In this experimental study, the goal was to test the sufficiency of actual fixation plates in zygomatic complex fractures and the efficiency of a modified plate at the zygomaticofrontal suture in a suitable model, which was designed for biomechanical study. To address this issue, a zygomatic fracture model produced by using a cadaveric cranium was simulated and the fractures were fixed by the actual and modified fixation materials. The force simulating masseter muscle pull was applied with the Lloyd material testing apparatus, and the rotation of the zygoma was determined using displacement transducers. In this study, there were three different experimental groups. Although miniplates at the zygomaticomaxillary buttress and microplates at the infraorbital rim were used in all three groups, three different plates (miniplate, microplate, and modified plate) were used at the frontozygomatic suture in these groups. Rotational displacement of the zygoma with the effects of simulated masseter muscle force was determined. According to the results obtained, microplates are not effective in stabilizing the frontozygomatic suture when the masseter muscle forces are within physiological range. Although miniplates stabilize zygomatic complex fractures, it was shown that modified microplates, which have no ondulation along the plate border, have a higher resistance to rotation than that of the conventional plates. The rotation angle at the instant of fracture with microplates was 4.59, and that with miniplates was 1.26. The maximum rotation angle with modified microplates was 0.32. Modified microplates designed for the fixation of fractures in the zygomatico-orbital region have been shown to be suitable in a well-designed experimental model and might be appropriate for clinical use.

Aykan, Andac; Ozturk, Serdar; Sahin, Ismail; Gürses, Senih; Ural, Ali Ugur; Oren, Nisa Cem; Isik, Selcuk (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013-03-01)
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bone marrow-derived stem cells on consolidation period by using a new biomechanical testing method on sheep mandible model.
Surgical repair of cartilage defects of the patella
Atik, OS; Korkusuz, Feza (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2001-08-01)
The structure and biomechanical forces on the patellar joint challenges researchers to define an ideal method for resurfacing the patellar cartilage. The articular surface of the patella presents variability between individuals, and has various minor articulations that bear partial or total compressive, shear, and combined forces during movement. Surgical techniques for the repair of patellar cartilage defects have evolved from cumulative advances in basic science and technology. Such surgeries include the ...
Functional evaluation of intraarticular severely comminuted fractures of the calcaneus with gait analysis
BOZKURT, Murat; Kentel, B. Behzat; Yavuzer, Gunes; Öçgüder, Ali; Heycan, Cengiz; Tönük, Ergin (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-01)
Twenty-one patients (23 feet) treated nonsurgically for severely comminuted intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus were evaluated prospectively with a clinical scoring scale and computerized gait analysis. All patients had Sanders type III and type IV fractures. The treatment protocol consisted of no closed reduction, immobilization in removable splint, physiotherapy after edema subsided, and weightbearing after 8 weeks. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 2 years (mean, 38 months). Clinical results ...
Composite clinoptilolite/PCL-PEG-PCL scaffolds for bone regeneration: In vitro and in vivo evaluation
Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Altunbas, Korhan; Yaprakci, Volkan; Erdemli, Ozge; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2020-01-01)
In this study, clinoptilolite (CLN) was employed as a reinforcement in a polymer-based composite scaffold in bone tissue engineering and evaluated in vivo for the first time. Highly porous, mechanically stable, and osteogenic CLN/PCL-PEG-PCL (CLN/PCEC) scaffolds were fabricated with modified particulate leaching/compression molding technique with varying CLN contents. We hypothesized that CLN reinforcement in a composite scaffold will improve bone regeneration and promote repair. Therefore, the scaffolds we...
Predicting the Outcome of Limb Revascularization in Patients With Lower-extremity Arterial Trauma: Development and External Validation of a Supervised Machine-learning Algorithm to Support Surgical Decisions.
Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Sharrock, Anna; Rickard, Rory; Marsh, William; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R M (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2020-10-01)
Objectives: Estimating the likely success of limb revascularization in patients with lower-extremity arterial trauma is central to decisions between attempting limb salvage and amputation. However, the projected outcome is often unclear at the time these decisions need to be made, making them difficult and threatening sound judgement. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model that can quantify an individual patient's risk of failed revascularization. Methods: A BN progno...
