With the accelerated aging of the population, orthopedic injuries have become more collective. Among them, the incidence of ankle fractures remains high. Surgery is an effective way to treat ankle fractures by utilizing special surgical site, complex anatomical structure, and specific surgical methods.

From in situ microscopy experiments, localized oxidation was observed to initiate in the film then propagate in an unsteady fashion, alternatingly arresting and progressing. The oxidation front propagation occurred via new oxidation sites initiating 10s of nm ahead of the existing front rather than through a continuous expansion mechanism.
