Xincheng Gold Mine is taken as an example to investigate the ground subsidence that results from filling. Both numerical simulations and simulation experiments are conducted to simulate the deformation process at the stope roof and bottom from excavation and filling. The assumption of macroscopic continuity from traditional continuum mechanics models is overcome. The simulation results demonstrate that the ground subsidence is slowed due to filling. The total trends of the top and bottom displacements are sinkable and upturned, respectively. Moreover, with an increased buried depth and lateral pressure coefficient, the displacements of the top and bottom of the stope increase as well. The characteristics and evolution of the displacement vector field of the rock mass are macroscopically and microscopically studied over the excavation progress. This provides technical support for stope safety production.

Background: Few comparative studies on the correlation between stem length, stem alignment, and/or stress shielding have been conducted in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). This study aimed to investigate the effects of different humeral stem lengths on stem alignment and proximal stress shielding after rTSA.
Methods: A total of 320 patients who underwent primary rTSA from October 2010 to May 2020 with at least 2 years of follow-up (mean follow-up: 32.

Investigation Performed at the University of Washington, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Seattle, WA, USA. Electronic address:
Background: While stress shielding and adaptive bone changes around the humeral component are often observed after shoulder arthroplasty, the potential causative factors and clinical significance of these findings at mid-term follow-up have not been well elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency, patterns and clinical significance of radiographic findings around the humeral component of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) at minimum 4-year follow-up.
Methods: The 6-week and minimum 4-year radiographs of patients who underwent HA and TSA were evaluated for filling ratios, changes in the humeral bone surrounding the component, and component shift or subsidence.

For a long time, the management of surface structures such as villages and rivers affected by underground coal mining has been a popular and difficult issue in coal mining. With the further tightening of environmental protection requirements, it has become challenging for some underground coal mines that lack the conditions for filling and grouting to ensure the recovery of coal resources while controlling surface subsidence. Furthermore, many such common issues have emerged in the Yushen and Binchang mining areas of Shanxi Province, as well as in several other coalfields, severely constraining the development of coal energy and ecological environmental protection.

Underground coal excavation has caused a series of geological disasters and environmental problems, especially coal mining subsidence. Backfill-strip mining, which combines the advantages of strip mining and backfill mining, can reduce subsidence and improve the recovery rate of coal. Therefore, predicting the impact of backfill-strip mining on the surface environment and strata structure is essential for the better development of backfill-strip mining technology.

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of three-dimensional (3D) volumetric humeral canal fill ratios (VFR) of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) short and standard stems on biomechanical stability and bone deformations in the proximal humerus.
Methods: Forty cadaveric shoulder specimens were analyzed in a clinical computed tomography (CT) scanner allowing for segmentation of the humeral canal to calculate volumetric measures which were verified postoperatively with plain radiographs. Virtual implant positioning allowed for group assignment (VFR < 0.
