AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a new method of treating femoral shaft nonunion using sliding bone grafts with double locking plate fixation.
- Data from 25 patients showed that this method resulted in a 100% bony union rate, with an average time to union of 6 months and no observed complications.
- The findings suggest that this surgical technique is both safe and effective, but more extensive research is needed for broader validation.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate a novel method of sliding bone graft combined with double locking plate fixation in treating femoral shaft nonunion.
Methods: Clinical data from patients with femoral shaft nonunion that was treated with sliding bone grafts combined with double locking plate fixation were retrospectively collected. Data included duration of surgery, blood loss, union rate, time to union and possible complications.
Results: Twenty-five patients included in the study were followed for a mean duration of 16.6 ± 2.6 months (range, 12-22 months). All of the fractures (100%) achieved bony union. Mean time to union was 6.0 ± 1.0 months (range, 4-8 months). No infections or medullary cavity occlusions were observed.
Conclusions: Sliding bone graft combined with double locking plate fixation was shown to be a safe, effective, and convenient surgical option for the treatment of nonunion, due to its high union rates with no complications. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer-term follow-up are warranted.

Chin narrowing surgery also described as T-shape genioplasty is a procedure commonly performed in South Korean females, as well as, transgender females as it provides more triangle and feminine appearance of the lower face. It requires segmentation of the chin and that is more challenging than classic sliding genioplasty, which is commonly performed in the correction of retro or progenia. This article describes the utility of the new concept of a t-shape genioplasty plate that reduces the time of operation and minimizes typical complications of this procedure such as postoperative chin asymmetry or inadequate adhesion between bone segments.

High transductive loss at tissue injury sites impedes repair. The high dissipation characteristics in the electromechanical conversion of piezoelectric biomaterials pose a challenge. Therefore, supramolecular engineering and microfluidic technology is utilized to introduce slide-ring polyrotaxane and conductive polypyrrole to construct stress-electric coupling hydrogel microspheres.

The regional variation of the femur bone is influenced by sex, stature geographical area and heredity, as the environment plays an important role in the developmental process. This cross-sectional descriptive purposive study was done on 150 (64 right and 86 left) fully ossified dry human femur of Bangladeshi people to find out the variation of neck length on anterior and posterior aspect. Sample was collected in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from January 2019 to December 2019.

This anthropometric study was designed to construct data of 5 to 10 years aged Bangladeshi children regarding tibial length and an attempt has been made out to grow interest among the researchers for future study of different country. This study will be helpful to compare the data with the data of the people of other races. This cross sectional descriptive type study was conducted among Bangladeshi children (5-10 years aged) at different areas of Mymensingh district.
