Medical grade silicones have been employed for decades in medical applications. The associated long‐term complications, such as capsule formation and contraction have, however, not fully addressed yet. aim of this study is to elucidate if and/or can be mitigated by veiling the surface silicone during critical phase after implantation. implants are homogeneously coated with a micrometer thin layer recombinant spider silk proteins. Biocompatibility analysis vitro vivo focuses on specific...
Abstract Background Usually, comminuted fractures contain fragments that are too small for fixation with Kirschner (K)-wires or screws. For those bony osteochondral fragments, a bone adhesive would be desirable to, example, enable easy anatomic reduction, avoid discarding of the and temporary to visualize reduction before definitive osteosynthesis is performed. Most currently available adhesives have shortcomings, such as cytotoxicity, lack resorbability, inadequate mechanical properties....
Abstract Background Large bone defects resulting from trauma, disease, or resection often exceed the intrinsic capacity of bones to heal. The current gold standard addressing these is autologous grafting (ABG). Procedures such as reamer–irrigator–aspirator (RIA) and conventional iliac crest are widely recognized highly effective interventions for critical-size defects. early phase fracture healing particularly crucial, it can determine whether a complete bony union occurs, if delayed...
Objective: To evaluate the use of active controlled motion (ACM) after unstable ankle fractures needing initial partial weight-bearing. Design: Prospective randomized trial. Setting: Inpatient and outpatient clinic. Subjects: A total 50 patients with need for weight-bearing six weeks. Interventions: Randomization in two groups: physiotherapy alone or an additional ACM device. Main measures: Follow-up 6 12 Range motion, visual analogue scale foot (VAS FA), Philip score, Mazur American...
(1) Background: Bone substitutes are essential in orthopaedic surgery to fill up large bone defects. Thus, the aim of study was compare diverse fillers biomechanically each other a clinical-relevant test set-up and detect differences stability handling for clinical use. (2) Methods: This combined compressive strength tests screw pullout-tests with dynamic biomechanical fracture model. Beyond well-established (ChronOSTM Inject Graftys® Quickset), two newly designed substitutes, magnesium...
Barbed suture material offers the possibility of knotless flexor tendon repair, as suggested in an increasing number biomechanical studies. There are currently two different absorbable barbed products available, V-Loc™ and Stratafix™, both have not been compared to each other with regard repair. The purpose this study was evaluate materials for primary stability under static cyclic loading a ex vivo model. Forty fresh porcine digitorum profundus tendons were randomized groups. A four-strand...
Copal® spacem is a new PMMA bone cement for fabricating spacers. This study compares elution of gentamicin, vancomycin, and compressive strength Palacos® R+G at different vancomycin loadings in the powder cements. We hypothesized that antibiotic superior comparable strength.Compression test specimens were fabricated using manually loaded with 0.5 g gentamicin additionally 2 g, 4 6 per 40 (COP specimens) premixed (PAL specimens). These used determination (in fetal calf serum, 22°C) both prior...
The formation of capsular fibrosis around silicone breast implants is a common complication in reconstructive and plastic surgery. Foreign body reaction-induced infections are quite because the hydrophobic surface properties are, addition, considered to be causative factor fibrosis.In this experimental pilot study, 2 groups 7 Sprague-Dawley rats were established evaluate periprosthetic collagen synthesis after implantation coated implants. In first group, textured minisilicone implanted...
Background: Subcutaneous fixation of the anterior pelvic ring is an emerging surgical technique for trauma patients. The aim this study was to biomechanically evaluate 2 internal devices stabilizing a disrupted and compare them with traditional external fixation. Methods: Thirty-six synthetic pelvises simulated unstable fracture (anteroposterior compression type III) were divided into 3 groups. Group A underwent supra-acetabular fixator; group B, fixator using USS II polyaxial system; C,...
Separation of the pubic symphysis with corresponding diastasis can be stabilized by symphyseal plating.Which pelvic injuries are plating and what is their outcome?A retrospective evaluation 64 patients who underwent over a period 24 months was conducted.Of 56 were male 8 female mean age 44 years (SD ± 17 years). The main cause traffic accidents. distribution according to AO fracture classification 14 × B1, 10 B2, 5 B3, 23 C1, 9 C2 3 C3 injuries. Young Burgess showed APC I, 18 II, 13 III, LC...
Gantry-free cone-beam CT (CBCT) allows for comfortable patient positioning due to an open scanner architecture. Since CBCT without gantry is not yet established clinical wrist trauma imaging, this study's aim was investigate its diagnostic value in the preoperative workup of patients with distal radius and scaphoid fractures.Within a 12-month period, 113 severe underwent both radiography same gantry-free multi-use before surgery. Two radiologists retrospectively analyzed all datasets...
To compare anterior plate fixation (SP fixation) both alone and in combination with an additional posterior sacroiliac screw (SP+SIS as a treatment for pelvic ring injuries widening of the pubic symphysis disruption to ligaments.
