Bioabsorbable ciprofloxacin-containing and plain self-reinforced polylactide-polyglycolide 80/20 screws: pullout strength properties in human cadaver parietal bonesJohanna Tiainen
Department of Surgery, Oulu University Hospital, Finland
J Craniofac Surg 13:427-33. 2002..Nevertheless, it is evident that the ciprofloxacin-containing screws can be applied in craniomaxillofacial surgery in nonload-bearing or slightly load-bearing applications...
Comparison of the pull-out forces of bioabsorbable polylactide/glycolide screws (Biosorb and Lactosorb) and tacks: a study on the stability of fixation in human cadaver parietal bonesJohanna Tiainen
Department of Surgery, Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland
J Craniofac Surg 13:538-43. 2002..Tacks seem to have a similar, perhaps even a little better, holding power to cranial bone as screws and can hence be recommended for clinical application, as the procedure saves time and, consequently, costs...
Self-reinforced polylactide/polyglycolide 80/20 screws take more than 1(1/2) years to resorb in rabbit cranial boneJohanna Tiainen
Department of Surgery, Oulu University Hospital, P O Box 5000, FIN 90014, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland
J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 70:49-55. 2004..No contraindications as regards their clinical use in craniofacial surgery was found when these screws were studied in the cranial bones of rabbits...
Tissue reactions to bioabsorbable ciprofloxacin-releasing polylactide-polyglycolide 80/20 screws in rabbits' cranial boneJohanna Tiainen
Department of Surgery, Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland
J Mater Sci Mater Med 17:1315-22. 2006..quot; Ciprofloxacin-releasing SR-PLGA 80/20 screws elicited a mild inflammatory reaction but did not interfere with osteoblast activity. No complications were seen when implanted in cranial bone of rabbit...
Pull-out strength of multifunctional bioabsorbable ciprofloxacin-releasing polylactide-polyglycolide 80/20 tacks: an experimental study allograft cranial boneJohanna Tiainen
Department of Surgery, Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland
J Craniofac Surg 20:58-61. 2009..The cause of failure in all cases was barb breakage. Ciprofloxacin-releasing SR-PLGA 80/20 tacks seem to have a similar holding power to cranial bone as plain SR-PLGA (80/20) tacks but have additional advantage of ciprofloxacin release...
Holding power of bioabsorbable self-reinforced poly-L/DL-lactide 70/30 tacks and miniscrews in human cadaver boneSanna Leinonen
Department of Surgery, Oulu University Hospital, Finland
J Craniofac Surg 14:171-5. 2003..3 +/- 26.1 N ( = 0.04, statistically significant difference). Accordingly novel SR-P(L/DL)LA 70/30 tacks have a statistically better pullout strength than the SR-P(L/DL)LA 70/30 miniscrews when tested in cadaver MT bones...
Spotlight on naturally absorbable osteofixation devicesNureddin Ashammakhi
Institute of Biomaterials, Tampere University of Technology, Finland
J Craniofac Surg 14:247-59. 2003..Such a multidisciplinary approach that involves surgeons and materials scientists should help to find solutions to the current limitations of these devices...
