  • (20) A test mating between two Manchester Terriers affected by Perthes' disease (PD) resulted in the birth of three affected males and two unaffected females.

Socket


Definition:

  • (n.) An opening into which anything is fitted; any hollow thing or place which receives and holds something else; as, the sockets of the teeth.
  • (n.) Especially, the hollow tube or place in which a candle is fixed in the candlestick.

Example Sentences:

  • (8) In order to evaluate the usefulness of gamma-ray-irradiation to improve the tolerance to wear of the sockets, the worn surface of the 2.5 M rad gamma-ray-irradiated HDP sockets after total hip arthroplasty has been quantified by a newly-developed 3 dimensional (3-D) image analysis method in combination with scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
  • (9) Since the intra-articular volume of a ball-and-socket joint with a deep fossa, such as the hip joint, cannot be readily altered, this swelling is expected to exert a marked imbibitional pressure within the bone of the femoral head.
  • (10) The reduction in the rate of aseptic loosening of the socket in our series, compared with the higher rates reported in similar long-term studies in which other acetabular components were used, supports the conclusion that there is enhanced longevity of acetabular fixation when a metal-backed acetabular component is used in cemented total hip arthroplasty.
