Different calcaneal plates with locked screws were compared in an experimental model of a calcaneal
Objectives. The treatment of osteoporotic fractures is a major challenge, and the enhancement of healing is critical as a major goal in modern
Objectives. To assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a virtual

Objectives. There are various pin-in-plaster methods for treating fractures
of the distal radius. The purpose of this study is to introduce
a modified technique of ‘pin in plaster’. Methods. Fifty-four patients with
Objectives. Intramedullary fixation is considered the most stable treatment for pertrochanteric
Objectives. The patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire are patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used for clinical and research purposes. Methodological high-quality clinimetric studies that determine the measurement properties of these PROMs when used in patients with a distal radial
Objectives. Healing in cancellous metaphyseal bone might be different from
midshaft fracture healing due to different access to mesenchymal
stem cells, and because metaphyseal bone often heals without a cartilaginous
phase. Inflammation plays an important role in the healing of a
shaft
Our aim was to investigate whether nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms, responsible for the generation of NO, are expressed during the healing of
We have undertaken a prospective study in patients with a
The medial periosteal hinge plays a key role in
This study was designed to test the hypothesis
that the sensory innervation of bone might play an important role
in sensing and responding to low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and
explain its effect in promoting fracture healing. In 112 rats a
standardised mid-shaft tibial
In an osteological collection of 3100 specimens, 70 were found with unilateral clavicular
We used a rabbit model to investigate the mechanism by which the angulation of
We have evaluated four different fixation techniques for the reconstruction of a standard Mason type-III
The aim of our study was to investigate whether placing of the femoral component of a hip resurfacing in valgus protected against spontaneous
The haematoma occurring at the site of a
There is evidence that fractures heal more rapidly in patients with head injury. We measured the circulating level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6R) and soluble glycoprotein 130 (sgp130) in serum from patients who had sustained a head injury with and without
We have investigated the anatomy of the proximal part of the ulna to assess its influence on the use of plates in the management of
