Purpose: To evaluate the 7-hole angle plate for open reduction, internal fixation of mandibular angle fractures when the Champy technique is inadequate and more rigid or semirigid fixation is beneficial and to provide rational indications for the choice of the 7-hole angle plate.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 10 patients selected at Parkland Memorial Hospital over a 2-year period when the 7-hole angle plate stabilized their angle fracture. Patients were evaluated for postoperative complications including pain, malocclusion, and infection.
Results: All 10 patients had sufficient follow-up for inclusion in this retrospective study. Correct placement of the 7-hole angle plate, easily accomplished with adequate assistance, produced no reportable postoperative complications.
Conclusion: The 7-hole angle plate is a good first option when more rigid or semirigid fixation is required, and the best fallback when the Champy technique is ineffective.

Wind tunnel experimental calibration of hemispherical 7-hole probe pressure-velocity parametric equation.

College of Meteorology and Oceanography, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, 410073, China.
The multi-hole probe can measure the velocity and three-dimensional direction of the flow field at the same time, so it is often used to measure the three-dimensional flow field. Compared with other flow field measuring instruments, the multi-hole probe has stronger environmental adaptability and stability, and can better measure the three-dimensional flow field of the middle atmosphere. Therefore, a hemispherical 7-hole probe was designed, a pressure-velocity parameterized equation was established based on the theory of flow around a sphere, and a new calibration method was developed based on this.

Affiliated Veterinary Specialists, Maitland, FL, USA.
Objective: To evaluate the complication rate of the double (DPO) and triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) procedure (unilateral and bilateral) with a locking purpose-specific plate.
Study Design: Retrospective case series
Animals: Dogs (n = 26; 38 hips)
Materials: Medical records (January 2007-January 2011) of dogs that had unilateral or bilateral DPO or TPO were evaluated. Signalment, age, body weight, estimated preoperative subluxation and reduction angles, lameness, and complications were evaluated.
