Many mammalian and avian species have been used as models to study fracture healing.
The individual animals, based on their size and other characteristics, are used to show the …

Interlocking nailing has been increasingly used to treat acute and chronic afflictions of long
bones. Although the interlocking construct is similar, regardless of the anatomic area of …

The results of treatment of fractures of the femoral shaft with static interlocking nailing were
reviewed retrospectively to determine the clinical importance of any stress-riser or stress …

Early axial dynamization and its effect on experimental tibial bone healing was compared
with healing under rigid fixation in a time-sequenced manner using dogs. An external fixator …

Using standard material testing techniques (bending stiffness, torsional stiffness, and
maximum torque to failure or yield torque), the structural properties of interlocking nails (IN) …

Background: The concept of reverse dynamization involves modifying the mechanical
environment surrounding a fracture to influence the healing response. Initially, less rigid …

Dynamisation of a previously interlocked intramedullary nail is believed to stimulate an
osteogenic response due to increased load across the fracture site. The purpose of this …

This prospective randomized comparative study evaluated the role of dynamization of
interlocking nails after open reduction and internal fixation of femoral shaft fractures. Fifty …

The optimal balance between mechanical environment and biological factors is crucial for
successful bone healing, as they synergistically affect bone development. Any imbalance …

The need for reaming and the number of locking screws to be used in intramedullary (IM)
tibial nailing of acute fractures as well as routine bone grafting of tibial aseptic nonunions …
