Article Synopsis
- - Dysprosium-doped phosphate glasses, specifically with varying amounts of Dy ions, were studied to understand how these ions influence the glasses' properties, focusing on aspects like physical, structural, thermal, and optical characteristics.
- - Advanced characterization techniques, including Raman spectroscopy and optical absorption, were employed to reveal new insights into how Dy influences the glass network and properties relative to other lanthanides.
- - The findings indicate that lower concentrations of Dy enhance luminescent properties while reducing emission decay times through cross-relaxation channels, whereas higher concentrations lead to emission quenching due to interactions between Dy ions at short distances.
Secondary femoral fractures after the successful plate-screw fixation of a primary Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) have been associated with the altered state of stress/strain in the femur as the result of plating. The laterally implanted condyle-spanning plate-screw constructs have shown promises clinically in avoiding secondary bone and implant failures as compared with shorter diaphyseal plates. Though the condyle-spanning plating has been hypothesized to avoid stress concentration in the femoral diaphysis through increasing the working length of the plate, biomechanical evidence is lacking on how plate length may impact the stress/strain state of the implanted femur.
