Recent project reports from ARI:
Locked lateral plating vs. tension band wiring in patella fractures
Investigating the biomechanical performance of the two methods used for fixation of simple and complex patella fractures.
Dynamic screw-suture stabilization system
Evaluating its performance in comparison to a suture-button stabilization of unstable syndesmotic injuries.
Helical plating
Provides well-balanced load sharing in laterally plated femoral defect fractures.
Pancarpal arthrodesis in canine
Although oval radiocarpal holes provide more options, they increase predicted failure risk.
Statistical analysis of humeral fractures
Allows identification of zones with highest fracture probability.
