Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for the treatment of diaphyseal femoral fractures. Bending of the nail secondary to trauma is a rare complication encountered in unhealed and comminuted fractures. A 23-year-old man was admitted with refracture of the right femoral shaft and a 32-degree bending of an inflatable intramedullary nail due to a fall, two months after the initial surgical treatment. The nail was first straightened by exerting an external force, which decreased the angulation to 10 degrees. Then, the fracture site was opened, the lateral wall of the nail was drilled, and one of the four metal bars of the nail was cut. This allowed complete straightening of the nail by the same maneuver and its removal. A new inflatable intramedullary nail was placed and union was achieved after four months. Tools that may be necessary to cut the nail partially or totally should be made available for removal of bent nails.

Introduction: Hydrofluoric acid is extremely toxic and can corrode tissues while reacting with calcium and magnesium, leading to severe tissue damage. The antidote, calcium gluconate, is effective for treating mild to moderate burns. However, our hospital lacks registered calcium gluconate gel, making treatment challenging.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the optimal position for the femoral neck system (FNS) device when fixing Pauwels III #NOF, by analyzing the mechanical stability and stress distribution of FNS at different screw placement positions for the fixation of Pauwels III femoral neck fractures.

Methods: We employed finite element analysis to create a 3D model of a Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture. Six models were designed, each with varied FNS screw placement positions.

Purpose: Excessive sliding of cephalic components of cephalomedullary nails has been established to be significantly associated with the development of mechanical failures and unfavorable results in the surgical treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. This study aims to elucidate the risk factors that contribute to excessive sliding in elderly patients treated with PFNA-II devices for the fixation of intertrochanteric fracture.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients aged 65 and older who presented with intertrochanteric fractures and underwent surgical treatment using PFNA-II devices at a university teaching hospital between January 2020 and December 2021.

Onychomycosis, a nail infection prevalent in 50 to 60% of all nail illnesses globally, caused by dermatophytes, poses significant challenges to current therapies due to their limitations in effective administration. This review explores recent advancements in novel drug delivery systems while exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying onychomycosis progression. The physicochemical properties of antifungal treatments and the intricate structure of the nail plate present challenges and can be addressed by nanotechnology-enabled solutions.
