Cases: We report 2 cases of missing condylar region associated with severe elbow trauma treated with our new surgical technique and present the outcomes at the 9- and 10-year follow-ups. Our method focused on anatomical isometric point reconstruction, which consisted of the reconstruction of the missing condylar region with the iliac bone and the collateral ligament with the palmaris longus tendon.
Conclusions: This injury is rare, and treatment is challenging because of the difficulty in identifying the isometric point. Both patients achieved good elbow function. The bone defect region was almost remodeled with minimal bone tunnel enlargement. Overall, our technique can provide positive results.

Background: Mandibular retraction is a prevalent dental and maxillofacial deformity that negatively affects patients' functional health and facial aesthetics. It has been challenging to achieve optimal outcomes for patients who have passed the peak of growth and development using only functional orthopedic treatment. There is a pressing need to explore innovative methods to promote the adaptive remodeling of adult condylar cartilage and the mandible in response to external stimuli.

Three different kinds of condylar inclination were manually modelled anteriorly inclined condylar neck, vertical condylar neck, and posteriorly inclined condylar neck. Three different maxillary impactions were simulated to evaluate the effect of counterclockwise rotation. The von Misses stresses of the disc, compressive stresses of the glenoid fossa, and compressive stresses of the condyle were the highest in the models with posteriorly inclined neck and lowest in the models with vertical condylar neck design.

- * This report presents a rare instance of a unilateral condylar head fracture in an adult woman after a road traffic accident, discussing its incidence and related controversies.
Biomechanical behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone as a dental implant material in implant-supported overdenture under mandibular trauma: A finite element analysis study.

Context: Implant-supported overdentures are well-known and widely accepted treatment modality to increase retention which is a crucial factor for determining patient satisfaction. The placement of two implants in the anterior region can be selected as a first-line treatment in patients with the atrophic mandibular ridge.
Aims: The purpose of this research was to assess the biomechanical effects of carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implant-supported overdenture in the event of 2,000 N forefront trauma to an atrophic edentulous mandible by using the finite element analysis method.
Missed Medial Condyle Hoffa Fracture in a Case of Lateral Condyle Hoffa Fracture.

Article Synopsis
- The Hoffa fracture is a rare type of fracture in the femoral condyles that can be difficult to diagnose with standard imaging.
- A 42-year-old man suffered a missed diagnosis of a Hoffa fracture after a motorcycle accident, initially treated with painkillers until a CT scan revealed the fracture, as well as an undetected medial condylar fracture.
- Surgical intervention ultimately addressed both fractures, leading to successful rehabilitation; emphasizing the need for thorough imaging and assessment to avoid overlooking additional injuries.
