Bone has a remarkable endogenous regenerative capacity that enables scarless healing
and restoration of its prior mechanical function, even under challenging conditions such as …

Distal femur fractures occur in a periarticular fracture pattern and disproportionately afflict an
aging population. Although the goals of treatment have not changed, the emergence of new …

Background Unstable intertrochanteric fractures present a challenge to orthopaedic
surgeons, with varied geometry of the fractures and a wide choice of implants and …

Clinical findings, manufacturer instructions, and surgeon's preferences often dictate the
implantation of distal femur locked plates (DFLPs), but healing problems and implant failures …

Introduction Anaemia in patients with trochanteric fracture is associated with increased
morbidity and mortality and it is an independent risk factor for functional mobility of patients …

Objectives. The optimization for the screw configurations and bone plate parameters was
studied to improve the biomechanical performances such as reliable internal fixation and …

This proof-of-concept study designs distal femur fracture plates from semi-rigid materials vs.
traditional metals for toe-touch weight-bearing recommended to patients immediately after …

Purpose: Internal fixation device failure is rare but unavoidable. Fatigue-related mechanisms
are responsible for most mechanical failures of orthopedic plates. Plate design needs to be …

Comminuted proximal tibia fractures are an ongoing surgical challenge. This “proof of
concept” study is the first step in designing a new percutaneous plate for this injury under toe …

Summary Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a multifactorial and disabling
disorder with complex etiology and pathogenesis. Goals of therapy in CRPS should be pain …
