This novel hybrid single-double-single barrel (1-2-1) design for fibula free flap reconstruction addresses the unique challenges presented by Brown Class III mandibular defects, which involve long-span defects at both bodies of the mandible and the chin. The importance of this design lies in its ability to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches in terms of mandible height and pedicle length, while optimizing both functional and esthetic outcomes.The technique utilizes a combination of single-double-single barrel fibula segments to achieve ideal esthetics and support for dental prosthesis across different areas of the mandible.

Background: Arthroscopic repair is recommended for patients with bony Bankart lesions to restore anterior shoulder stability and avoid recurrent glenohumeral instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients following arthroscopic bony Bankart repair using a single suture anchor fixation technique named the "door-locking" technique.

Methods: From January 2017 to February 2024, a consecutive series of 22 patients with acute bony Bankart lesions underwent shoulder arthroscopy.

Chronic fracture-related infection is a complex, costly clinical problem with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. The goals of treatment are infection control with a healed fracture covered by well-vascularized soft tissue and improvement of patient pain and function. Management is both medical, with culture-targeted antimicrobial agents, and surgical, requiring meticulous irrigation and débridement.

Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious complication that occurs primarily in surgically treated fractures. FRIs occur when bacteria enter the site of bony injury and alter the healing inflammatory response within the bone. This can prevent bone regeneration and can lead to long-lasting complications such as chronic infection, pain, nonunion, and amputation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of two types of bone grafts (packed cancellous vs. corticocancellous) used in repairing scaphoid waist nonunion fractures with volar locking plates.
  • Postoperative CT scans showed that 95% of patients achieved osseous bridging, but those with packed cancellous grafts had significantly better healing outcomes than those with corticocancellous grafts.
  • The findings suggest that using packed cancellous autografts may lead to faster and more effective bone healing in these cases.
