INFLUENCE OF THE SCREW POSITIONING ON THE STABILITY OF LOCKING PLATE FOR PROXIMAL TIBIAL FRACTURES: A NUMERICAL APPROACH

Influence of the Screw Positioning on the Stability of Locking Plate for Proximal Tibial Fractures: A Numerical Approach

Tibial fractures are common injuries in people.The proper treatment of these fractures is important in order to recover complete mobility.The aim of this work was to investigate if screw positioning in plates for proximal tibial fractures can affect the stability of the system, and if it can consequently influence the patient healing time.In fact,

Risk factors and evaluation of keratoconus progression after penetrating keratoplasty with anterior segment optical coherence tomography

Abstract To determine the risk factors and unique characteristics of keratoconus (KC) progression after penetrating keratoplasty (PK), anterior segment optical coherence tomography parameters were statistically analyzed in comparison with eyes undergoing PK for other diseases as a control.Ninety-one eyes maintaining clear PK grafts for over 10 year

Bark tissue transcriptome analyses of inverted Populus yunnanensis cuttings reveal the crucial role of plant hormones in response to inversion

Inverted cuttings of Populus yunnanensis exhibit an interesting growth response to inversion.This response is characterized by enlargement of the stem above the shoot site, while the upright stem shows obvious outward growth below the shoot site.In this study, we examined transcriptome changes in bark tissue at four positions on upright and inverte
