There is an individual tolerance to mechanical loading in compression induced deep tissue injury.

Background: Deep tissue injury is a type of pressure ulcer which originates subcutaneously due to sustained mechanical loading. The relationship between mechanical compression and damage development has been extensively studied in 2D. However, recent studies have suggested that damage develops beyond the site of indentation.

MRI based 3D finite element modelling to investigate deep tissue injury.

Pressure ulcers occur due to sustained mechanical loading. Deep tissue injury is a severe type of pressure ulcer, which is believed to originate in subcutaneous tissues adjacent to bony prominences. In previous experimental-numerical studies the relationship between internal tissue state and damage development was investigated using a 2D analysis.

An advanced magnetic resonance imaging perspective on the etiology of deep tissue injury.

Early diagnosis of deep tissue injury remains problematic due to the complicated and multifactorial nature of damage induction and the many processes involved in damage development and recovery. In this paper, we present a comprehensive assessment of deep tissue injury development and remodeling in a rat model by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathology. The tibialis anterior muscle of rats was subjected to mechanical deformation for 2 h.

A MRI-Compatible Combined Mechanical Loading and MR Elastography Setup to Study Deformation-Induced Skeletal Muscle Damage in Rats.

Deformation of skeletal muscle in the proximity of bony structures may lead to deep tissue injury category of pressure ulcers. Changes in mechanical properties have been proposed as a risk factor in the development of deep tissue injury and may be useful as a diagnostic tool for early detection. MRE allows for the estimation of mechanical properties of soft tissue through analysis of shear wave data.

Current techniques for management of transverse displaced olecranon fractures.

Background: displaced transverse fractures of the olecranon are the most common fractures occurring in the elbow in adults that requires operative intervention.

Methods: a literature search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct/Scopus, Google Scholar and Google using the keywords 'olecranon', 'fracture', 'internal fixation' and 'tension band wiring', with no limit for time or restrictions to language.

Results: thirty-one clinical articles were selected: 20 retrospective studies, 9 prospective cohort studies, and 2 randomized control trials.
