Purpose Optimal anatomical reduction and stable fixation of acetabular fractures are
important in avoiding secondary dislocation and osteoarthritis. Biomechanical studies of …

Objectives Conventional dental implants inserted in the molar region of the maxilla will
reach into the sinus maxillaris when alveolar ridge height is limited. When surgery is …

The application of measurement technology in golf is increasing. In particular, measures of
golf performance are valuable to coaches, golfers, club-fitters and equipment manufacturers …

Introduction Although the gold standard in open book pelvic fractures remains the pubic
symphysis (PS) plate fixation, the clinical outcomes are not satisfactory, despite the excellent …

Background: Open reduction and internal fixation with a plate is deemed to represent the
gold standard of surgical treatment for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Standard …

Introduction Surgical treatment of bi-condylar tibial plateau fractures is still challenging due
to the complexity of the fracture and the difficult surgical approach. Coronal fracture lines are …

Objectives The current biomechanical work compares the symphyseal and sacroiliac
stability obtained with two systems of bone osteosynthesis. The two methods of fixation …

Background A mechanical characterisation of lag screw fixation plus locking plate–although
clinically widely used as either “mixed fixation concept” or absolutely stable fixation–is so far …

Bi-condylar tibial plateau fractures are demanding to treat due to the complex geometry and
the articular comminution. The presence of a coronal fracture line plays a crucial role in the …

Objective: The investigation hypothesized that in current anatomical precontoured plates,
angular stability plays only a minor role for the efficacy of the osteosynthesis at the distal …
