Abstract

Managing the outcome of bone fracture healing is one of the most challenging tasks that a&#13;veterinary orthopedic surgeon has to accomplish. On top of the difficulties involved with&#13;unusual patient morphology, tight budgets and often short times to plan out surgeries in&#13;traumatic cases, surgeons have to deal with the delicate trade-off between assuring fracture&#13;stability and leaving enough interfragmentary motion to promote optimal bone healing on&#13;a case by case basis. While handbooks provide general guidelines for surgeons to follow in&#13;some situations, decisions are still often based on their experience and expertise gained on&#13;previous cases.&#13;&#13;Subject-specific models display the potential to positively alter the outcome of surgical operations&#13;by providing surgeons with numerical twins to test treatments on. They have&#13;previously been shown to be able to reproduce mechanical responses of both intact and&#13;orthopedically repaired bones. A continuation of these works is conducted here.&#13;In this thesis, an exploratory study is conducted to assess the capability of a Continuum&#13;Damage Mechanics-based remodeling model to represent the healing characteristics found&#13;in bone fracture healing. Along the way, the full numerical pipeline from the initial CT&#13;image to the Finite Element simulation is didactically presented and improvements made&#13;to it are detailed.&#13;&#13;Results include improvements to the image-to-mesh pipeline to increase its modularity and&#13;robustness. Meshes generated using the improved pipeline show greatly enhanced quality&#13;characteristics.&#13;Results also show that the extension of the Continuum Damage Mechanics-based remodeling&#13;model is able to qualitatively describe the multi-staged nature of bone fracture healing&#13;from a mechanical point of view.

Abstract

Obtain the best outcomes from the latest techniques with help from a ""who's who"" of pediatric orthopaedic trauma experts! Considered as the ""go-to"" reference for orthopaedic trauma surgeons and pediatric orthopaedic trauma surgeons, Green's Skeletal Trauma in Children presents practical, focused guidance on managing traumatic musculoskeletal injuries in children and adolescents. It emphasizes the unique aspects of children's fractures in terms of epidemiology, mechanisms, management, and the challenges of treating the skeletally immature patient. State-of-the-art coverage includes crucial

Abstract

This pocket-sized, user-friendly text provides a simple guide for the treatment of common orthopedic fractures of the upper extremity, focusing on techniques, tips and tricks. It utilizes a case-based structure with great attention given to the specific steps required to obtain excellent outcomes while also pointing out pitfalls and ways to salvage intraoperative complications. The chapters are presented anatomically from shoulder to fingertips, beginning with clavicle fractures, acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joint injuries and scapula fractures. The various types of fracture to the humerus, elbow, radius and ulna follow, with concluding chapters covering fractures and dislocations of the wrist and hand. Throughout the book, a consistent chapter format is followed, comprised of an introduction, clinical presentation and diagnosis, relevant radiology, management strategies, outcomes, and clinical pearls and pitfalls. Incorporating the most recent implants and operative techniques, Tips and Tricks for Problem Fractures, Volume I will be a timely and handy resource for orthopedic surgeons, fellows, residents and students.

Abstract

"In its thoroughly revised, updated Seventh Edition, Rockwood and Green's Fractures in Adults offers a complete print package: the established gold-standard two-volume reference on fractures. More than 80 of the world's foremost authorities provide comprehensive coverage of all bone and joint injuries, thoroughly discuss alternative methods for treating each injury, and present their own preferred methods.Coverage begins with a section on General Principles, including biomechanics, classification, epidemiology, principles of internal and external fixation, bone grafting, outcome studies, and imaging. Subsequent sections focus on fractures by anatomic location. Chapters in these sections follow the same organization: principles of management, surgical anatomy, current treatment options, author's preferred treatment, complications, and controversies. This edition has 33 new contributors and new chapters on principles of nerve injury and complex regional pain syndrome; psychological aspects of trauma; gunshot and wartime injuries; principles of mangled extremity management; amputations; limb salvage reconstruction; principles of post-traumatic infections; principles of nonunions; and principles of malunions." -- Provided by the publisher
