Biomechanical Variability and Usability of a Novel Customizable Fracture Fixation Technique.

A novel in situ customizable osteosynthesis technique, Bonevolent™ AdhFix, demonstrates promising biomechanical properties under the expertise of a single trained operator. This study assesses inter- and intra-surgeon biomechanical variability and usability of the AdhFix osteosynthesis platform. Six surgeons conducted ten osteosyntheses on a synthetic bone fracture model after reviewing an instruction manual and completing one supervised osteosynthesis.

Supramolecular self-assembly of heterobimetallic complexes: a new N,P-based, selective heteroditopic ligand.

Pyrimidine-hydrazone and phosphole architectures have been combined to create a new heteroditopic ligand capable of forming heterobimetallic Zn/Pd, Pb/Pd and Cu/Pd complexes in high yielding stepwise or one pot reactions. The catalytic activity of these complexes in Heck coupling and Miyaura borylation reactions was investigated.
