We reviewed the operative treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. Before 1999, 15 fractures were treated with a dynamic condylar screw (DCS) and after 1999, 11 fractures were treated with a gamma nail (GN). The mean age of all patients was 70 (31-92) years, and the mean follow up was 16 (9-30) months for the DCS group and 14 (6-26) months for the GN group. All fractures united. There were no infections or implant cut out. In the DCS group, there was one malunion in varus and one late fracture of the implant. In the GN group, there was one malunion in internal rotation and three intraoperative fractures. Functional evaluation showed no significant differences in pain, range of movement, or walking ability, but recovery was significantly earlier in the GN group.

Analysis of Dynamic Mandibular Movement of Patients With Condylar Hyperplasia Treated With Orthognathic Surgery and Condylectomy.
J Craniofac Surg

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology.
Objective: To assess the dynamic mandibular movement of patients with condylar hyperplasia before and after simultaneous orthognathic surgery and condylectomy through an intraoral approach.
Methods: Two groups of patients diagnosed with unilateral condylar hyperplasia were studied: the preoperative group consisted of 23 patients and the postoperative group consisted of 13 patients who had undergone simultaneous orthognathic surgery and condylectomy through an intraoral approach with follow-up for more than 1 year. The normal reference value was obtained from 11 individuals without oral and maxillofacial diseases.
A clinical comparative analysis using an optical tracking device versus conventional tracking device in the production of occlusal appliances.

Purpose: Optical tracking devices (OTDs) hold promise for enhancing patient-centered prostheses, but their efficacy remains underexplored. This clinical study aimed to comprehensively evaluate differences in static and dynamic occlusions among occlusal appliances fabricated using optical tracking, conventional tracking, and average articulator values (AAVs), providing insights into their efficacy in clinical and research-based practices.
Materials And Methods: Twelve dentate participants aged over 25 years, with Angle Class I and II occlusal relationships, were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
- * This study examines 15 biopsies from patients aged 28-36 to investigate the histological features and protein expression in inactive UCH using light microscopy and immunofluorescence.
- * Findings suggest that even in inactive UCH, there is moderate biological activity, indicating a potential for reactivation and that the condition may not be completely self-limiting, despite the absence of detectable cartilage islands.

Bioreactor can provide a dynamic culture environment for the in vitro construction of osteochondral tissue engineering. They facilitate more efficient exchange of nutrients and provide mechanical and other beneficial stimulation. Previous findings demonstrated that rotary flask (RF) bioreactor, rotary cell culture system (RCCS), or electromagnetic field (EMF) mediated scaffold culture could create a favorable dynamic environment for osteochondral tissue engineering.

Escuela de Odontología, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile.
Study Design: This is a retrospective observational study.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes after an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of condylar neck and base fractures (CNBFs) with a trapezoidal shape plate in patients using a less invasive transparotid approach.
Methods: Fifteen patients with condylar fractures were classified according to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen Craniomaxillofacial (AOCMF) classification system, treated by ORIF with a trapezoidal plate.
