As one of the leading causes of elderly patients' hospitalisation, proximal femur fractures
(PFFs) will present an increasing socioeconomic problem in the near future. This is a result …

Hip fractures are a leading cause of hospitalisation in elderly patients, representing an
increasing socioeconomic problem arising from demographic changes, considering the …

Background partial-thickness rotator cuff tears frequently enlarge due to increased local
strain and often progress to full-thickness tears. Studies suggest the addition of new …

This article aims to review the biomechanical evolution of intramedullary nailing and
describe the breakthrough concepts which allowed for nail improvement and its current …

Mechano-regulation plays a crucial role in bone healing and involves complex cellular
events. In this study, we investigate the change of mechanical microenvironment of stem …

While formation and regeneration of the skeleton have been studied for a long period of
time, significant scientific advances in this field continue to emerge based on an unmet …

Dynamization, increasing the interfragmentary movement (IFM) by reducing the fixation
stiffness from a rigid to a more flexible condition, is widely used clinically to promote fracture …

The stiffness of fracture fixation devices together with musculoskeletal loading defines the
mechanical environment within a long bone fracture, and can be quantified by the …

Proximal femur fracture fixation with intramedullary nailing relies on stability at the fracture
site and integrity of the fixation construct to achieve union. The biomechanics that dictate …

Background The Ilizarov method and fixator are clinically recognised for the treatment of
fractures, limb salvage and deformity correction. There have been extensive studies …
