ObjectiveTo describe a suture‐free technique for canine ureteral resection‐anastomosis using a microvascular anastomotic system (MAS) and to compare surgical time and burst pressure of hand‐sewn (HS) ureteral end‐to‐end anastomosis with the MAS technique.
Study DesignExperimental ex vivo study.
AnimalsCanine cadavers (n = 8).
MethodsFor each cadaver, 1 ureter was randomly assigned to undergo HS...
ObjectiveEvaluate effect of adding drop wires to single‐ring constructs.
Study DesignBiomechanical study
Sample PopulationSingle ring circular external skeletal fixator constructs stabilizing a Delrin segment bone model.
MethodsEight replicates of 5 constructs made with 66 mm complete rings, 1.6 mm olive wires, and a 15.9‐mm diameter Delrin rod were loaded in axial compression, craniocaudal and...
