Purpose: This study evaluated the biologic response to titanium mesh and autogenous particulate bone grafts for the reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects in a dog model.
Materials And Methods: Unilateral 40-mm critical-sized continuity defects of the mandible were made in five beagle dogs. Titanium mesh was shaped and fixed with titanium screws in the defects. Autogenous bone was harvested from the ablated mandible and iliac crest (the ratio of cortical bone:cancellous bone was 3:1) and used to fill the mesh. Two implants were placed into each bone graft. The animals were sacrificed after 6 months. Radiographs, histologic sections, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were performed to evaluate bone formation and osseointegration of the implants in the reconstructed mandibles.
Results: The outline of the reconstructed mandible was satisfactory, and no bone resorption was observed in the defect area. All implants showed excellent osseointegration of the grafted bone. Furthermore, the density of bone formed around the implants was higher than that seen in control samples (intact, ungrafted dog hemimandibles).
Conclusions: Shaped titanium mesh with autogenous particulate bone graft is a predictable method for restoring critical-sized continuity defects of the mandible. Simultaneous implant placement is feasible and the structure of bone formed near implants may be optimal.

Article Synopsis
- Cage subsidence can negatively affect lumbar fusion procedures, with material selection (PEEK vs. 3D-Ti) influencing this issue; the study aims to compare their subsidence rates.
- The systematic search reviewed 265 patients from three high-quality studies, focusing on cage subsidence and classified subsidence rates using a specific method.
- Results indicated that 3D-Ti cages have a significantly lower rate of subsidence compared to PEEK cages, with less severe subsidence and better overall performance.
Impact of titanium mesh cage slotting width on anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion for compression cervical spondylosis with MRI T2WI hyperintensity: a one-year follow-up study.

Department of Orthopedics, Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is a standard surgical procedure for cervical spondylosis with spinal cord compression (CSWSCC), especially in patients with intensity on T2-weighted imaging high signal (T2WIHS). The titanium mesh cage (TMC) utilized in this procedure is essential in stabilizing the spine; however, the optimal slotting width of the TMC remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of TMC slotting width on the clinical and radiological outcomes of ACCF in patients with spinal cord compression type cervical spondylosis with intensity on T2WIHS (CST2WIHS).

Introduction: Costal margin rupture (CMR) injuries in association with intercostal hernia (IH) are rare and symptomatic and provide a significant surgical challenge. Surgical failure rates up to 60% are reported, and optimal techniques are unclear. We have characterized these injuries and describe the evolution of our surgical management techniques.

Introduction And Importance: Growing skull fracture is one the rarest complication of skull fracture. They are identified mostly in infancy and children's, secondary to head trauma but there exist possibility of missed diagnosis in childhood and patient presenting in adulthood with delayed complications. Hence timely diagnosis and prompt management is mandatory.
