Endograft parameters that should be considered when making the choice are stent configuration, graft material, fixation mechanism, sizes, delivery system, tapered design, and radial force.
Six trials for each screw fixation configuration were performed, and the mean value for the maximum pullout strength of the six trials was determined.
Thirty-six fresh lower thoracic porcine spines were assigned to three groups (12 per group) according to their fixation configuration: (1) pedicle screws, (2) lamina hooks and (3) combination of screws and lamina hooks.
In fact, it is important that the nerve has a straight configuration during the fixation in order to be sure that the nerve keeps its orientation making it possible to cut it transversely [ 24, 25].
Finite element models of three glenoid components with different primary fixation configurations are created.
Four different fixation configurations of K-wires of two different diameters were used to stabilize a transverse osteotomy in chicken humerus bones.
There is also no gold standard for external fixation configurations in the treatment of pelvic ring injuries, even single-rod fixation has been described [ 15].
The aim of this study is to understand the mechanical characteristics of the postoperative femur in subject receiving the new type of L-osteotomy with various fixation configurations and different osteotomy lengths.
Since numerous reports have shown good results in analyzing stress distribution and predicting the postoperative behavior of proximal femur osteotomies, a finite element analysis based on various fixation configurations of the L-osteotomy should be conducted due to the promising results of our previous clinical experience.
For all fixation configurations after the L-osteotomy, the most proximal screw on the lower fragment was positioned 3 mm below the horizontal osteotomy and designated as D1 as described by Papavasilio whereas the most distal screw on the upper fragment was designated as P1.
