Biomechanical Effects and Fracture Characteristics in Different Filling and Fixation Methods Applied to Various Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Defect Sizes

In this study, which was carried out jointly by ITU, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics and Strength Laboratory and Istanbul Basaksehir Pine and Sakura City Hospital, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, the cementation and internal fixation methods applied to bone defects of varying sizes after proximal tibial resection were biomechanically compared and the biomechanical method of the ideal fixation method according to the defect size was determined. It is intended to be explained by tests. Cement filling and plate fixation groups were found to have the highest failure load in all defect sizes. Cement+screw combination below 25% defect size reduces the risk of tibial plateau and metaphyseal fractures. It was also determined that fracture complexity was significantly related to defect size and fixation method. The study made a significant contribution to the literature. Because the distal femur and proximal tibia are the most common localizations of locally aggressive bone tumors, it is vital to determine effective treatment methods.

At ITU Mechanical Engineering Faculty More than 40 Graduate Thesis Studies Have Been Completed in 2021

Postgraduate thesis studies were carried out in Heat Fluid Master’s, Solid Object Mechanics Master's, Construction Master's, Machine Dynamics, Vibration and Acoustics Master's, Materials and Manufacturing Master's, Automotive Master's, System Dynamics and Control Master's and Mechanical Engineering Doctorate Programs within the scope of ITU Graduate School Department of Mechanical Engineering. In 2021, 42 postgraduate thesis studies were successfully completed. Congratulations to our successful graduates and academicians.

The second edition of Assist. Prof. Adil YÜCEL's MATLAB book is printout

The author of the book, Assist. Prof. Adil YÜCEL is a faculty member who has been interested in programming since his secondary school years and has proven himself with his studies on this subject. The idea of writing a book, which was born while sharing his experiences with his students, from the first days he started teaching programming related courses, resulted in this book. In this book, Assist. Prof. Adil YÜCEL aims to provide engineering students with a basic programming background beyond explaining the use of the MATLAB programming package. The book has been prepared to provide students the ability to develop algorithms to help them solve the problems they encounter, by giving them numerical analysis knowledge. We believe that this book, which includes examples of mathematics, engineering, and mechanical applications, which are not very common in similar books, will be very useful to students.
