External Fixators are a common technique used to treat a variety of issues related to bones,
predominantly due to its non-intrusive nature and versatility in terms of form and materials …

The concept of supporting fractured long bones externally with mechanical fixation has been
evidentially applied for over 2000 years, and since been expanded on in the mid-19th …

This study aims to enhance the understanding of the relationship between Ilizarov fixator
configuration and its effects on bone fracture healing. Using Taylor spatial frame (TSF) as an …

Background The use of circular frames in correcting lower limb deformity is well-established
and has evolved dramatically over the years. Three new frames have been introduced …

This paper proposes an approach to derive the Jacobian matrix of a hybrid mechanism by
applying a velocity operator to the transformation matrix. This Jacobian matrix is capable of …

Background High energy open tibial fractures are complex injuries with no consensus on the
optimal method of fixation. Treatment outcomes are often reported with union and re …

The Ilizarov external fixator plays an important role in the correction of complex malformed
limbs. Our purpose in this work was to reveal the transmission of adjustable forces between …

» Many protein signaling pathways contribute to skeletal repair during the different phases of
distraction osteogenesis. During distraction, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their …

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association between grip strength as diagnostic
criteria of sarcopenia and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in Korean elderly. Methods …

Abstract Development of reconstructed three dimensional (3D) model of bones has
successfully emerged from time to time. It is used in many engineering applications …
