Download or read book Biomechanical Evaluation of Composite Bone Following Removal of Proximal Femoral Fixation Hardware written by Janet L. Gbur and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few studies in literature have investigated the performance of bone following the removal of hardware (ROH) in proximal femoral fracture fixations and in particular, the material properties recovered in bone following insertion of bone cement into the holes created by ROH. Cadaveric bones suffer from high inter- and intra-specimen variability; consequently, this investigation utilized composite femurs with a standardized geometry and material properties that approximate healthy human bone. To assess the mechanical response, orthopaedic implants were inserted and removed from the composite bones. Twenty-one femurs were tested in axial compression. Three femurs served as controls (no augmentation) and the remaining eighteen were divided into three treatment groups: cannulated screws, a dynamic hip screw system, and an intramedullary hip screw system. Biomechanical testing of the femurs identified the linear relationship between load/deflection as well as overall load and deflection values at fracture. In addition, strain gages and optical elastography were employed to determine quantitative and qualitative localized strain. Computational modeling led to the development of a preliminary, simplified finite element (FE) model of the femur, which was correlated to experimental data. Overall deflection, stress, and strain were determined, as well as localized strain. Further development and validation of the FE model would allow for investigations into ROH implications for those with varying degrees of osteoporosis.

Download or read book Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis written by Pol Maria Rommens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to an increasing life expectancy of our populations the number of elderly persons is steadily growing and will continue to do so. Among these, the rate of persons with illnesses and degenerative diseases is significant. The prevalence of osteoporosis is especially high in elderly women and leads to typical fracture patterns. Hip fractures, proximal humerus fractures, distal radius fractures and fractures of the vertebral column are the most common. In the last decade, we are confronted with a sharp increase of fragility fractures of the pelvis. Until now, there is no consensus on how to identify and classify these lesions and there are no guidelines for treatment and after treatment. In particular, there is no common view on which patients need an operative treatment and which technique of osteosynthesis should be used. This book fills the gap in available literature and gives a state of the art guide to the treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis. With the sharp increase of these fractures and the lacking consensus, Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis will become indispensable for the physicians who take care of elderly patients with this pathology. Written by a team of expert opinion leaders, the aim of this book is to contribute to the scientific discussion in this area and to help provide the optimal care for these patients.
Download or read book Transosseous Osteosynthesis written by Gavriil A. Ilizarov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the transosseous external fixation techniques that I have been developing over the course of the past 40 years. During this time, our research in medicine, biology and engineering has led to the evolution of more than 800 unique, highly effective methods of treatment that extend beyond the realm of traumatology and orthopedics. The book features a comprehensive theoretical and clinical description of the biologic laws governing the depen dence of the shape-forming processes of bones and joints upon the adequacy of blood supply, as well as a delineation of the effect of tension-stress upon the genesis and growth of tissues. I have in cluded our latest data on tissue growth and regeneration during transosseous osteosyntheses. The book summarizes the biomechanical principles of applica tion of my apparatus; clinical cases selected from more than 25000 patients illustrate the management of some of the most complex disorders of the locomotor system. New solutions to many therapeutic problems are described. In particular, severe limb trauma with large defects of bone, vessels, nerves and skin can be managed without resort to transplantation. Radical debridement surgery can be followed by a one-step restora tion of the missing tissue, thus decreasing the likelihood of a serious wound infection or an amputation.

Download or read book The Comprehensive Classification of Fractures of Long Bones written by Maurice E. Müller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the origin and development of the new Classification of Fractures was described in the preface to the French edition. The history of the acceptance of this new concept dates back to 1986, when the Swiss Association for the Study of the Problems of Internal Fixation (AO) accepted the new Classification of Fractures. In the same year, the Trustees of the AO/ASIF Foundation, at their annual meeting in Montreux, adopted the new AO Classification as the basis for fracture classification to be used in the planned third edition of the AO/ASIF Manual. In August 1987, the French edition of "The Comprehensive Classification of Fractures of Long Bones" made its first appearance, coincident with the Congress of the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery (SICOn in Munich. This precipitated a great deal of interest in the subject. This interest persisted, so that in February of 1988 the President of SICOT, Sir Dennis Paterson, formed a "Presidential Commission for Documentation and Evaluation" with Maurice E. Muller as Chairman.
