Sterile 7 mm. polyethylene implants were implanted in standard 6 mm. bilateral midfibular fracture gaps in thirty rats (sixty defects), and six rats were used as controls with identical bilateral midfibular fracture gaps. Clinical, radiologic, and histologic studies at a 12-week interval revealed osteogenesis at internal and external surfaces of implants resulting in bony union; however, gaps without implants resulted in fibrous union and nonunion.

Impact of dementia and mild cognitive impairment on bone health in older people.
Aging Clin Exp Res

MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK.
Mild cognitive impairment, dementia and osteoporosis are common diseases of ageing and, with the increasingly ageing global population, are increasing in prevalence. These conditions are closely associated, with shared risk factors, common underlying biological mechanisms and potential direct causal pathways. In this review, the epidemiological and mechanistic links between mild cognitive impairment, dementia and skeletal health are explored.

Background: With the advances in the adhesive science, several conservative treatment options such as non-retentive overlays have been suggested for endodontically treated posterior teeth. However, information is scarce regarding the fracture strength and adaptation of non-retentive overlays compared with endocrowns, and the effect of material type in this respect. Thus, this study aimed to assess the fracture strength and internal and marginal adaptation of lithium disilicate (LDS) and hybrid ceramic endocrowns and non-retentive overlays for endodontically treated molar teeth.

Background: The Da Vinci robot ® (DVR), released in the early 2000s, provided a set of innovation aiming at pushing minimally invasive surgery forward. Its stereoscopic magnified visualization camera, motions that exceed the natural range of the human hand, or tremor reduction enhanced the surgeon's skills and added value in many surgical fields.
Objective: To map the current use of the DVR in spine surgery, identify gaps, address its limits and future perspectives.
Mechanical stability of the proximal tibia with different bone formations after plate removal in medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy: a finite element analysis.

Arthroscopy and Joint Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: No clear agreement exists on the degree of bone formation required to remove a metal plate without correction loss after medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). We aimed to investigate the mechanical stability of the proximal tibia with different bone formations after plate removal in MOWHTO using finite element models and determine the extent of bone formation when the plate can be removed without correction loss.
Methods: The MOWHTO models with 5, 10, and 15 mm opening gaps were generated.
