This study used a prospective design to compare standard therapy (closed or open reduction with 4 weeks of maxillomandibular fixation) to rigid internal fixation (RIF) for the treatment of mandibular ...
STUDY DESIGN: Biomechanical evaluation of sacropelvic fixation strategies as they apply to neuromuscular scoliosis. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective was to compare the rigidity of 2 methods of sacrop...
The use of rigid internal fixation implants in the repair of midfacial fractures requires more extensive bone exposure, soft-tissue manipulation, and operative time. We wished to determine the relativ...
BACKGROUND: During the early postoperative period, the fixation of a hamstring graft to the bone tunnel is the primary factor in limiting rehabilitation. HYPOTHESIS: The initial fixation strength of a...
Detached roots and nodules of the N(2)-fixing species, Albus glutinosa (European black alder), actively assimilate CO(2). The maximum rates of dark CO(2) fixation observed for detached nodules and roo...
