Two jack screws enabled the deck to be raised or lowered in relation to the pontoon, so that it remained at approximately the same height, whatever the state of the tide.
In conclusion, this pilot study indicates that local delivery of a low dose of ZOL, linked to a fibrinogen matrix, on the surface of titanium bone screws enables early bone regeneration.
This block was not screwed, enabling its bucco-palatal movement.
After the confirmation of patella tracking, the transferred osteotomized fragment was then fixed securely with one or two 4.5-mm cortical screws to enable the patient to start an immediate range of knee motion exercises (Figs. 3, 4).
The DLSs are a new generation of locking screws that enables the surgeon to control the rigidity of plating constructs.
4. By reducing the difference between bone and implant stiffness it potentially reduces the force peak on single screws and enables a more homogenous force distribution.
In some matrices the centre screwed outward, enabling the device to be used without a legend.
A specially designed dual orifice capillary die was attached to a pilot scale twin screw extruder, enabling two flow rates to be collected at one extruder condition.
The design of the dynamic locking screw (DLS) enables the dynamisation of the cortex underneath the plate (cis-cortex) and, therefore, allows almost parallel interfragmentary closure of the fracture gap.
Consequently, the prior mentioned press-fit fixation without a screw was enabled.
