Galuppo Previous Next Research Categories Laboratory comparison of headless tapered and standard bone screws for fixation of a simulated third carpal bone fracture in horses (00-09) Larry D. Galuppo, Aloisio C.D. Bueno Description of the Problem: Study Objectives: Overall: Specifically: Experimental Approach: Researchers created standardized simulated third carpal slab fractures in eight pairs of equine cadaveric forelimbs that were free of any knee joint abnormalities. Researchers randomly assigned the created fracture in the left or right limb of each pair to the standard screw group (AO), and then assigned the opposite limb to the new headless screw group (AT). Fractures were repaired and researchers measured and recorded insertion variables for drilling, tapping and screw insertion for each screw type. Repaired C3 slab fractures were radiographed before and after they were shear tested in a mechanical testing machine. Researchers recorded all mechanical variables including how the screw fixations failed. All data were statistically analyzed. Accomplishments/Results: Determined that the total procedure time (seconds) was significantly greater for AT (506) than for the AO (231) screws.

Diagnosis of Symptomatic Lesion. Clinical Features •pain-the most common symptom ,but not always present •swelling-rare presentation •tenderness Biochemical parameters •alkaline phosphatase •urinary hydroxiproline •urinary hydroxiproline/creatinine ratio The biochemical parameters currently avaiable lack specificity and are of little value in diagnosis metastases. Radiographs Skeletal metastases are usually multiple,but isolated lesions do occur. The lesions may be lytic, sclerotic, or mixed. •sclerotic-prostatic carcinoma, mammary, gastrointestinal, and blader cancer. •lytic-occur in every type of primary tumor. •mixed-most occur from mammary carcinoma There are 3 types of lytic lesions: •geografic-large, solitary, well defined (>1cm). •Moth eaten- multiple smaller lytic areas (range, 2-5mm), that may coalesce to form larger areas. •Permeative- multiple tiny lytic areas (usually < 1mm) seem principally in cortical bone Patologic facture is a major complication of skeletal metastases.Usually occur with lytic lesions,and the risk of this complication occuring is related to the amount of cortical bone destruction.

Products Physicians Patients Company ... Resources Technology CSTi TM Bibliography Design Rationale Products Search Advanced Search Sitemap Login Username Password CSTi TM - Cancellous - Structured Titanium Introduced in 1984, our proprietary CSTi porous coating revolutionized orthopedic surgery and remains the industry standard. Structurally similar to human cancellous bone, CSTi provides a scaffold for tissue fixation, which may contribute to the implant's longevity. The design innovations of Centerpulse Orthopedics’ implant systems are perfectly matched with this porous coating technology. A proprietary Centerpulse Orthopedics sintering process "locks" CSTi porous coating to a cobalt-chrome substrate. SinterLock CSTi successfully combines the wear properties of cobalt-chrome with the biocompatibility of titanium. Compared to other conventional porous coatings, SinterLock CSTi demonstrates excellent shear/tensile static strength and cyclic fatigue properties. This combination may help contribute to the longevity of orthopedic implants potentially reducing both cost to the health care system and additional trauma to the patient in the form of revision surgery. We offer CSTi porous coating options with several of our product lines, including: Natural-Knee, Natural-Hip, APR Hip and Inter-Op Acetabular components. We've also pioneered the combination of Hydroxyapatite over CSTi to create a favorable environment for biologic fixation.

Products Physicians Patients Company ... Lifetime of the implant Patient Search Advanced Search Sitemap Login Username Password Issues in Knee Replacement - Bone Preservation Centerpulse Orthopedics’ knee systems are designed around the philosophy to “put back as much as you take out.” The Natural-Knee system calls for preparing the patient’s shin bone (tibia) with a posterior slope instead of a straight perpendicular cut. If you look at the natural tibia , this replicates its natural anatomy. It provides a stronger foundation for the tibial tray, improving load carrying capacity by up to 40%! Why? Because of the Trabecular Effect Trabeculae are small bundles of fibers that make up the framework of organs, including the spongy interior cancellous bone. Consider the analogy of balancing something on sticks: the sticks must be at a 90° angle to provide full support: Cutting on a posterior slope provides a 90° angle for full support. A perpendicular cut, on the other hand, puts the tibial tray at an awkward angle to the trabaculae, weakening the support structure. The Apollo Knee has a wide surface area for the metal femoral component to move against the polyethylene . This is based on the principal that the larger the surface area there is to disperse weight, the less stress there will be. Stress on the

