Monitoring healing progression and characterising the mechanical environment in a preclinical bone defect model
Description
This thesis contributes new methodologies for monitoring healing and characterising the mechanical environment of large segmental bone defects. Such capability is critical for understanding how successful bone healing progresses under various mechanical environments, and provides a means for detecting deviations from the norm. Whilst the most direct benefits apply to pre-clincal animal work, this thesis provides a foundation for future clinlical application.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
