This facilitated maintenance of alignment between proximal, intermediate and distal bone segments.
Patients were followed weekly on an outpatient basis for anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs to ensure maintenance of alignment for 2 weeks.
This chapter reviews the early history of gelatin gel testing and discusses the necessity for frequent maintenance of alignment and adjustment of the Bloom Gelometer.
reported better results using less invasive stabilization system (LISS) plate in terms of maintenance of alignment and early return to preoperative functional status as compared with three other devices [30].
Furthermore, addition of TGF-β1 to the culture media did not interfere with this maintenance of alignment (Figs. 1c and 1d).
Using a retrograde locking nail, the accepted goals of calcaneotalotibial arthrodesis, which are union, maintenance of hindfoot alignment, limitation of complications and overall patient satisfaction, have been achieved.
Many studies have documented the efficacy of lateral mass screws, but there are no studies examining the alignment maintenance capability and few large studies examining the complications associated with the use of these devices in cervical spine trauma.
In C3KO mice, abnormal A-bands were seen, suggesting a role for calpain 3 in correct formation of sarcomeres or maintenance of sarcomere alignment [14].
For instance, maintenance of cell alignment is essential for muscle, cardiovascular/blood vessel, and corneal and nerve tissue engineering in which the controlling tissue microarchitecture and biological function are tightly connected.
Although there was a trend toward a better maintenance of global alignment in group 1 patients, this was not statistically significant in RH, RI, and UV (all P ≥ 0.267) (Table 5 and Figure 2).
