Sentence examples for a rigid construct from inspiring English sources

With the development of rib stabilization systems that used modern principles of osteosynthesis, there has been an explosion of systems of rib fixation hardware that both restore anatomical contour of the chest and provide the creation of a rigid construct for bone healing.

Augmentation of the screw with cement and the compressive force applied to the spine column aids in obtaining a rigid construct with good alignment without any neurological complication.

According to the biomechanical study conducted by Mandigo et al. [ 21], the intended flexion and extension movements of the AccuFlex system increase the load transmitted through an anterior interbody graft by more than 50% compared with that afforded by a rigid construct, creating a "load-sharing" capability to increase the potential for fusion through Wolff's law [ 23].
