In the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the master's student Alaa Abbas Najm defended her thesis entitled "Twisted Transosseous Wire Fixation of Ilizarov Apparatus". The examination committee was chaired by Professor Dr. Mohammed Shahab Ahmed, Dean of the College of Canadian Medicine, with membership of Assistant Professor Dr. Fahd Mahn Kadhim from the University of the Euphrates - College of Engineering - Department of Prosthetics and Industrial Supports, and Dr. Hassanein Ali Lefta from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the College of Engineering, University of the Euphrates. The thesis was supervised by Assistant Professor Dr. Sadiq Jaafar Abbas from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of the Euphrates, and co-supervised by Assistant Professor Dr. Ahmed Sabih Abdul Ali from the College of Medicine at the University of the Euphrates. Scientifically, the thesis was evaluated by the first scientific reviewer, Professor Dr. Kazem Kamel Rasen from the College of Engineering, Mustansiriya University, and the second scientific reviewer, Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Jaafar Jawad from the College of Medicine, Mustansiriya University. Linguistically, it was reviewed by Dr. Salman Majid Salman from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of the Euphrates. The thesis addressed the use of new designs of wires used in the Ilizarov apparatus, which is a type of external fixation device used to treat patients who have suffered injuries due to accidents, bone fractures, or non-union of bones. Surgeons use the bone fixation device on the long bones of the patient, and the configuration of the fixation device depends on the patient's injury, where the proposed and manufactured wires are parallel, on the same level, and the same loop, and were compared with the standard wires currently used. The thesis was accepted as meeting the requirements for the master's degree.
