Article Synopsis
- The study presents the creation of conductive and flexible carbon aerogels using melamine-resorcinol-formaldehyde mixtures with diatomite and carbon black.
- The aerogels maintain their porous structure even after removing the siliceous additive, indicating robust cross-linking among the components.
- The inclusion of diatomite reduces pore volume but increases the average pore size, enhancing the flexibility of the aerogels and making them suitable for use as binderless monolithic electrodes.
Purpose: To analyse the capability of cortical and cortical-cancellous suspension devices to provide a strong fixation in order to follow an aggressive early mobilization protocol.
Methods: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction was performed in vitro on 40 porcine femurs employing a high-strength braided cord as a graft. Four femoral suspension devices were analysed: the cortical suspension devices Endobutton and XO Button and the cortical-cancellous suspension devices Biosteon Cross-pin and Cross-pin ACL.
