A biomechanical comparison of composite femurs and cadaver femurs used in experiments on operated hip fractures

Fourth generation composite femurs (4GCFs, models #3406 and #3403) simulate femurs of males <80 years with good bone quality. Since most hip fractures occur in old women with fragile bones, concern is raised regarding the use of standard 4GCFs in biomechanical experiments. In this study the stability of hip fracture fixations in 4GCFs was compared to human cadaver femurs (HCFs) selected to represent patients with hip fractures.Ten 4GCFs (Sawbones, Pacific Research Laboratories, Inc., Vashon, WA, USA) were compared to 24 HCFs from seven females and five males >60 years. Proximal femur anthropometric measurements were noted. Strain gauge rosettes were attached and femurs were mounted in a hip simulator applying a combined subject-specific axial load and torque. Baseline measurements of resistance to deformation were recorded. Standardized femoral neck fractures were surgically stabilized before the constructs were subjected to 20,000 load-cycles. An optical motion tracking system measured relative movements.Median (95% CI) head fragment migration was 0.8 mm (0.4 to 1.1) in the 4GCF group versus 2.2 mm (1.5 to 4.6) in the cadaver group (p=0.001). This difference in fracture stability could not be explained by observed differences in femoral anthropometry or potential overloading of 4GCFs. 4GCFs failed with fracture-patterns different from those observed in cadavers.To conclude, standard 4GCFs provide unrealistically stable bone-implant constructs and fail with fractures not observed in cadavers. Until a validated osteopenic or osteoporotic composite femur model is provided, standard 4GCFs should only be used when representing the biomechanical properties of young healthy femurs.     

Statistical shape and appearance models for fast and automated estimation of proximal femur fracture load using 2D finite element models

Estimating the risk of osteoporotic fractures is an important diagnostic step that needs to be taken before medicinal treatment. Densitometry-based criteria are normally used in clinical practice for this purpose. However, densitometry-based techniques could not explain all low-energy fractures. As patient-specific finite element (FE) models allow for consideration of other parameters (e.g. load conditions) that are known to be associated with fracture, they are considered promising candidates for more accurate fracture risk estimation. Nevertheless, they are often time consuming, expensive, and complex to build and may need the type of expertise that is not normally available in clinical settings. In this study, we report the development of an automated platform for estimating proximal femur fracture loads using patient-specific 2D FE models generated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. First, a statistical shape and appearance model (SSAM) is built using DXA scans of patients screened for osteoporosis following a low energy fracture. SSAM is then used together with Active Appearance Models (AAM) for automated segmentation of the proximal femur from new unseen DXA scans. The mean point-to-curve error of the automated procedure, i.e. 1.2–1.4 mm, is shown to be only slightly larger than the intra-observer variability of manual segmentation, i.e. 1.0 mm. Moreover, the developed platform automatically meshes the segmented shape, assigns density-based mechanical properties, assigns loads and boundary conditions, submits the 2D FE model for solution, and performs post-processing of the 2D FE simulation data to determine fracture loads. The fracture loads predicted using the manually generated and automatically generated 2D FE models are shown to be very close with a mean difference of around 8.8%. Repeated measures ANOVA showed no significant differences between the fracture loads calculated using FE models manually generated by three independent observers and those calculated using the automatically generated FE models (p>0.05).     

Five Cyanophora (Cyanophorales,Glaucophyta) species delineated based on morphological and molecular data

Cyanophora is an important glaucophyte genus of unicellular biflagellates that may have retained ancestral features of photosynthetic eukaryotes. The nuclear genome of Cyanophora was recently sequenced, but taxonomic studies of more than two strains are lacking for this genus. Furthermore, no study has used molecular methods to taxonomically delineate Cyanophora species. Here, we delimited the species of Cyanophora using light and electron microscopy, combined with molecular data from several globally distributed strains, including one newly established. Using a light microscope, we identified two distinct morphological groups: one with ovoid to ellipsoidal vegetative cells and another with dorsoventrally flattened or broad, bean‐shaped vegetative cells containing duplicated plastids. Our light and scanning electron microscopy clearly distinguished three species with ovoid to ellipsoidal cells (C. paradoxa Korshikov, C. cuspidata Tos.Takah. & Nozaki sp. nov., and C. kugrensii Tos.Takah. & Nozaki sp. nov.) and two species with broad, bean‐shaped cells (C. biloba Kugrens, B.L.Clay, C.J.Mey. & R.E.Lee and C. sudae Tos.Takah. & Nozaki sp. nov.) based on differences in cell shape and surface ornamentations of the vegetative cells under the field‐emission scanning electron microscope. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of P700 chl a apoprotein A2 (psaB) genes and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), as well as a comparison of secondary structures of nuclear rDNA ITS‐2 and genetic distances of psaB genes, supported the delineation of five morphological species of Cyanophora.     

The Relationship Between Lesion Size and Load to Failure After Stabilization of Simulated Metastatic Lesions of the Proximal Femur

BackgroundAs overall cancer survival continues to improve, the incidence of metastatic lesions to the bone continues to increase. The subsequent skeletal related events that can occur with osseous metastasis can be debilitating. Complete and impending pathologic femur fractures are common with patients often requiring operative fixation. However, the efficacy of an intramedullary nail construct, on providing stability, continue to be debated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to utilize a synthetic femur model to determine 1) how proximal femur defect size and cortical breach impact femur load to failure (strength) and stiffness, and 2) and how the utilization of an IMN, in a prophylactic fashion, subsequently alters the overall strength and stiffness of the proximal femur.MethodsA total of 21 synthetic femur models were divided into four groups: 1) intact (no defect), 2) 2 cm defect, 3) 2.5 cm defect, and 4) 4 cm defect. An IMN was inserted in half of the femur specimens that had a defect present. This procedure was performed using standard antegrade technique. Specimens were mechanically tested in offset torsion. Force-displacement curves were utilized to determine each constructs load to failure and overall torsional stiffness. The ultimate load to failure and construct stiffness of the synthetic femurs with defects were compared to the intact synthetic femur, while the femurs with the placement of the IMN were directly compared to the synthetic femurs with matching defect size.ResultsThe size of the defect invertedly correlated with the load the failure and overall stiffness. There was no difference in load to failure or overall stiffness when comparing intact models with no defect and the 2 cm defect group (p=0.98, p=0.43). The 2.5 cm, and 4.5 cm defect groups demonstrated significant difference in both load to failure and overall stiffness when compared to intact models with results demonstrating 1313 N (95% CI: 874-1752 N; p<0.001) and 104 N/mm (95% CI: 98-110 N/mm; p=0.03) in the 2.5 cm defect models, and 512 N (95% CI: 390-634 N, p<0.001) and 21 N/mm (95% CI: 9-33 N/mm, p<0.001) in the models with a 4 cm defect. Compared to the groups with defects, the placement an IMN increased overall stiffness in the 2.5 cm defect group (125 N/mm; 95% CI:114-136 N/mm; p=0.003), but not load to failure (p=0.91). In the 4 cm defect group, there was a significant increase in load to failure (1067 N; 95% CI: 835-1300 N; p=0.002) and overall stiffness (57 N/mm; 95% CI:46-69 N/mm; p=0.001).ConclusionProphylactic IMN fixation significantly improved failure load and overall stiffness in the group with the largest cortical defects, but still demonstrated a failure loads less than 50% of the intact model. This investigation suggests that a cortical breach causes a loss of strength that is not completely restored by intramedullary fixation. Level of Evidence: II
