Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of ramus implant anchorage for mandibular arch distalization, and determine the feature of tooth movement.
Methods: Six patients were selected to distalize mandibular arch with ramus implant anchorage. Position changes of mandibular first molars and incisors were measured in sagittal and vertical direction to evaluate the amount of molar and incisor distalization and character of tooth movement. SPSS17.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The average amount of distalization of mandibular first molar was 4.88mm at crown level and 3.1mm at root level, and of mandibular incisor was 5.02mm at crown level and 1.03mm at root level. All of the lower arches were distalized successfully and achieving normal overjet and overbite.
Conclusions: Significant true distalization of lower arch could be obtained by ramus implant as bony anchorage. The method could be used to correct anterior cross bite and mandibular anterior crowding or flaring without extraction.

Background: Stable fixation of joint replacement implants is essential to achieve osseointegration in uncemented implants. In acetabular revisions, screws often need to be utilized in quadrants other than the historically so-called "safe" zones to attain sufficient stability. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether preoperative three-dimensional (3D) planning for acetabular revision surgery influences screw length, specifically in the superior pubic ramus (SPR).

Background: Percutaneous tripod fixation of periacetabular lesions is performed at our institution for patients with metastatic bone disease and a need for quick return to systemic therapy. We have begun to use the IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System instead of the metal implants previously described in the literature because of the success of the IlluminOss implant in fixing fragility fractures about the pelvis.
Description: At our institution, the procedure is performed in the interventional radiology suite in order to allow for the use of 3D radiographic imaging and vector guidance systems.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze changes in mandibular width and frontal view ramus inclination using cone beam CT in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent BSSRO, with the removal of bone interference between segments.
Methods: For all 20 subjects, cone-beam CT imaging was performed prior to surgery (T1), immediately post-surgery (T2), and 6 months after surgery (T3). Reorientation was performed using R2GATE software (MegaGen, Seoul, Korea).
Finite-element analysis of different fixation types after Enneking II + III pelvic tumor resection.

The current primary treatment approach for malignant pelvic tumors involves hemipelvic prosthesis reconstruction following tumor resection. In cases of Enneking type II + III pelvic tumors, the prosthesis necessitates fixation to the remaining iliac bone. Prevailing methods for prosthesis fixation include the saddle prosthesis, ice cream prosthesis, modular hemipelvic prosthesis, and personalized prosthetics using three-dimensional printing.
