Sentence examples for fixation ring from inspiring English sources

This may be due to the surface structure of the cages, which either feature teeth (PEEK) or are coated with Plasmapore® and use a fixation ring (TTN).

Smaller movements within the fixation ring (within the 3° critical window) were not classified as orienting movements; such corrective movements are a ubiquitous component of saccadic orienting and prolonged fixation (Carpenter, 1988).

The oxygen-monitoring electrodes were coupled to the skin using adhesive fixation rings, and an electrolytic solution was used and set to maintain a temperature of 44°C.

In a matched cohort study on the treatment of high-grade tibial plateau fractures comparing internal fixation and ring fixator, Veri et al. [19].

Generally, current recommendations for primary and revision arthrodesis favor internal compression techniques involving the use of screws or plate fixation or ring external fixation in patients with poor bone stock (Anderson et al. 1997, Easly et al. 2008, Zwipp et al. 2010).

Conclusion: The similarity in ankle fusion site stability achieved with external ring fixation and an optimized screw fixation technique under the described testing conditions indicates that, in cases in which suboptimal bone quality or complex ankle pathology preclude the use of internal fixation, an external fixator is a viable option.

In a case report, Facaros combined internal plate fixation with a ring external fixator (i.e. Ilizarov) [ 12].

Clinical Relevance: Establishing that the primary stability of external ring fixation is comparable to that of screw fixation provides a basis for its use in cases in which screw fixation may be problematic.

To determine the incidence of complications of external fixation in pelvic ring injuries, comparing fixator use for temporary and definitive treatment.

Background: The use of external ring fixation for ankle arthrodesis offers an alternative to internal screw fixation when bone quality is suboptimal, when complex ankle pathology is present, and as a salvage procedure for complicated cases.

This is of particular importance for treatment, because the theoretical efficacy of pelvic ring fixation is based on the principle that the retroperitoneal space is closed or can be closed by fixation of the pelvic ring.
