In orthopedics, bone fixation imposes the use of implants in almost all cases. Over time, the
materials used for the implant have evolved from inert materials to those that mimic the …

This paper aims to provide useful and practical information on the design of composite
prostheses for healing bone fractures and describes the material properties of living tissues …

Despite the worldwide success achieved by total hip arthroplasty (THA), this procedure is
nonetheless associated with a variety of complications that could have deleterious outcomes …

Biomechanics of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the areas where physiology,
engineering, and physics meet. In this article, we will cover biomechanical impacts of …

Pilon fractures are commonly caused by high energy trauma and can result in long-term
immobilization of patients. The use of an external fixator ie the (1) Delta,(2) Mitkovic or (3) …

Current clinical data suggest a higher failure rate for internal fixation in Vancouver type B1
periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) fixations compared to long stem revision in B2 fractures …

Background The incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) around a stable stem is
increasing. The aim of this biomechanical study was to examine how three different methods …

We are currently facing an epidemic of periprosthetic fractures around the hip. They may
occur either during surgery or post-operatively. Although the acetabulum may be involved …

Background Periprosthetic femoral fracture is a severe complication of total hip arthroplasty.
A previous review published in 2011 summarised the biomechanical studies regarding …

While prosthetic devices have been extensively used to treat a wide range of human
diseases and injuries, failure of these devices due to fatigue under cyclic loading has been …
