Strain on my brain
After fixation of a fracture, a strain environment of 2-10% is most likely to heal via this process.
What is secondary bone healing?
This is the only anabolic anti-osteoporosis drug available for use by clinicians
What is PTH?
Histologically, the immune response of adverse reactions to metal-on-metal bearing surfaces is dominated by these
What are lymphocytes?
Prevalence is best established using this type of study
What is cross sectional?
A total hip bearing contains a material that has high compressive strength and wettability but is brittle is most likely this material.
What is ceramic?
This property describes a graft that contains viable progenitor stem cells that can form new bone matrix and remodel bone
What is osteogenic?
Don't worry. Micromotion between two pieces of metal that are not loose causes this type of corrosion
What is fretting corrosion?
Osteoblast inhibition during bone remodeling is mediated by this signaling molecule
What is sclerostin
In order to determine how many patients to enroll in a study comparing different superior labral anterior to posterior repairs, this type of analysis is most appropriate to do as part of the study design
What is a power analysis?
An increase in blood cell agglutination and rouleaux formation on peripheral blood smear, indicates this lab value is most likely to be elevated.
What is ESR?
Don't forget to "CC" me. This underlying process of primary healing is shaping up fractures for success.
What is cutting cones?
Increasing the diameter of a solid femur nail is most likely to improve bending rigidity by this magnitude
What is radius to the 4th power?
Vitamin D deficiency is diagnosed by a serum value of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D less than this value
What is less than <20 ng/mL?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy. A prospective cohort design eliminates this type of bias.
What is recall?
Oh captain, my captain. His Law states that stress is proportional to strain... up to a limit
Who is Hooke?
Oh snap! This class of medication can cause atypical femur fractures.
What are bisphosphonates?
This molecule in the cartilaginous extracellular matrix is primarily responsible for the high water content of cartilage?
What is aggrecan?
Angie. Annnnngie. This growth factor is associated vascular angiogenesis.
What is VEG-F?
A research article states that medial proximal tibia angle (MPTA) is normally distributed with a mean of 87° and a standard deviation of 2.5°. This numeric range is approximately the 95% confidence interval for MPTA
What is 82 - 92 degrees?
This commonly used metal has a young's modulus of elasticity most compatible to cortical bone. Maybe David Guetta can help you out.
What is titanium?
This common vascularized autograft is supplied by peroneal branches
What is a vascularized fibula autograft?
In cartilage repair, the surgical technique of microfracture often results in the formation of this.
What is fibrocartilage?
You will thank me later if you know that this monocloal antibody disrupts the RANK pathway.
What is denosumab?
An investigator is interested in testing the efficacy of a new drug and develops a randomized controlled trial with very strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. By creating a more homogenous study population, the researcher is decreasing this clinical aspect of the result
What is external validity?
This type of property describes a material where stress and strain relationships vary depending on loading time and rate.
What is viscoelastic?
