## Abstract Internal fixators are a new class of implants designed to preserve the periosteal blood supply of the bone. In contrast to conventional plate fixation in which the screws have spherical heads and are loaded mainly by axial pullout forces, screws in internal fixators are βlockedβ within

Immobilized bisphosphonates (BPs) have been introduced to improve implant fixation, however, no information could be found about the efficiency of this approach in osteoporotic bone. This study was designed to evaluate the bone response to surface immobilized BPs on implants inserted in tibiae of ov
Initial rigid fixation is essential for bone ingrowth into a porous-coated prosthesis. In this study, the amount of micromotion between a cut tibial surface and a custom tibial baseplate mounted with various types of screw fixation was measured. Motion transducers were placed at the corners of the b
## Abstract Injury of the growth plate is a specific problem in traumatology and can cause limb deformity and length discrepancy as a result of growth arrest. The purpose of this study was to evaluate alterations of the growth plate after artificially created injuries. A total of 14 New Zealand Whi
The relative effects of thickness and material strength level on the in-plane forming limits of thin sheets of a low carbon Deep Drawing Steel has been experimentally investigated. To investigate the effects of sheet thickness at constant strength, the sheet material was chemically thinned from a st
