The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the "cortex sign" (corticalization) in femoral diaphysis fractures determined by the dynamization of nails because of delayed union. The study included 12 patients with a closed transverse femoral fracture (AO 32a3) treated with dynamization (all the screws distal of the nail were removed) because of delayed healing and followed up for at least 2 years. These patients were evaluated for the presence of bone union, cortex-like sclerosis (corticalization) distal to the nail, and the distance of the corticalization from the joint during follow- up after dynamization.

Variations in ambient temperature are especially alarming as the majority of animals are ectothermic, with temperature seen as a crucial determinant of their ecology, biogeography, behaviour, and physiology. Ectotherms, which depend on external ambient temperatures to regulate their body temperature, exhibit various physiological and metabolic responses to variations in temperature.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular hip fracture over a twenty-year period.
Article Synopsis
- Research on natural fibers has increased due to the demand for sustainable materials, focusing on Chamaerops humilis trunk (ChT) as a potential alternative to synthetic fibers.
- The study involves a comprehensive examination of ChT fibers' characteristics using various techniques like density measurement, moisture content analysis, X-ray diffraction, and tensile testing.
- Findings reveal that ChT fibers have favorable properties such as a density of 0.97 g/cm and heat resistance up to 225 °C, making them promising for use in biocomposites and textile applications.
Comparison of Supination-Adduction Type 2 and Supination-External Rotation Type 4 in Bimalleolar Ankle Fractures: Does Partial Pylon Variant of Supination-Adduction Type Fracture Affect Functional Outcomes?

Background: Supination-adduction (SAD) type injuries are pylon variant injuries and lie between partial intra-articular pylon fractures and rotational ankle fractures. We aimed to evaluate functional outcomes of SAD type 2 bimalleolar fractures in comparison to supination-external rotation (SER) type 4 fractures.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of 42 cases with SER type 4 and 20 cases with SAD type 2 injuries.
