Hernias of the lateral abdominal wall are a rare entity. In most cases, they occur after surgery or trauma. We present two cases of lumbar hernia: the first one after iliac bone grafting and the second one after muscular tearing by the seatbelt during a car accident. Both cases were successfully repaired using a propylene mesh with bone fixation.

Challenges in the Management of a Calvarial Defect in an NF1-Patient.
Diseases
December 2024
The Leo M. Davidoff Department of Neurological Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY 10467, USA.
Background: Calvarial defects in NF1 are rare and lack standardized management guidelines. This study seeks to shed light on calvarial defects in NF1 patients with extensive skull erosion.
Methods: This case report focuses on clinical and radiological presentations and surgical interventions during six years of follow-up, comparing the results with those in the literature.
Benefits and Effects of Laser-Based Techniques in Complementary Maxillary Expansion: A Narrative Review.

Department of Orthodontics, University of Bergen, Bergen, NOR.
Transversal maxillary deficiency is a prevalent skeletal issue that can be addressed using various devices and methods, including rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). These techniques involve the separation and regeneration of the midpalatal suture (MPS). Laser therapies, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and photobiomodulation (PBM), have been proposed to improve biological wound or bone healing.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the biomechanical performance of different designs of three-unit implant-supported prostheses using two materials (Zirconia and PEKK) under various loading conditions.
- Three models were created with different implant placements to analyze three designs: distal cantilever, fixed-fixed, and mesial cantilever, utilizing finite element analysis for stress evaluation.
- Results indicated that the fixed-fixed design performed best, with PEKK showing lower stress in some areas but higher stress in others compared to Zirconia, highlighting the importance of design and material choice in prosthodontics.
The intrapelvic approach to the acetabulum.

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Helsinki University Hospital, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
The today well accepted intrapelvic approach for acetabular and pelvic ring injury fixation was first described by Hirvensalo and Lindahl in 1993 followed by a more detailed description by Cole and Bolhofner in 1994. Compared to the well-known ilioinguinal approach, described by Letournel, this approach allows an intrapelvic view to the medial acetabulum, while using the ilioinguinal approach a more superior, extrapelvic view, is dissected to the area of the acetabulum. Several names have been used to describe the new intrapelvic approach with increasing usage, mainly ilio-anterior approach, extended Pfannenstiel approach, Stoppa-approach, Rives-Stoppa approach, modified Stoppa approach and recently anterior intrapelvic approach.

Reconstructing the orbit following complex craniofacial fractures presents significant challenges. Throughout the years, several materials have been used for orbital reconstruction, taking into account factors such as their durability, compatibility with living tissue, cost efficiency, safety, and capacity to be adjusted during surgery. Nevertheless, a consensus has not yet been reached on the optimal material for orbital restoration.
