    Notes: Abstract An innovative approach to nondestructive evaluation (NDE) using noncontacting optical sensors has demonstrated. In this effort a single mode optical fiber interferometer (OFI) was used to sense the presence and form of Rayleigh waves traveling along the surface of a steel test bar at a velocity of nearly 3mm/µs. Acousto-optic time-domain data was successfully used to detect the presence and locate the position of a test “flaw” (a machined slot) in the bar, and spectrum analysis was used to estimate its geometry and size. This approach has many potential applications in the ultrasonic evaluation of real flaws in structures with complex geometries. Coupled with the authors' earlier work demonstrating the feasibility of generating acoustic waves in metals using laser light pulses transmitted through the fiber optic probes, this latest achievement points to the development of a fully noncontacting, fiber optic based thermal-acousto-photonic (TAP) NDE system, with potential applications to the reliability testing of many important structures where composition, scale, geometry, or restricted access preclude the use of conventional NDE techniques.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes experiments designed to generate acoustic waves by using a laser pulse, transmitted through fiber optics, to thermally shock the surface of a steel specimen. The purpose of this effort was to explore the noncontacting generation of Rayleigh surface waves appropriate to the interrogation of structures for the detection of subcritical defects, with the ultimate goal of developing an efficient laser-based nondestructive evaluation technique utilizing flexible fiber optics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei Unterschenkeldefekten 〉4 cm ist eine Spongiosaplastik oder Rippenspananlage zur Überbrückung nicht mehr ausreichend, so daß wir in diesen Fällen seit 1988 eine Kallusdistraktion nach Ilisarov mit externer Fixierung durch Implantate der AO/ASIF durchführen. Bis zum 1. B. 1995 wurden 15 Patienten mit Unterschenkeldefektfrakturen mit der Kallusdistraktion behandelt. Die durchschnittliche Defektgröße betrug 7 cm, so daß über 1 m Röhrenknochen erzeugt werden konnte. Es handelte sich um 11 Männer und 4 Frauen im Durchschnittsalter von 21,3 Jahren. Bei den Defekten war 3mal eine Knochenresektion bei Tumoren erfolgt und 12mal eine zweit- oder drittgradig offene Fraktur vorausgegangen, davon 6mal mit begleitender Osteomyelitis. Im Mittel waren 5,3 Operationen zum Aufbau erforderlich. Die Komplikationsrate betrug 53% bei einer Behandlungszeit von durchschnittlich 1 Jahr. Bei allen abgeschlossenen Behandlungen waren die Endergebnisse exzellent und gut. Eine Amputation konnte in allen Fällen vermieden werden. Kontraindikation bei Anwendung dieses Verfahrens ist eine fehlende Mitarbeit des Patienten. Durch die Kallusdistraktion besteht eine realistische Chance des Extremitätenerhalts bei schwerem Weichteil- und Knochenschaden. Durch die komplette körperliche Reintegrationsmöglichkeit bei erhaltener Extremität kann eine hohe Motivation bei den Patienten erreicht werden.
    Notes: Abstract In open tibial fractures with defects over 4 cm, spongiosaplasty is considered to be insufficient. Since 1988 we have tried to apply Ilisarov's ideas of callus distraction in combination with modern external fixation devices and AO/ASIF implants. By August 1995, 15 patients with severe tibial fractures had been treated. The bone defect averaged 7 cm. Thus, more than 1 m of tubular bone was produced. Eleven male and 4 female patients, averaging 21.3 years in age, were given this treatment. The defect was caused by resection of a malignancy in 3 cases and a second- or third-degree open fracture in 12 cases, accompanied by osteomyelitis in 6 cases. Reconstruction required an average of 5.3 operations. The complication rate was 53%, and the median duration of treatment was about 1 year. The final results were excellent or good. Amputation could be avoided in all instances. This treatment is contra indicated if the patient exhibits a lack of compliance. There is a realistic chance of salvaging the limb in cases of severe soft tissue and bone defects. In terms of economical considerations, this treatment is cost effective. Physical integrity and mobility without aid is the important motivation for these patients.
