Computational modelling of the graft-tunnel interaction in single-bundle ACL reconstructed knee
CONCLUSIONS: Different regions of the femoral tunnel aperture, particularly the anterior region, were under significantly more contact force from the graft than other areas of the aperture during the anterior translation test, potentially leading to femoral tunnel enlargement to the anterior side of the aperture.PMID:37462669 | DOI:10.1515/bmt-2022-0136 (Source: Biomedizinische Technik/Biomedical Engineering)

Biomechanical testing of osteosynthetic locking plates for proximal humeral shaft fractures  - a systematic literature review
Biomed Tech (Berl). 2023 Jul 7. doi: 10.1515/bmt-2023-0039. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProximal humeral shaft fractures can be treated with helically deformed bone plates to reduce the risk of iatrogenic nerve lesion. Controversially to this common surgical technique that was first established in 1999, no biomechanical investigation on humeral helical plating is recorded by other reviews, which focus on proximal fractures exclusively. Does an additional scope for shaft fractures reveal findings of helical testing? The present systematic literature review was performed based on guidelines by Kitchenham et al. to systemat...
