Article Synopsis
- The internal volar locking plate (VLP) technique is increasingly favored for treating distal radial fractures (DRFs), and early therapeutic exercises can enhance wrist function post-surgery.
- The study utilized markerless motion capture and an advanced healing model to analyze how different hand exercises impact fracture healing, revealing that exercise influences bony bridge formation and muscle activation patterns.
- Gripping exercises were most effective in the early weeks, while wrist extension and flexion exercises gained importance over time, emphasizing the need for customized rehabilitation programs that adapt to the healing process.
Maintaining post-operative mechanical stability is crucial for successfully healing intertrochanteric fractures treated with the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) system. This stability is primarily dependent on the bone mineral density (BMD) and strain on the fracture. Current PFNA failure analyses often overlook the uncertainties related to BMD and body weight (BW).

However, the role of rehabilitation exercises induced muscle forces on the biomechanical microenvironment at the fracture site remains to be fully explored. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of muscle forces on DRF healing by developing a depth camera-based fracture healing model.

The study aimed to investigate the effects of flow rate and particle size on the percentage of colliding agglomerates detected within an in-house powder dispersion device.
Method: The device consists of a swirl chamber and two tangential inlets in various configurations, designed to emulate the geometric features of commercial devices such as the Aerolizer® and Osmohaler®.
