To quickly construct the orthopedic plates and to conveniently edit it, a novel method for designing the plates is put forward based on feature idea and parameterization. Firstly, attached to the existing or repaired bone model, the region of interest (ROI) is selected as the abutted surface of orthopedic plate, and the ROI is reconstructed to form a CAD surface. Secondly, the CAD surface is to be defined as a surface feature (SF) and then some semantic parameters are configured for it. Lastly, the plate body is constructed through thickening, and some higher parameters are defined for it so as to produce a volumetric feature (VF). In the above process, there exist two main problems: one is parameterization of the abutted surface, and the other is construction of the outer surface. Besides, the mapping relationship has to be built between surface feature parameters and volumetric feature parameters. This method supports the modification of high-level parameters, consequently promoting the quality and efficiency of orthopedic plate design.

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.

Study Design/setting: A retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To compare long-term outcomes and complications of cervical disc replacement (CDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with cage-plate constructs (CPC) and stand-alone (SA) cages in treating degenerative cervical spondylosis.
Summary Of Background Data: ACDF is commonly used for cervical radiculopathy but may increase adjacent segment degeneration (ASD).

Background: The articulotrochanteric distance (ATD) has universally been utilized to assess greater trochanter overgrowth in pediatric orthopaedic diseases. However, its overgrowth cannot be detected in a timely manner due to the absence of a normal ATD value. This study is to determine the ATD normal value in hip radiographs of children under the age of 14 and to establish the threshold for overgrowth of the greater trochanter.

Introduction: Although there is no consensus in the literature, it is believed that the Soong classification system and fracture pattern are risk factors for plate removal in distal radius fractures.
Hypothesis: The aim of this large-scale study was to evaluate the relationship between Soong classification, fracture pattern, and implant removal in distal radius fractures.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 795 patients who underwent surgery using a volar locking plate for distal radius fractures at our clinic between 2005 and 2022.
