Lateral and Posterior Dynamic Bending of the Mid-Shaft Femur: Fracture Risk Curves for the Adult Population
… risk functions for dynamic bending of the human femur in the lateral-to-medial and posterior-to-anterior loading directions. A total of 45 experiments were performed on human cadaver femurs using a dynamic three-point drop test setup. All 45 tests resulted in mid-shaft femur fractures with …

A comparison of intrathecal morphine or fentanyl on the duration of postoperative analgesia at Namibian teaching hospitals in Windhoek
… is a cornerstone in the management of femoral fractures. Poorly controlled perioperative pain is associated with detrimental short-term and long-term effects. Addition of intrathecal opioids has been shown to produce a dense block and enhance analgesic effect. The objective of the study was to …

3D Reconstruction of Patient Specific Bone Models for Image Guided Orthopaedic Surgery
Visualisation of patient-specific fractured bone in 3D plays an important role in image guided orthopaedic surgery. Existing research often focuses on intra-operative registration of the patients' anatomy with pre-operatively obtained 3D volumetric data (e.g. CT scans) utilising fiduciary markers. …
