Mechanical and physicochemical outcomes were used to predict the resorption rate of polylactide-based internal fixation devices with and without incorporation of an osteoconductive buffer. Devices were degraded in vitro for 1 year. Addition of an osteoconductive buffer to a resorbable polymer intern
## Abstract We studied the influence of different parameters of bone quality on the fixation strength of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures and examined the relationship between these parameters. Bone quality was measured in the plateau of 16 cadaveric tibias using three modalities: dualβenergy Xβ
The purpose of this study was to investigate the bone-implant interface of high-strength hydroxyapatite (HA)/poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) composite rods. As reinforcing particles, two types of HA particles-calcined HA (c-HA) and uncalcined HA (u-HA)-were applied to allow comparison of their suitability as
## 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
