Objective: To explore a new approach to determining the location of S1 screw for percutaneous screw fixation of the sacroiliac joint using a targeting device.
Methods: Virtual three-dimensional pelvic models were reconstructed using the computed tomography (CT) scan data obtained from 100 adult subjects without any bony abnormalities. Mimics software was used to determine the ideal operating plane for S1 sacroiliac screw fixation based on the osseous marks. The parameters for screw fixation on the plane were measured, including the entry point, the needle angle (γ) and the safety range, and the accuracy of these parameters was verified using the digital models.
Results: The ideal operating plane could be determined by the osseous prominences of ASIS (A) and PSIS (B) and the midpoint of S1 vertebral spines. The point at the posterior 1/3 of the line connecting points A and B could be defined as the entry point on the plane. The range of the needle angle γ was 101.4-117.2° for male and 109.5-120.78° for female patients, showing a significant sexual difference. Simulation results based on these parameters resulted in a total success rate of 91.25% (92.5% in male and 90% in female).
Conclusion: These parameters of the S1 screw can ensure a high success rate for percutaneous screw fixation of the sacroiliac joint and provide anatomical evidence for the development of a targeting device for the procedure.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and reliability of using bioabsorbable screws for the fixation of chevron osteotomy in the treatment of hallux valgus (HV) deformity.
Methods: Clinical cases of chevron osteotomy in the treatment of HV deformities in our hospital between December 2018 and August 2022 were retrospectively summarised to compare preoperative imaging indices with those at the final follow-up session, including the hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and tibial sesamoid position (TSP). The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale, short-form health survey questionnaire (SF-36) and European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) scale were used to assess therapeutic efficacy.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the biomechanics of three kinds of rigid internal fixation methods for condylar head fractures.
Methods: A three dimensional finite element model of the normal mandible was constructed. It was then used to prepare condylar head fracture finite element model and three kinds of rigid internal fixation finite element model (unilateral tension screw, bilateral tension screw, tension screw+titanium plate).

Locking plates have a rapidly growing process especially in the past decades and results are satisfactory especially in the osteoporotic bones compared to non-locking compression plates. There are many forms of failure in the fracture fixation of locking plates, and screw pull-out is one of the main failure reasons. In this study, we aim to investigate pull-out failure in locking plates using locking spongious screws.

Background: The medial malleolus is involved in up to 50 % of ankle fractures. When surgery is required, a thorough understanding of bone mass distribution within the distal tibia is crucial for selecting and positioning screws to ensure stable fixation. Despite its clinical significance, data on the bone mass distribution in the distal tibia remains limited.

Introduction: There are few reports on the treatment of pelvic posterior ring injury with Sacral 1 - Sacral 3(S1-S3)sacroiliac screw fixation. This article reports a case of pelvic posterior ring injury with S1 sacral dysmorphism treated with S1-S3 sacroiliac screw fixation and reviews the relevant research progress.
Presentation Of The Case: A 72-year-old man riding e-bike was struck by a car at a high speed and diagnosed with pelvic fracture.
