BackgroundEccentric exercises have the most evidence in conservative treatment of midportion Achilles tendinopathy. Although short-term studies show significant improvement, little is known of the long-term (>3 years) results.AimTo evaluate the…
-
An ideal scaffold that provides a combination of suitable mechanical properties along with biological signals is required for successful ligament/tendon regeneration in mesenchymal stem cell-based tissue engineering strategies. Among the various…

This study analyses the research output of India in malaria research in national and global context, as reflected in its publications output during 1998-2009.

The surgical correction of hammer toe deformity of the lesser toes is one of the most commonly performed forefoot procedures. In general, percutaneous Kirschner wires are used to provide fixation to the resected proximal interphalangeal joint.…
-
This is a prospective study comparing the diagnosis of spinal implant infection by conventional peri-implant tissue culture with a technique which uses a combination of vortexing and bath sonication to dislodge bacteria growing as a biofilm on the…
-
BACKGROUND: Recent studies concerning the free fibular graft have focused on the high prevalence of donor-site morbidity. The prevalence of ankle pain has been reported to range from 10% to 40%, but its etiology is unclear. The literature is vague…
-
A biomechanical analysis of shoulder stabilization: posteroinferior glenohumeral capsular plication.BACKGROUND: The use of posterior capsular plication to decrease capsular volume and address capsular laxity for treatment of posterior instability, multidirectional instability, or as an additional technique in the treatment of anterior instability…
-
To understand and characterize the kinematic properties of the 2 coracoclavicular ligaments and to evaluate the biomechanical performance of a new 3-tunnel reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligaments by use of a free tendon graft.
-
BACKGROUND: Compared to the design of a traditional multi-axis total knee arthroplasty, the single-axis arthroplasty studied has a fixed flexion/extension center of rotation in the femoral component. The influence of this characteristic on…
-
OBJECTIVES: To compare the biomechanical stability of internal fixation of extra-articular, dorsally unstable distal radius fractures fixed by 1 of 2 methods, either a standard dorsal nonlocked T-plate or a volar locked fixed-angle plate. DESIGN:…
-
Different surgical methods of graft fixation in ACL reconstruction were examined to determine the effects on mechanical properties of the reconstructed ACL. Ten human cadavers were used in this study. Six different types of grafts were studied. The…
-
OBJECTIVE: To determine mechanical differences between two plates with different requirements for supplementary casting after pancarpal arthrodesis (PCA): the Veterinary Instrumentation Hybrid Dynamic Compression Plate (HDCP), and the OrthoMed…
-
Displacement transducers were placed across the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments of 17 fresh cadaver (78.4 6.7 years old at death) lower extremities. Displacements induced by various clinical tests (squeeze, fibula translation, Cotton,…
-
In this study the functional abilities of eight one-stage bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) patients were compared to five two-stage bilateral TKR and nine control subjects. The TKR individuals were an average of 62 months post-operative. Based…
-
Tibial fixation of soft tissue grafts continues to be problematic in the early postoperative period after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
-
A dynamic model of the biomechanics of the index finger for flexion-extension and abduction-adduction motion is introduced. The model takes into account all the tendons in the finger and relates to their varying moment arms during motion. A new set…
-
BACKGROUND: Ruptured Achilles tendons benefit from primary repair by decreasing re-rupture rates and allowing earlier range of motion. A stronger repair might allow for more aggressive rehabilitation decreasing postoperative stiffness, calf atrophy,…
-
We studied thirty-three normal patients, eighteen women and fifteen men, for normal motion and the amount of elbow motion required for fifteen activities of daily living. The amounts of elbow flexion and forearm rotation (pronation and supination)…
-
STUDY DESIGN: An in vitro biomechanical investigation to quantify the endplates resistance to compressive loads, in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Comparisons were made to determine the regional strength of the endplate, the optimal size and…
