The purpose of this study was to assess the dynamic in vitro and in vivo characteristics of two different bioabsorbable copolymer soft-tissue fixation devices and to determine their efficacy in reattaching soft tissue to bone. Suretac fixators (Smith

The bulk degradation of synthetic absorbable polyesters is thought to occur from the center of the material outward, and the degradation pattern is therefore attributed largely to the chemical composition of the material. It is hypothesized that this

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of fabricating a drug delivery system that serves a dual function, to eradicate infection as well as to provide a scaffold for osseous integration. Two porous composite systems were fabrica

We evaluated the effects of a serum protein coating on prosthetic infection in 29 adult male rabbits divided into three groups: control, albumin-coated and uncoated. We used 34 grit-blasted, commercially pure titanium implants. Eleven were coated wit

Tendon adhesion is acknowledged to be a function of both an overwhelming inflammatory response at the surgical site and the loss of physical separation that is normally present between the tendons and the synovial sheath. Adhesions bind the flexor te

Dogs, goats, and sheep are the most commonly used animals in studies of total hip replacement (THR) arthroplasty. However, the development of a small, laboratory animal model could have significant economic and housing advantages over these models wh

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) results from avascular necrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis in growing children. This disease often yields a significant deformity of the proximal femur, which may result in osteoarthritis. Its cause is unknown

The purpose of this study was to compare the healing properties of femoral osteotomies fixed by bioabsorbable screws (20:80 polyglycolic copolylactic acid copolymer) to standard stainless steel screws of a similar design in a dog femoral model. Two o

The transcortical “plug” model has been used by numerous investigators for the evaluation of the response of bone to implanted biomaterials. It is generally assumed that this model represents a loaded or functional situation and thus is suitable

Numerous animal species, including the goat, have been evaluated as potential models for human Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD). These models disrupt the vasculature of the femoral head, causing it to collapse, and therefore do not mimic all the cli
