The reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) system has been recently developed to decrease the incidence of osseous thermal necrosis and fat embolism associated with intramedullary reaming of long bones in trauma cases. This is achieved by continuous irrigation and suction. Recently, the use of RIA has been expanded to harvest bone graft and debride the medullary canal of long bones in cases of osteomyelitis and intramedullary tumors. Additionally, the collection system of this device has been utilized for its ability to capture bone graft and marrow aspirate. The purpose of this study is to report a comprehensive literature review on the: 1) use of RIA for canal reaming prior to intramedullary nailing; 2) use of RIA for the treatment of intramedullary osteomyelitis of long bones; 3) use of RIA for bone graft harvesting; 4) osteogenic potential of the RIA aspirate; and 5) future applications of the RIA system.

Background: Longitudinal skeletal growth takes place in the cartilaginous growth plates. While growth plates are found at either end of conventional long bones, they occur at a variety of locations in the mammalian skeleton. For example, the metacarpals and metatarsals (MT) in the hands and feet form only a single growth plate at one end, and the pisiform in the wrist is the only carpal bone to contain a growth plate.

Introduction: The spinal endoscopic technique has been extensively documented in decompression procedures for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. However, there is limited literature on the spinal endoscopic in lumbar fusion techniques. This study evaluates the outcomes and safety of full-endoscopic posterior lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-PLIF) for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases.

Background: The learning curve of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the anterior approach in the supine position is considered to be long owing to limited surgical field visualization. This study aimed to investigate the learning curve of a trainee's cup placement using computed tomography (CT)-based navigation, focusing on identifying the number of cases required to achieve proficiency.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 112 hips that underwent total hip arthroplasty using CT-based navigation via anterolateral approach in the supine position by a trainee surgeon who had performed fewer than 20 prior THA cases.
Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids.

The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum. This unique feature is of particular interest when considering functional relationships between the loading regime and cranial structure.
