Article Synopsis
- Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a key cytokine mainly produced by immune cells, known for its strong pro-inflammatory effects and involvement in various diseases.
- Within bone tissue, TNF-α impacts conditions like osteoporosis, fracture healing, and rheumatoid arthritis by balancing bone-building (osteoblasts) and bone-resorbing (osteoclasts) cells, and influencing inflammation and blood vessel growth.
- The review details TNF-α's role in bone-related issues, including how its effects depend on the signaling pathways, receptor types, and levels of exposure.
Objective: To digitally measure the fixation trajectory of anatomical plates used in the combined reduction of quadrilateral acetabular fractures via the posterior approach, and to develop anatomical plates that align with the characteristics of the pelvis in the Chinese population.
Methods: Pelvic computed tomography (CT) data from 102 adult patients were collected at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. This group included 51 males and 51 females, aged between 20 and 60 years.

Article Synopsis
- Infected bone defects (IBDs) create major challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to their economic and psychological impact, necessitating the development of better treatment options.
- Tantalum (Ta) is a promising material for orthopedic implants because of its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, but it needs functionalization to enhance antibacterial properties for IBD management.
- The review discusses recent advancements in modifying Ta scaffolds for improved antibacterial functionality, highlighting various methods used to enhance their effectiveness in treating IBDs.
