Total hip arthroplasty causes biomechanical changes in the normal femur, including a redistribution and concentration of stress. These mechanical alterations in the femur cause local remodeling and resorption that affect the geometry and mechanical properties of the bone. Two complementary ultrasoni

To evaluate soft tissue reactions and biofilm formation on percutaneous external fixator screws coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC) and hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on stainless-steel (SS) pins in an ovine loaded osteotomy model, an Orthofix external fixator was used to stabilize a 3-mm tibial mid
## Abstract Scanning electron micrographs were made of the surfaces of silicone rubber finger joint prostheses which had been subjected to 10^7^ bending cycles at 37Β°C in bovine serum. Preferential attack at the regions of highest stress and the formation of microcracks of length 10ΞΌ and less were
## Abstract We evaluated bone microhardness at the interface with hydroxyapatiteβcoated stainlessβsteel pins used in an external fracture fixation system. Pins were transversally inserted into the diaphyses of sheep tibiae and were loaded in for 6 weeks. Uncoated pins were implanted as controls. Mi
