Kinematic and kinetic analysis of canine pelvic limb amputees at a trot
Osteosarcoma is the most common form of bone tumors in dogs. Treatment options include palliative or curative-intent options. Of the curative-intent treatments, the most common is amputation, due to lower cost and the ... -
Investigating the osteogenic potential of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells through the use of DNA microarray technology and biomaterial nanotopography
To view the abstract, please see the full text of the document. -
In vivo efficacy of antibiotic-eluting phospholipid coated implants
Implant-associated infection can be a serious problem for patients that receive orthopedic implants, such as hip and knee replacements. This is a common cause for early implant loosening, which requires revision surgeries ... -
Design and fabrication of a flow chamber for the study of cell adhesion and hemocompatibilty in dynamic conditions
Cell adhesion is a well characterized condition of both biomaterial and tissue engineering research. It plays a role in biocompatibility and the proliferation, differentiation and viability of seeded cells. With respect ... -
Antibacterial effects of sputter deposited silver-doped hydroxyapatite thin films
Over recent years, researchers have studied innovative ways to increase the lifespan of orthopedic implants in order to meet the soaring demand of hip and knee replacements. Since many of these implants fail as a result ... -
Kinematic and kinetic analysis of canine thoracic limb amputees at a trot
Most dogs appear to adapt well to the removal of a thoracic limb, but clinically there is a particular subset of dogs that still have problems with gait that seem to be unrelated to age, weight, or breed. The purpose of ... -
Drug eluting, osseointegrative phospholipid coating for orthopedic implants, A
Millions of implant surgeries are performed each year. Titanium is commonly used for implantable metallic devices, especially total hip and knee replacements. However, titanium implants are far from perfect. Although the ...
