Monitoring healing progression and characterising the mechanical environment in a preclinical bone defect model

(2016) Monitoring healing progression and characterising the mechanical environment in a preclinical bone defect model. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

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.

Search Google Scholar™

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.
