Fracture healing is a critically important clinical event for fracture patients and for clinicians
who take care of them. The clinical evaluation of fracture healing is based on both …

Internal fixation of bone fractures by plate osteosynthesis has continuously evolved for more
than 100 years. The aim of internal fracture fixation has always been to restore the functional …

After trauma, fractured bone starts healing directly through bone union or indirectly through
callus formation process. Intramembranous and endochondral ossification are two …

Background In the present study, 4 different metallic implant materials, either partly coated or
polished, were tested for their osseointegration and biocompatibility in a pelvic implantation …

Background This study aimed to investigate the influence of the screw location and plate
working length of a locking plate construct at the distal femur on interfragmentary movement …

The development of far cortical locking (FCL) was motivated by a conundrum: locked plating
constructs provide inherently rigid stabilization, yet they should facilitate biologic fixation and …

Background: Mechanotransduction is theorized to influence fracture-healing, but optimal
fracture-site motion is poorly defined. We hypothesized that three-dimensional (3-D) fracture …

The goal of minimally invasive surgery in extramedullary internal fixation has led to the
development of flexible plates, bridging plates, and locked internal fixators. The change from …

Numerous studies have shown that the mechanical conditions at the fracture site, principally
the fixation stability, influences callus formation during fracture healing. 1, 2 This article …

Objectives: Document fixation and healing of distal femur fractures stabilized by plate
osteosynthesis using far cortical locking (FCL) screws. Design: Prospective and …
