Novel hook plate for radial semilunar lip facet fragment fixation: a finite element analysis.

Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius require anatomical reduction and stable fixation. When the fracture encompasses the articular facet of the bone, maintaining the reduction is challenging due to the fragment's size and high instability. While specific implants have been developed to fix this fragment, their effectives have been limited.

Effects of Cannabidiol on Bone Quality in Ovariectomized Rats.

The incidence of osteoporosis and related fractures increases significantly with age, impacting public health and associated costs. Postmenopausal osteoporosis results from increased bone resorption due to decreased estrogen levels. The endocannabinoid system, especially cannabidiol (CBD), has shown therapeutic potential in modulating bone formation.

Comparison of Bone Graft Preparations to Treat a Critical Bone Defect on a Rodent Animal Model.

 Although autologous bone grafting is the most widely used treatment for bone defects, the most effective preparation remains unclear. This animal study aimed to compare different autologous bone grafting preparation for the treatment of rat́s calvaria critical bone defect.  122 rats were randomly allocated into three groups: Simulado, Macerated and Chopped.

Cafeteria Diet Can Affect Bone Microarchitecture in Sedentary and Trained Male Rats.

Introduction: Poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle can impair health. Regular physical activity improves the quality of life and is essential for bone health. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the cafeteria diet on bone quality of sedentary and exercised rats.

In vitro mechanical analysis of X-shaped femoroplasty with polymethyl methacrylate boundary a fall on the greater trochanter.

To evaluate with mechanical testing (MT) using synthetic femurs, an X-shaped femoroplasty technique with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), analyzing the results applied to the prophylaxis of proximal femur (PF) fractures caused by low-energy trauma. MT was performed simulating a fall on the greater trochanter, using fifteen Sawbones™ models. They were divided into three experimental groups (n = 5): control (DP) group, drilled without augmentation (DWA) group, and X-shaped augmentation (DX) group.
