: to address the issue of burst drug release in antibiotic-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement (ALBC), this study involved preparation of novel PMMA bone cement and determination of its antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, compressive properties, maximum temperature, and setting time. : a novel acrylic monomer, which contains the 3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5)-one (DHF), was synthesized and utilized to develop non-leaching antibacterial PMMA bone cement (NLBC), designated as DHF-methacrylic acid (DHF-MAA) bone cement. In the preparation of this bone cement, DHF-MAA served as a key component of the liquid phase.

Introduction: Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures of the tibia with ipsilateral tibial shaft represent a rare but challenging orthopedic injury, necessitating careful consideration of surgical interventions for optimal outcomes. This case report presents the successful management of tibial shaft fracture (proximal 1/3rd junction) along with ipsilateral PCL avulsion fracture of tibia using a novel approach using open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial shaft with Locking compression plate (LCP) with cannulated cancellous screw and spiked washer fixation of PCL avulsion. There are no case reports or research articles available for the management of PCL avulsion fracture of tibia associated with ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture.

Background: Growth rods are the gold standard for treating early-onset scoliosis (EOS). However, current treatments with growth rods do not optimize spinal growth in EOS patients, and frequent distraction surgeries significantly increase complications, imposing considerable economic and psychological burdens on patients. An improved growth rod is urgently required to address the need for dynamic growth and external regulation.

Tic douloureux, also known as trigeminal neuralgia, is distinguished by recurrent episodes of severe, lancinating pain that affects one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, representing a prevalent pain syndrome. This condition has an annual incidence rate of 27 per 100,000 individuals. Nevertheless, direct compression caused by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) represents a considerably less frequent etiology of trigeminal neuralgia, with an estimated overall incidence of about 1%.
