Bilateral Iliosacral and Transsacral Screws Are Biomechanically Favorable and Reduce the Risk for Fracture Progression in Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis—A Finite Element Analysi... by Moritz F. Lodde, Matthias Klimek, Elmar Herbst, Christian Peez, Oliver Riesenbeck, Michael J. Raschke, Steffen Roßlenbroich

“…We hypothesize that the use of bilateral SI screws (BSIs) or a transsacral screw (TSI) is superior compared to a unilateral screw (USI) because of a significant reduction in the risk of adjacent fractures and a reduction in fracture progression. (2) Methods: A finite element model of a female pelvic ring was constructed. The ligaments were simulated as tension springs. …”

Measuring a family sense of coherence: a rasch-based study extending dyadic data analyses by Marie-Louise Möllerberg, Kristofer Årestedt, Peter Hagell, Jeanette Melin

“…Conclusions Our approach to handling dyadic data has shown both strengths and limitations in the evaluation of FSOC-S12, and the understanding of FSOC as a construct from the family’s view of the family’s ability as a whole (dyadic-informant perspective) and patient’s and family member’s separate views of the family’s ability as a whole (single-informant perspective).…”
