The drilling technique and the surface characteristics are known to influence the healing times of oral implants. The influence of osteotomy dimension on osseointegration of microroughned implant surfaces treated with resorbable blasting media was tested in an in vivo model. Ninety-six implants (ø4.5 mm, 8 mm in length) with resorbable blasting media-treated surfaces were placed in the ileum of six sheep. The final osteotomy diameters were 4.6 mm (reamer), 4.1 mm (loose), 3.7 mm (medium), and 3.2 mm (tight). After three and six weeks of healing, the implants were biomechanically tested and histologically evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using Page L trend test for ordered and paired sample and linear regression, with significance level at p < 0.05. An overall increase in all dependent variables was observed with the reduction of osteotomy diameter. In addition, all osseointegration scores increased over time. At three weeks, the retention was significantly higher for smaller osteotomies. The histological sections depicted intimate contact of bone with all the implant surfaces and osteoblast lines were visible in all sections. The resorbable blasting media microroughed surfaces achieved successful osseointegration for all the instrumentation procedures tested, with higher osseointegration scores for the high insertion torque group.

Novel CAD/CAM-splint-based navigation protocol enhances intraoperative maxillary position control in orthognathic surgery: a case control study.
Head Face Med
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Heinrich Heine University Hospital Düsseldorf, Moorenstraße 5, 40225, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Background: Virtual surgical planning for orthognathic surgery typically relies on two methods for intraoperative plan transfer: CAD/CAM occlusal splints and patient-specific implants (PSI). While CAD/CAM splints may offer limited accuracy, particularly in the vertical dimension, PSIs are constrained by higher costs and extended preparation times. Surgical navigation has emerged as a potential alternative, but existing protocols often involve invasive registration or lack transparent evaluation.

Department of Periodontics and Dental Hygiene, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Dentistry, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: There is limited evidence on the effect of osseodensification drilling (OD) on alveolar ridge dimension changes and implant stability compared to standard drilling (SD). The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of both drilling protocols on ridge dimensional changes and implant stability.
Methods: Fifteen patients were recruited for a total of 20 pairs of implants.
Total Elbow Replacement in Swine: Surgical Technique and Initial Clinical Experience in a Kunekune Sow.

ACCESS Bone & Joint Center, ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospital Los Angeles, Culver City, California, United States.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the development of a total elbow replacement (TER) technique in swine and report the outcome of TER in a Kunekune sow (61 kg) with severe elbow osteoarthritis.
Methods: The technique was developed by operating on three pig cadavers (Yorkshire 40-50 kg). The TATE Elbow implant fit was confirmed with modeling to the patient's computed tomography imaging.
Surgical Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty With Paavilainen Osteotomy in Patients Who Have High Developmental Hip Dislocation: Mean 4.4-Year Follow-Up.
J Arthroplasty
October 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, PR China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the use of Paavilainen osteotomy in combination with total hip arthroplasty (THA) for treating high developmental hip dislocation, focusing on effectiveness and risk factors for nonunion after the procedure.
- - A total of 44 patients were reviewed over an average follow-up of 4.4 years, showing significant improvement in hip function scores, with a 12% incidence of nonunion, which was linked to the length of contact between the osteotomy block and femoral cortex.
- - The research concluded that this combined surgical approach is effective and less complex than other methods for high-dislocation hip dysplasia, with a critical contact length of 2.15 cm identified as essential for
Morphometric analysis of the spinal cord in patients undergoing posterior vertebral column subtraction osteotomy for recurrent tethered cord syndrome.

Departments of1Neurosurgery and.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on posterior vertebral column subtraction osteotomy (PVCSO), a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating symptoms in patients with recurrent tethered cord syndrome (TCS) by shortening the spinal column and relieving tension on the spinal cord.
- Researchers retrospectively analyzed six patients who underwent PVCSO from 2019 to 2023, measuring changes in spinal cord dimensions through MRI and recording clinical outcomes such as motor function and pain relief after surgery.
- Results showed significant improvements in motor function for all patients, sensory function for 40%, and pain relief for 83%, along with notable anatomical changes in the spinal cord, indicating successful outcomes and minimal complications associated with the surgery.
