fibular fractures treated with either a locking or a non-locking plate were included...

Surgical fixation of humeral shaft fractures generally involves plating or nailing. It is unclear whether one method is more effective than the other. The aim of this study was to compare the results of the intramedullary nail and locking compression plate for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. A total of 60 patients with humeral shaft fractures were randomized to undergo surgery with an...

prior animal models have shown that rats sustaining 3-second immediate spinal cord compression had significantly better functional recovery and smaller lesion volumes than rats subjected to compression times of 1 hour, 6 hours, 3 weeks, and 10 weeks after spinal cord injury. we compare locomotor rating scales and spinal cord histopathology after 3 seconds and 10 minute compression times. . ten ...
