Suture button systems for coronoid fracture fixation: a biomechanical time-zero pilot study.

Purpose: This study aims to describe a fixation technique for coronoid fractures using suture buttons, and to biomechanically evaluate this technique in comparison to screw fixation as a time-zero pilot study.

Methods: An O'Driscoll type 2 anteromedial coronoid facet (AMCF) fracture was simulated in 20 fresh-frozen human elbows. The specimens were randomized into two groups and fracture fixation was performed with either a suture button system or a 3.

More Drugs and Fewer Strokes? Time Trends in CVD Medication and Incidence of Stroke With German Health Insurance Data.

Background: Successful prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) may reduce the burden of diseases. Preventive medication is an important measure to decrease the risks of cardiovascular events, in particular myocardial infarction and stroke. The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of CVD preventive medication in Germany over time with respect to sex and age and to compare it with the temporal development of strokes.

Rehabilitation after surgical release of the stiff elbow: A literature review.

Background: Elbow stiffness poses a significant challenge for surgeons as well as physiotherapists during and after surgery. To date, there is no consensus regarding the subsequent rehabilitation after surgical release of the stiff elbow.

Objective: The aim is to evaluate the most important therapeutic strategies following open or arthroscopic release of the stiff elbow based on a comprehensive literature review, and to develop a consensus for or against specific therapeutic methods with the help of a survey among elbow experts of the D-A-CH Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (DVSE).

Anatomy of the aortic segmental arteries-the fundamentals of preventing spinal cord ischemia in aortic aneurysm repair.

Objective: Spinal cord ischemia due to damage or occlusion of the orifices of aortic segmental arteries (ASA) is a serious complication of open and endovascular aortic repair. Our study aims to provide detailed descriptions of the proximal course of the ASAs and metric information on their origins.

Materials And Methods: Initially, 200 randomly selected, embalmed cadavers of human body donors were anatomically dissected and systematically examined.

Anisotropic exchange interaction of two hole-spin qubits.

Semiconductor spin qubits offer the potential to employ industrial transistor technology to produce large-scale quantum computers. Silicon hole spin qubits benefit from fast all-electrical qubit control and sweet spots to counteract charge and nuclear spin noise. However, the demonstration of a two-qubit interaction has remained an open challenge.
