In doing so, such systems have to be flexible enough to deliver the desired motion while ensuring a certain structural response under operative loads.
The findings of this study emphasise the importance of understanding the expected post-operative loading of bone to better place orthopaedic implants to assist bone healing.
We measured for the first time their in vitro primary stability and analyzed the influence of three clinically important parameters (bone quality, implant size and post-operative loading) on micromotion.
We aimed to measure depression in the articular surface, following simulated post-operative loading.
Co-operative loading of further SYCP3 molecules onto DNA would reinforce nascent loops, and then bridge between them through self-assembly interactions with SYCP3 molecules of adjacent loops.
Decreased post-operative loading has been shown to result in increased organisation of collagen, decreased cellularity and a more elongated cell shape.
Our results demonstrated articular depression, following simulated post-operative loading, of on average 0.61 mm in fractures fixed with a single interference screw, and 0.76 mm in those fixed with parallel, subchondral screws.
The aim of our study is to compare traditional parallel, subchondral screw fixation with the use of an interference screw, assessing maintenance of fracture reduction following simulated post-operative loading, and overall construct strength.
To determine the effectiveness of 'accelerated' compared to 'traditional' post-operative load bearing rehabilitation protocols following matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI).
Lack of gross construct failures during cyclic testing and reasonable stiffness corroborated that our new constructs tested to date seem stable enough to support restricted post-operative loads.
Release of the posterosuperior capsule during hip arthroscopy could therefore potentially increase the post-operative load on the labrum.
