    Assessment of micromotion at the bone-bone interface after coracoid and scapular-spine bone-block augmentation for the reconstruction of critical anterior glenoid bone loss—a biomechanical cadaver study

    Glenoid bone loss is among the most important risk factors for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, and a bony reconstruction is recommended in cases of critical bone loss (> 15%). The commonly used surgic...

    Effect of weightbearing and foot positioning on 3D distal tibiofibular joint parameters

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different loading scenarios and foot positions on the configuration of the distal tibiofibular joint (DTFJ). Fourteen paired human cadaveric lower legs we...

    Influence of thread design on anchorage of pedicle screws in cancellous bone: an experimental and analytical analysis

    Threads of modern pedicle screws can vary greatly in design. It is difficult to assess which interplay of design features is particularly advantageous for screw anchorage. This study aims to increase the under...

    Restricted cement augmentation in unstable geriatric midthoracic fractures treated by long-segmental posterior stabilization leads to a comparable construct stability

    The goal of this study is to compare the construct stability of long segmental dorsal stabilization in unstable midthoracic osteoporotic fractures with complete pedicle screw cement augmentation (ComPSCA) vers...

    Suture button versus syndesmotic screw in ankle fractures - evaluation with 3D imaging-based measurements

    Inadequate reduction of syndesmotic injuries can result in disabling clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to compare syndesmosis congruity after fixation by syndesmotic screws (SYS) or a suture button s...

    A standardized approach for exact CT-based three-dimensional position analysis in the distal tibiofibular joint

    Assessment of tibiofibular reduction presents an intra- and postoperative challenge. Numerous two-dimensional measurement methods have been described, most of them highly dependent on leg orientation and rater...
