This is a report on 18 osteochondral lesions of the talar dome after sprained ankles and ruptured lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle. They were classified according to Berndt & Harty. The treatment of choice in recent flake fractures is the reduction and glueing with fibrine. Very good results were obtained according to Weber. The recommended treatment of ancient flake fractures frequently occurring to elder patients is the removal of the fragment and the drilling of the subchondral bone.

Graphene aerogels with high surface areas, ultra-low densities, and thermal conductivities have been attracted a lot of attention in recent years. However, considerable difference in their deformation behavior and mechanical properties lead to their poor performance. The problem can be solved by preparing graphene aerogel of given morphology and by control the properties through the special structure of graphene cells.

As a novel type of pulsed water jet (PWJ), the pressurized pulsed water jet (PPWJ) shows great potential in the field of rock fragmentation engineering. In this study, the macro and micro morphologies of erosion craters on different targets (sandstone and granite) were measured to investigate the rock fragmentation characteristics of PPWJ. The results show that the fragmentation processes of granite and sandstone are significantly different from each other.

Objective: Patellar dislocations are a common occurrence in orthopedic practice, often accompanied by osteochondral fractures of the retropatellar cartilage surface, known as flake fractures, in up to 58% of cases. The parachute technique represents a simple and cost-effective surgical option aimed at restoring osteochondral integration and preserving native cartilage.
Indications: Flake fracture of the patella with osteochondral fragments.
Design and development of a sensorized hammerstone for accurate force measurement in stone knapping experiments.

The process of making stone tools, specifically knapping, is a hominin behaviour that typically involves using the upper limb to manipulate a stone hammer and apply concentrated percussive force to another stone, causing fracture and detachment of stone chips with sharp edges. To understand the emergence and subsequent evolution of tool-related behaviours in hominins, the connections between the mechanics of stone knapping, including the delivery of percussive forces, and biomechanics and hominin anatomy, especially in the upper limb, are required. However, there is an absence of direct experimental means to measure the actual forces generated and applied to produce flakes during knapping.

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of graphene-polymer composites, focusing on their mechanical and antibacterial properties. Graphene flakes were obtained via an electrochemical method and integrated into polyamide 6 (PA6) matrices using melt intercalation. Various characterization techniques confirmed the quality of the graphene flakes, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) imaging.
