To adjust for this discrepancy between the PA fixation comparison and the other two comparisons, the relation between significant increases in fMRI and the electrophysiologic measures was reanalysed for only the PA ID and [(PA-fixation) − (ID-fixation)] comparisons.
Owing to a pathological variability in patients' fixation, comparison of CRAO eye with the healthy contralateral eye does not allow reliable results for comparison.
This included comparison of various methods of internal fixation, comparison of internal fixation and arthroplasty (hemi and total), and comparison of hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty (Butler et al. 2011).
As indicated in Table 1, although nine sites had significant changes in fMRI with the PA fixation comparison (four increases), single neuron and especially LFP power changes were infrequent.
Since the magnitude of initial migration differs between uncemented and cemented fixation, comparison of the 2 concepts using the magnitude of migration only and not taking the pattern of migration over time into consideration will not be meaningful.
Furthermore, finger range of motion was significantly more restricted in plate plus screw fixation in comparison with screw only fixation.
The purpose of this study was to determine strength and stiffness of locking plates in a metacarpal fracture model with mono- and bicortical screw fixation in comparison to non-locking plate mono- and bicortical screw fixation, with both types of plates placed at the dorsal side of the bone.
Several studies report a higher incidence of complications [ 11, 22, 40, 58] and less successful long-term results [ 24, 58] regarding stem fixation in comparison to primary THA in osteoarthritic hips of patients without hypoplasia.
Nowadays randomized clinical trials clearly demonstrated an improved functional outcome and a lower rate of malunion and nonunion following surgical plate fixation in comparison to conservative treatment [ 3, 4].
It has been noted before that HER2 protein may not be consistently analyzed in formalin-fixed tissues because of variations in methods and duration of fixation, in comparison to ISH analysis that is less dependent on tissue fixation methods [ 14, 39, 40].
