Sentence examples for fatigue fixation from inspiring English sources

In this study three implants were investigated and compared to our previous study using the same experimental setup and protocol, thus comparing the static and fatigue fixation stability provided by the following five different medial open-wedge HTO plates: the TomoFix std plate, the PEEK Power plate, the iBalance implant, the Contour Lock HTO plate and the TomoFix sm plate.

Quantitative assessment of fatigue behaviour of cement fixation on acetabular side has been difficult due to the complexity of the pelvic bone geometry and the associated loading conditions.

The experimenter remained present throughout testing to monitor fixation and fatigue.

Shoulder arthrodesis after resection requires graft augmentation, which is further fraught with the risk of fatigue fractures or failure of fixation [14].

They found that pedicle screw augmentation with polymethyl methacrylate improves the initial fixation strength and fatigue strength of instrumentation in osteoporotic vertebrae.

Third, we did not simulate a physiologic loading condition which is cyclic in nature; therefore we were unable to evaluate fatigue failure of these six fixation techniques under the cyclic loading.

There are reports that increased fixation disparities coincide with fatigue and eye strain at near vision [21], [22].

The authors were unable to locate any published reports of fatigue failure of titanium cables in the fixation of atlantoaxial instability.

However, internal fixation is likely to cause fatigue damage, and may lead to screw and rod loosening or fracture.

Once osseointegration has occurred, decreased load on the cage minimizes the risk of fatigue fracture compensating the inability for biologic fixation.

In contrast, bone graft that is not remodeled retains its load-bearing capacity (Parks and Engh 1997) but with time will be prone to fatigue fractures, which could weaken the implant fixation.
