Latour Jr R, Brattain M
Crit Rev Biomed Eng . 2000 Sep; 28(1-2):109-13. PMID: 10999373
A universal static hip joint simulation apparatus was designed to simulate both 3-D joint and 3-D muscle forces for each of the three load-bearing phases of normal gait. The adjustability...

Latour Jr R, Trembley S, Tian Y, Lickfield G, Wheeler A
J Biomed Mater Res . 1999 Nov; 49(1):58-65. PMID: 10559747
Protein adsorption onto the surface of an implanted material is widely recognized as an important factor controlling the biological response. Although numerous studies have been conducted to investigate protein adsorption...

Rinehart J, Taylor T, Tian Y, Latour Jr R
J Biomed Mater Res . 1999 Nov; 48(6):833-40. PMID: 10556848
The objective of this study was to develop an efficient "real time" measurement system able to directly measure, with microgram resolution, the dissolution rate of absorbable glass fibers, and utilize...

An Y, Friedman R, Powers D, Draughn R, Latour Jr R
Clin Orthop Relat Res . 1999 Jan; (355):300-11. PMID: 9917616
The purpose of this study was to compare the healing properties of femoral osteotomies fixed by bioabsorbable screws (20:80 polyglycolic copolylactic acid copolymer) to standard stainless steel screws of a...

Zhang G, Latour Jr R, Kennedy J, Del Schutte Jr H, Friedman R
Biomaterials . 1996 Apr; 17(8):781-9. PMID: 8730962
In total hip arthroplasty, concerns such as corrosion and stress shielding associated with stiff metallic femoral components have led to the development of low stiffness advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite...

Latour Jr R
Clin Podiatr Med Surg . 1995 Jul; 12(3):519-44. PMID: 7553538
Important advances have been made in the development of biomaterials science and engineering for foot surgery over the past four decades. In this paper, implant materials have been separated into...

Rowland S, Shalaby S, Latour Jr R, von Recum A
J Appl Biomater . 1995 Jan; 6(1):1-7. PMID: 7703533
Surgical implants need to be free from contaminants before implantation. The effectiveness of a presently used Clemson bioengineering cleaning (CBC) protocol was evaluated for cleaning three different biomaterials (titanium, aluminum...

Meyer M, Friedman R, Del Schutte Jr H, Latour Jr R
J Biomed Mater Res . 1994 Oct; 28(10):1221-31. PMID: 7829551
Fiber/matrix interfacial bond strength significantly influences the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Interfacial bond strength durability is therefore particularly important in the development of FRP composites for implant...

Latour Jr R, Black J
J Biomed Mater Res . 1993 Oct; 27(10):1281-91. PMID: 8245042
Fiber/matrix interfacial bonding in fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials is potentially sensitive to degradation in aqueous environments. Ultimate bond strength (UBS) in carbon fiber/polysulfone (CF/PSF) and polyaramid/polysulfone (K49/PSF) was...
