Background: There has been an increasing interest in elbow hemiarthroplasty to circumvent the problems with total elbow arthroplasty for comminuted distal humerus fractures in the elderly. The primary aim of the study is to assess the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing TEA and hemiarthroplasty for distal humerus fractures.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of data for patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for distal humerus fractures (OTA- C3 Comminuted total articular fractures) was done.
Most previously reported susceptors for microwave welding are in powder form. In this study, a thin-film susceptor was employed due to its uniform heating rate and ease of handling. Silicon carbide nanowhisker (SiCNW) were incorporated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix to create a nanocomposite thin film, which served as the susceptor.

Medical records were collected from five European countries (2014 and 2015). Patients were grouped by number of high-risk factors: stage IV diagnosis, no known , interval debulking surgery or no surgery, or visible residual disease.

- Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) poses significant risks for anesthesiologists during surgical procedures due to potential complications.
- A 55-year-old male with colon cancer and LGMD underwent surgery involving a low anterior resection colectomy under general anesthesia, highlighting the need for careful management.
- The case emphasizes the importance of understanding the clinical issues related to LGMD and provides insights into anesthetic strategies, particularly considering the patient's challenging airway.
