Definition:
(n.) Any coral of the genus Madrepora; formerly, often applied to any stony coral.
Example Sentences:
(1) The madreporic ("caviar") prosthesis is a hinged knee prosthesis that can be inserted without the use of cement.
(2) The reconstruction of the anterior basis of the skull has been simplified as much as possible: it has been performed either with a bone graft removed from the frontal flap inner table, or with a precut madreporic coral graft.
(3) The Madreporic hip arthroplasty has provided encouraging clinical results.
(4) They have selected a particular type of prosthesis with a "madreporic" surface and have studied the potential danger or corrosion in such types of prosthesis as compared with prostheses with a plane surface.
(5) Forty-four Madreporic, cementless, total hip arthroplasties performed on 41 patients were reviewed, with special attention to overall clinical results and radiologic findings.
(6) Twenty two cranio-facial reconstructions were performed utilizing madreporic coral graft, genera porites.
(7) The cranial base was reconstructed with madreporic coral grafts; then a large extra-dural pediculated galea flap was placed onto the anterior base to line the sub-frontal dura.
(8) The authors, after putting forth several biomechanical premises, discuss their experience in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a PCA-type press fit cementless prosthesis with partial Madreporic covering.
(9) Three madreporic prostheses in two patients were examined to evaluate resorption and formation of the surrounding bone tissue.
(10) The results of 58 cementless total hip prostheses (Lord madreporous type) were evaluated 4 to 7 years after implantation.
(11) Short-course indomethacin was felt to deter heterotopic bone formation significantly, while having no deleterious effect on stabilization of the St. Michael's madreporic system.
(12) We do not propose here a critical or a comparative study of the different materials mentioned: Our goal has been to transmit our finding, based on the importance of madrepore: its wide availability; easy use; economical price; biological qualities; consistent result.
(13) The authors conclude that short-term clinical results using Madreporic total hip replacement are satisfactory.
(14) Anterior skull base reconstruction was performed with a madreporic coral graft, which is a simple, fast and reliable technique, permitting a complete skull base closure.
(15) The authors strongly believe that the Madreporic cementless total hip arthroplasty should be used only in centres dealing with a large volume of hip conditions where staff are committed to documenting and reporting the results of surgery regularly.
(16) Seven Madreporic hip arthroplasties were implanted in adult male mongrel dogs.
(17) The aboral skeletal system of the juvenile immediately after metamorphosis is composed of one central, one madreporic, ten radial and interradial plates, in addition to five terminal plates on the arms.
(18) Since 1985, the authors have been using madreporic coral fragments (genera Porites) as a bone graft substitute.
(19) The surgical technique is described precisely including a paralateronasal approach combined with a bifrontocoronal incision, a bilateral ethmoidectomy and reconstruction of the anterior base of the skull by one sheets taken-out from the inner surface of the frontal flap or more recently madreporic coralline grafts; the dura is hermetically sealed and it is lined with a large galea flap.
(20) Firm mechanical anchorage of the Madreporic femoral prosthesis was demonstrated in this study.
