Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Comminute

(16) Errors in surgical judgment were attributed to inadequate preoperative analysis of the pattern of the fracture; undetected intraoperative comminution during reaming or insertion of the nail, or both; or postoperative failure to recognize an increase in comminution and instability of the fracture.
(17) Special attention must be paid to the Sarmiento type-II fracture with severe comminution of the dorsal cortex, severe radial shortening (greater than 10 mm) and dorsal tilt (greater than 25 degrees).
(18) Its treatment concurrent with the treatment of a severely comminuted fracture of the mandible has been reported.
(19) Preservation of the radial head with anatomic reduction and rigid internal fixation is preferred, but radial head replacement may be necessary in cases with extensive comminution.

Triturated
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Triturate
Example Sentences:
(1) Minced and triturated fragments from the spinal cord of normal rat fetuses (15-18 days gestation) labeled with the fluorescent dye fast blue (FB) were successfully transplanted into juvenile myelin-deficient rat spinal cord under direct observation.
(2) Mercury vapor levels associated with grinding amalgam models and mulling amalgams in the palm of the hand following trituration have been measured in a dental laboratory in inhalation position.
(3) In the triturating area the verticality of the interalveolar axis is necessary for the stability of the cusp-fossa relationship in centric occlusion and for the stability of the prothesis during mastication.
(4) Hippocampal astrocytes were acutely isolated by papain treatment and mechanical trituration.
(5) For freezing, brain tissues were dissociated by gentle trituration (without enzymes) in the above medium supplemented with 5-10% dimethylsulfoxide.
(6) Various samples of 1 monohydrate and its commercially available preparations, which are triturates with sodium chloride, differing in the crystal size distribution, showed nearly identical mass spectra on two different magnetic mass spectrometers, provided that the materials were introduced as solids under careful control of the evaporation temperature.
(7) Purkinje myocytes were isolated from canine Purkinje strands by collagenase exposure and gentle trituration.
(8) A comparison of the three methods used to identify the isolates led us to the conclusion that, in large-scale epidemiological studies, the simplest way to identify isolates in ticks is to first use the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis directly on triturated ticks as a screening method to detect interesting rickettsiae, and then attempt to isolate rickettsiae from ticks for identification by microimmunofluorescence and SDS-PAGE, both of which are time-consuming and expensive to carry out.
(9) All alloys tested required polishing several hours after trituration.
(10) All these animals showed no symptoms of infection: isolation of the parasite was made by the inoculation of laboratory hamsters with saline suspensions of triturated liver and spleen.
(11) Trituration produced dramatically sharper and generally lower melting temperatures.
(12) Nerve cells were dissociated from DRG (or TRG) by digestion with collagenase and by trituration and were grown on collagen-coated plastic dishes for more than 14 days.
