The results of 194 consecutive interlocking nailings for 95 fractures in the tibia and 99 fractures in the femur with a median observation time of 22 months are presented. Three fractures were not consolidated radiologically at follow-up; three deep infections were recorded, all of which healed. Shortening greater than 1 cm was recorded in 17 fractures, rotatory malalignment greater than 5 degrees in 21, and angular malalignment greater than 5 degrees occurred in 17. The end result was excellent in 121 fractures, good in 41, fair in 28, and poor in 4.

Background: Recently researches have reported that miRNA and its target genes are associated with osteoporosis. MiRNA and mRNA might be potential diagnostic markers for osteoporosis.
Purposes: The aim of this study is to explore the potential miRNA and mRNA markers by bioinformatics method and clinical analysis.

Subtrochanteric femoral fractures are one of the common fractures encountered in today's Orthopaedic practice. This area consists of mostly cortical bone with high stress generation thus heal slowly which leads implant failure. The inherent instability of this fracture and forces of the muscles with comminuted medial calcar is giving the fracture a tendency to varus collapse.

The regional variation of the femur bone is influenced by sex, stature geographical area and heredity, as the environment plays an important role in the developmental process. This cross-sectional descriptive purposive study was done on 150 (64 right and 86 left) fully ossified dry human femur of Bangladeshi people to find out the variation of neck length on anterior and posterior aspect. Sample was collected in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from January 2019 to December 2019.

Purpose: Although several techniques have been described for bent intramedullary nail removal, there is no universally accepted strategy. We hypothesized that a device based on the action principle of a three-point bend fixture could facilitate extraction of bent intramedullary nails; this paper describes its design and experimental testing.
Methods: Five large synthetic left femurs and five steel intramedullary nails were used.

Background: This study investigated the impact of higher interfragmentary compression force (IFCF) on the stability of locking plate fixation in lateral tibial plateau fractures.
Methods: Biomechanical experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to compare the performance of the AO cancellous lag screw (AOCLS) and a newly developed combined cancellous lag screw (CCLS).
Results: The results demonstrated that the CCLS provided a higher IFCF without the risk of over-screwing, significantly improving fixation stability.
