Objective: The aim of this study was to compare changes in temperature of the surrounding bone at various osteotomy depths during implant site preparation by bone condensing and by bone drilling as well as the dynamics of their change.
Study Design: In the present "in vitro" study, pig ribs with uniform thickness of cortical bone of 2 mm were used. Lateral bone-condensing (experimental group) and bone-drilling techniques (control group) were performed. Temperature changes were recorded at a distance of 0.5 mm from the final test osteotomy by 3 thermocouples at the depths of 1, 5, and 10 mm in tripod configuration. Data were collected from 48 measurements, 24 for each group.
Results: Significantly higher mean temperature increase at the depth of 5 mm was observed during bone drilling compared with bone condensing, whereas for the depths of 1 and 10 mm differences were not significant between the 2 surgical techniques. During bone condensing, the mean temperature rise was continuously decreasing with increasing depth of osteotomies, whereas during bone drilling the mean temperature rise was first increased and reached a peak at the depth of 5 mm and then began to decrease with increasing depth of the osteotomies.
Conclusions: The bone-condensing technique applied in the jaw bone class D4 offers an advantage over bone drilling because it generates a significantly smaller amount of heat.

Efficacy of small-diameter core decompression with platelet-rich plasma in early osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a retrospective study.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenging condition, primarily affecting young and middle-aged individuals, which results in hip dysfunction and, ultimately, femoral head collapse. However, the comparative effectiveness of joint-preserving procedures, particularly in the early stages of ONFH (ARCO stage I or II), remains inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique called small-diameter core decompression (CD) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for the treatment of early-stage ONFH.

The authors present two cases of mouth floor hemorrhage consequences of implant placement within the atrophic anterior mandible. In one patient, the implant placement was associated with the guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique. This serious complication has been widely described in the literature, especially in the anterior mandible area.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Background: Iatrogenic suprascapular nerve injury secondary to posterior drilling or screw penetration is a recognized complication of bone block or coracoid process transfers for anterior glenohumeral instability. We present the first cadaveric study that assesses the safety of posteroanterior reference guides and quantifies the relationship of the suprascapular nerve to posterior glenoid fixation with suture buttons.
Methods: Anterior glenoid bone block reconstruction with suture buttons utilizing a posteroanterior reference guide was performed in 10 fresh frozen cadavers via a posterior portal.
The Intraosseous Subarcuate Loop of Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery: Anatomic Management Guide, Single-Center MRI Study, and Scoping Review.

Department of Neurologic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background And Objectives: The intraosseous subarcuate loop (SL) is a unique variant of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), where a loop of the artery is trapped in the petrous bone's subarcuate fossa (SF). Recognizing this variant is crucial for planning cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgeries; however, data regarding its frequency and management vary in the published literature. A cohort from a single center was studied using MRI to assess its prevalence, and the findings were compared with the existing literature.
