Twenty pins of each type were inserted under constant drilling pressure into 12 canine tibiae (12 diaphyseal and 8 metaphyseal sites per pin type). Peak pin tip temperature, drilling energy, end‐insertional pin torque, and pullout force were measured for each pin. For the histologic study, five pins of each type were inserted into cortical and cancellous sites in 15 additional tibiae. Entry and exit damage, and thread quality were assessed from 100 micron histologic sections by using computer‐interfaced videomicroscopy.Results—T‐tipped pins reached higher tip temperature in both diaphyseal and metaphyseal bone compared with HG‐tipped pins. RT‐T pins had higher pullout strength (diaphyseal) and end‐insertional torque compared with other combinations. No differences in drilling energy or insertional bone damage was found between the three pin types (P< .05).Conclusions—T‐tipped pins mechanically outperformed HG‐tipped pins. Pin tip and thread design did not significantly influence the degree of insertional bone damage.Clinical Relevance—T‐tipped pins may provide the best compromise between thermal damage and interface friction for maximizing performance of threaded external fixator pins.}, number={4}, journal={VETERINARY SURGERY}, author={Marti, JM and Roe, SC}, year={1999}, pages={279–286} } @article{stamper_norton_spodnick_marti_loomis_1999, title={Hypospadias in a polar bear (Ursus maritimus).}, volume={30}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine}, author={Stamper, M.

Study Design—An acute, in vitro biomechanical evaluation.Sample Population—Thirteen radii from canine cadavers. Methods—A total of 16 T‐tipped and 16 HG‐tipped pins were inserted into 8 canine radii. Ten pins of each modification of the HG tip (length of the cutting edge reduced by 0.127 mm and 0.254 mm, respectively) were inserted into another five radii. All pins were inserted with low‐speed power drilling and 80 N drilling load. Differences between peak tip temperature, drilling energy, and pullout force were determined for each pin type at both diaphyseal and metaphyseal locations. Results—HG‐tipped pins showed a 40% lower tip temperature in diaphyseal bone, a 25% reduction in drilling energy in diaphyseal bone, and a reduction of pullout force in both diaphyseal (65%) and metaphyseal (50%) bone compared with T‐tipped pins. HG 0.254‐mm pins generated higher tip temperatures and had greater pullout than HG pins in diaphyseal bone. Conclusions—The HG tip was a more efficient design; however, the reduction in pullout force suggests that, because a better hole was drilled, radial preload is reduced. Reduction of the cutting edge by 0.254 mm increased the pullout force but also increased the temperatures. Clinical Relevance—Thermal and microstructural damage are reduced by the HG tip, but pin‐bone interface stability is also compromised. The use of a tip with 0.254 mm reduction in the cutting edge may optimize the biological and mechanical factors at the pin‐bone interface.}, number={5}, journal={Veterinary Surgery}, author={Marti, J.

A 10‐yearoid, neutered crossbreed was presented with bilateral, progressive hindlimb lameness. Periarticuiar swelling was noted in both stifle joints. No craniocaudal instability was noted. Radiographs showed massive intra‐articular soft tissue proliferation in both joints, with no bony involvement. Arthrocentesls was unsuccessful. Exploratory arthrotomy of the left stifle revealed a greatly thickened, florid, proliferative synovial membrane. An Incisional biopsy was carried out and the histopathological diagnosis was chronic active viilonodular synovitis. A radical synovectomy was carried out in the right stifle joint 10 days later. Corticosteroid treatment was initiated 10 days after the second surgery and continued for six weeks, with a continuous clinical improvement. Eighteen months after discontinuation of the steroid therapy, the owners reported no recurrence of clinical signs although a mild stiffness was still present.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE}, author={Marti, JM}, year={1997}, month={Jun}, pages={256–260} } @article{marti_wells_1996, title={Jejunal rupture associated with a traumatic partial public symphysial separation in a dog}, volume={9}, number={4}, journal={Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology}, author={Marti, J.
