Introduction: In this study, our aim was to examine the relationship between the arthroplasty surgeons' experience level and their aptitude to adjust the cable tension to the value recommended by the manufacturer when asked to provide fixation with cables in artificial bones that underwent extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO). Materials and Methods: A custom-made cable tensioning device with a microvoltmeter was used to measure the tension values in Newtons (N). An ETO was performed on 4 artificial femur bones. Surgeons at various levels of experience attending the IXth National Arthroplasty Congress were asked to fix the osteotomized fragment using 1.7-mm cables and the tensioning device. The participants' demographic and experience data were investigated and recorded. The surgeons with different level of experience repeated the tensioning test 3 times and the average of these measurements were recorded. Results: In 19 (35.2%) of the 54 participants, the force applied to the cable was found to be greater than the 490.33 N (50 kg) value recommended by the manufacturer. No statistically significant difference was determined between the surgeon's years of experience, the number of cases, and the number of cables used and the tension applied over the recommended maximum value (P = .475, P = .312, and P = .691, respectively). Conclusions: No significant relationship was found between the arthroplasty surgeon's level of experience and the adjustment of the cable with the correct tension level. For this reason, we believe that the use of tensioning devices with calibrated tension gauges by orthopedic surgeons would help in reducing the number of complications that may occur due to the cable.

The effect of hip rotation on bone mineral density of the proximal femur measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry Celik, Oezguer; Salci, Yasar; MANİSALI, METİN; Korkusuz, Feza (2009-01-01) Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of lower extremity position changes on hip bone mineral density measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
THE MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND IN VIVO EVALUATION OF POROUS TiNi AS GRAFT MATERIAL Arpak, Bertan; Araz, Kenan; Nakas, Ipek; Bor, Sakir; Nergiz, Ibrahim (2012-09-01) To obtain TiNi foams with interconnected pores that have surface quality necessary for bone growth in addition to required mechanical performance, sintering with the space holder technique was employed in this study, which aimed to evaluate the bone healing process of TiNi graft materials. For this purpose, processed TiNi foams with three different porosities were placed into the created defects in the femur of rats. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the processed TiNi foams were conducted via monotoni...
The mechanical properties of intact and traumatized epidural catheters Ates, Y; Yucesoy, CA; Unlu, MA; Saygin, B; Akkas, N (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2000-02-01) Comparative data on the mechanical properties of epidural catheters used clinically are not available. We performed a controlled laboratory investigation to assess the mechanical performance of three different intact or traumatized catheter types (Polyurethane, clear nylon, and radiopaque nylon catheters, designed for 18-gauge Tuohy needles). We studied a control (intact) and two trauma groups (needle bevel and surgical blade). Catheters were loaded to their breaking points by using a Lloyd LS500 material t...
Predicting time-dependent remodeling of bone around immediately loaded dental implants with different designs Eser, Atilim; Tönük, Ergin; Akça, Kıvanç; Cehreli, Murat Cavit (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) The purpose of this study was to predict time-dependent biomechanics of bone around cylindrical screw dental implants with different macrogeometric designs under simulated immediate loading condition. The remodeling of bone around a parallel-sided and a tapered dental implant of same length was studied under 100 N oblique load by implementing the Stanford theory into three-dimensional finite element models. The results of the analyses were examined in five time intervals consisting loading immediately after...
The Effect of context luminance on contrast perception Pamir, Zahide; Acartürk, Cengiz; Boyacı, Hüseyin; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2014) The present study has employed psychophysics and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methodologies. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of bottom-up and top-down processing of luminance in contrast perception. In particular, since it is thought that visual illusions occur as a result of top-down processing by means of visual context, the present study investigates how luminance in context affects contrast perception by using brightness illusion. In other words, the purpose of the study ...
