The fixation applied to hold the segments created by osteotomy is stable.
In some scenarios it may be preferable to make a small separate posterolateral oblique incision just above the tendon of biceps femoris in order to reach the posterolateral corner of the plateau and insert a fixation screw to hold the said fragment [12].
In particular: (1) The osteotomy is low energy and preserves the soft tissue envelope and vascularity (2) The fixation applied to hold the segments created by osteotomy is stable (3) A latency period follows the osteotomy (4) The distraction rate and rhythm is appropriate to the level and type of bone divided. .
Once the fractures were reduced, temporary K-wire fixation was used to hold the fragments in place.
Rotator cuff surgery aims to provide tendon fixation secure enough to hold the repaired tendon in place until biological healing occurs [ 1].
Monkeys were required to hold fixation within a 1-deg diameter window throughout stimulus presentation; the trial was automatically aborted if fixation instability (microsaccade amplitude) exceeded 0.25 deg at any time during stimulus presentation.
The monkey's task was to hold fixation until a target appeared, and then at its offset (FP change to green) to make an immediate saccade to its location for juice reward (required latency < 500 ms).
This is likely a consequence of monkey K being unable to hold fixation; he was free to saccade during the choice epoch and selected using a joystick response after 1000 ms.
For no-go trials (T absent), the monkey was required to hold fixation for the whole 1000 ms response interval and was then either given immediate reward (monkey B) or was rewarded for a further saccadic response (monkey A).
In addition, the six fixation techniques are mainly used to hold quadrilateral plate fractures instead of the other part of acetabular fracture.
