Article Abstract
Objective: To introduce a new broken pedicle screw fragment retrieval instrument, and evaluate its clinical viability and effectiveness.
Methods: Following basic retrieval contrivance of broken pedicle screws described in literature, a new retrieval instrument was designed and developed; introducing its mechanism, technical components, and use. This innovative apparatus proved successful not only in saw bone and cadaver trials but in 10 clinical cases as well.
Results: This particular unique instrument successfully retrieves broken pedicle screw fragments through original passage backing out the screw with preservation of pedicle integrity while maintaining pedicle biomechanics. No complications were observed.
Conclusions: With solid scientific theoretical planning and experimentation, the new retrieval instrument design proved clinical practicality and efficacy.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective the iliac myocutaneous flap, which is supplied by the deep circumflex iliac artery, is for repairing complex wounds in the lower limbs that have cavities.
- Seven patients (4 males, 3 females) aged 24-58 were analyzed, all with severe lower limb injuries due to various accidents; injury classifications indicated a range of bone and soft tissue damage.
- Results showed that all flaps except one (which experienced partial necrosis) survived, with a successful healing rate and average bone healing time of 7.3 months, indicating the procedure's effectiveness for complex lower limb defects.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rod semi-rigid pedicle screw fixation system in lumbar spine non-fusion surgery.
Methods: A total of 74 patients with tow-level lumbar degenerative diseases who underwent surgery from March 2017 to December 2019 were divided into PEEK rod group and titanium rod group. In the PEEK rod group, there were 34 patients, including 13 males and 21 females, aged from 51 to 79 years old with an average of (62.
TRANSPEDICULAR SCREW FIXATION IN DEGENERATIVE LUMBOSACRAL SPINE DISEASE SURGICAL OUTCOME.

Highlighting the prospective evaluation of the surgical outcome of pedicle screw usage in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine disease in fifty-five patients who were treated consecutively via a posterior surgical approach with pedicle screw fixation. A total of 55 consecutive patients with degenerative lumbosacral spine disease were treated at AL Mosul Teaching Hospital. Patients were included if they were between the ages of 25 and 60 years, they were admitted to the hospital with chronic back pain and or radicular pain and had a pedicle anatomy (based on a preoperative X-ray) that could accommodate surgical stabilization with PS instrumentation and fusion.

Introduction: Historically, inferior breast reduction is more commonly performed overall and this applies to the elder population. No study to this date has compared whether there is any difference in complications and overall safety between when using superomedial pedicle and inferior pedicle in geriatric patients and furthermore whether the safety profile of superomedial pedicle differs when compared to general population.
Methods: Patient files of women who had undergone breast reduction by a single surgeon over a 9 year period (2015-2023) was reviewed retrospectively.
Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusions Using a Titanium Cage with a Biomimetic Surface.

Background: We analyzed clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusions (ALIFs) using a new biomimetic titanium fusion cage (Titan nanoLOCK interbody, Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States). This specialized cage employs precise nanotechnology to stimulate inherent biochemical and cellular osteogenic reactions to the implant, aiming to amplify the rate of fusion. To our knowledge, this is the only study to assess early clinical and radiographic results in ALIFs.