Support Groups Publications Annual Report 2002 (pdf format) Types of Cancers Soft tissue sarcomas (cancers) occur anywhere in the body, but the majority arise from the large muscles of the extremities, the chest wall, the mediastinum and the retroperitoneum. They constitute about 1% of all cancers. Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcomas of childhood with about 15% located in the extremities. Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children. Ewing's Sarcomas are the most lethal of bone tumors, occurring almost exclusively in the first two decades of life. The most common presentation is an enlarging deep-seated mass. Biopsy Techniques Several biopsy techniques are available including fine-needle aspiration, core-needle biopsy, incisional biopsy, and excisional biopsy. The choice of biopsy is dictated by the size and location of the mass, and is decided upon after consultation with the pathologist. Once the diagnosis is established, the extent of the primary tumor must be assessed and a search conducted for spread of disease. In addition to careful physical examination, X-rays of the chest, CT-scans, bone scans and MRI scans may be necessary.

CLICK HERE!! What is a Knee Joint? The bones of the knee, the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia), meet to form a hinge joint, which is protected in front by the kneecap (patella). The joint is cushioned by articular cartilage, which covers the ends of the thigh bone and shin bone, as well as the underside of the kneecap. The cartilage cushions the joint, acting as shock absorbers between the bones. Ligaments help stabilize the knee. The collateral ligaments run along the sides of the knee to limit sideways motion. The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, connects the thigh bone to the shin bone at the center of the knee, to limit rotation and forward motion of the knee joint. The posterior cruciate ligament, or PCL, limits backward motion. These components of your knee, and the muscles of your leg, work together to manage the everyday stress placed on your knees, as you walk, run, or jump. What is Knee Resurfacing John Repicci, D.D.S., M.D., of Buffalo, New York, has developed an innovative alternative to total knee replacement for the treatment of osteoarthritis, called the Repicci II. This technique is used to rebuild the cushion cartilage on the diseased side of your knee instead of replacing the entire joint with a total knee replacement.

After you have received your anesthesia, an incision is made on the front side of your knee, which is usually about ten inches long. After clearing away any damaged bone, the bone surfaces are shaped to hold the implant, then the three parts of the prosthesis are put in place and are tested for proper alignment. Once the prosthesis is fitted, the parts are secured to your thigh bone, shin bone, and kneecap, and then they are joined together to form your new joint. The implants work together as a new cushion for the joint, enabling a quicker return to normal activity.

Products Physicians Patients Company ... Revision Surgery Patient Search Advanced Search Sitemap Login Username Password Issues in Hip Replacement - Bone Loss (Osteolysis) In addition to inadequate stress loading, bone can also be lost through a process known as osteolysis. Here’s what happens: As the hip stem’s hard metal head rubs against the softer polyethylene cup in the hip socket, the friction can degrade the polyethylene over time, causing small wear particles to break off in the body. The body’s immune system rejects this foreign debris, attacking it much like it would attack an infection. Unfortunately, since the polyethylene debris typically settles around the site of the implant, the immune system may start attacking the surrounding bone tissue. This is known as osteolysis – literally, "eating away" of the bone. As the patient loses bone tissue in his or her hip, the implant may become loose and no longer function properly. Many orthopedic surgeons identify osteolysis as the number one cause of hip implant failure. Centerpulse Orthopedics implants have several design features that specifically address the issue of osteolysis: Build-up in the upper (proximal) area of the hip stem to effectively fill the bone and reduce potential tracks for debris.
