[Comparison between external fixator and DVR system for the treatment of AO type C distal radial fractures].

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of external fixator versus DVR system for the treatment of AO type C distal radius fractures.

Methods: The clinical data of 52 patients with type C distal radial fractures treated with external fixator or DVR system respectively from January 2009 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. In DVR system group, 31 patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with DVR system, involved 11 males and 20 females, with an average age of(47.

Adhesion of osteoblast-like cell on silicon-doped TiO2 film prepared by cathodic arc deposition.

Silicon-doped TiO2 (Si-TiO2) and pure TiO2 films were deposited on titanium substrates by cathodic arc deposition technique. The surface characteristics of the films, such as surface topography, elemental composition and wettability, were studied. About 4.
