Purpose: This study compares the effectiveness of three fractionation schemes of equal fraction size, comprising five fractions of SBRT over 5 days, 10 days, or 15 days, respectively.
Method: This comparative study is based on two tumor-control-probability (TCP) models that take into account tumor cell re-sensitization and repopulation during treatment; the Zaider-Minerbo-Stavreva (ZMS) and the Ruggieri-Nahum (RN) models. The ZMS model is further modified to include also re-sensitization according to the β mechanism of the linear-quadratic (LQ) model of cell killing.
Aim: THE PURPOSE of the present study was to present the most common treatment failures and complications associated with total hip replacement.
Material And Methods: Between 1986 and 2002, 486 total hip replacements (THR) in 403 patients were performed at the Clinics of Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery (St. George University Hospital, Plovdiv).
