Course Objectives • Why are we studying this? • Terminology • Understanding the condition • Management of fractures • Design and application of implants
Stress Strain Curve Strain
Tension band Converts tension forces into compression forces
Which is Strongest? How many twists are needed?
1) Rt side 2) Left side 3) No difference 4) Depends on the lumbar spine status Which hand do you hold the cane? Osteonecrosis Rt hip is painful
Which leg goes first when climbing stairs? Rt knee is painful
好腳上天堂, 壞腳下地獄 Painful knee kept straight.
Think of the Forces 3-point fixation
Where to place the knot? Submandibular position hyperextension distraction “long drop” 83kg – 173 cm 51kg – 244 cm
Fracture Patterns AO classification (Muller)
Classification Based on Mechanism of Injury Allen classification of cervical spine injuries
Plate Fixation 6 wks 3 mo 1 yr
A Load Bearing Construct 1 mo 12 mo
How long a plate? What kind of screw? Lag screw
What angle? Where to put the plate?
How long? • How thick? • Titanium? • Solid? • Cross section? • Fluted? • Tapered? • Bowing? • Reaming? • Interlocking? • Cost!
Stress risers Removal?
Load Sharing and Stress Shielding Re-fracture
Wolff’s Law Bone deposits along lines of stress transmission
External Fixators Rubber band
Hip Screws Gamma nail
Rank the intradiscal pressures • Bending forward at waist • Squatting • Sitting • Standing • Supine
How big can you make the hole? • 1) 75% of lamina • 2) 50% of lamina • 3) 75% of facet • 4) 50% of facet • 5) 25% of facet
Spondylolisthesis Reduction flexion
Anterior Strut Only Fusion Cage椎籠 “子彈”
40% Failure Rate • Biomechanically, an anterior strut requires posterior support. • “Supported on two rollers”
