orthopedics

Examples of orthopedics in the following topics:

• Clinical Advances in Bone Repair

  • Since 2005, a number of orthopedic device manufacturers have introduced products that feature porous metal construction for use in osseointegration.
  • For orthopedic uses, metals such as tantalum or titanium are often used because these metals exhibit high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, along with excellent biocompatibility.

• Arthroplasty

  • Arthroplasty (literally "surgical repair of joint") is an operative procedure of orthopedic surgery performed, in which the arthritic or dysfunctional joint surface is replaced with something better or by remodeling or realigning the joint by osteotomy or some other procedure .

• Torn Cartilage and Arthroscopy

  • Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming of damaged cartilage.

• Hip Fracture

  • Most hip fractures are treated by orthopedic surgery, which involves implanting an orthosis.

• Biofilms and Disease

  • They produce dental plaque and colonize catheters, prostheses, transcutaneous and orthopedic devices, contact lenses, and internal devices such as pacemakers.

• Orthodontics

  • This therapy, termed Dentofacial Orthopedics, is frequently followed by fixed multibracket therapy ("full braces") to align the teeth and refine occlusion.

• Defining Microbes

  • They produce dental plaque; colonize catheters, prostheses, transcutaneous, and orthopedic devices; and infect contact lenses, open wounds, and burned tissue.

• Metatarsal Fracture

  • The fracture was first described by British orthopedic surgeon Sir Robert Jones in the Annals of Surgery in 1902.

• Departmentalization Cons

  • ., orthopedic surgery) forms of departmentalization.

• Flatfoot and Clawfoot

  • Pes cavus may be hereditary or acquired, and the underlying cause may be neurological, orthopedic, or neuromuscular.
