Objective: To compare the breakage risk of lengthened sacroiliac screws and ordinary sacroiliac screws to treat unilateral vertical sacral fractures and provide a reference for clinical application.
Methods: A finite element model of Tile C pelvic ring injury (unilateral type Denis II fracture of the sacrum) was produced. The sacral fractures were fixed with a lengthened sacroiliac screw and ordinary sacroiliac screw in 6 types of models. The maximal von Mises stresses and stress distributions of the two kinds of screws when standing on both feet were measured and compared.
Results: The maximal von Mises stress of the lengthened screw was less than that of the ordinary screw. Compared with ordinary screw, the stress distribution in the lengthened screw was more homogeneous.
Conclusions: The breakage risk of screws fixed in double segments is lower than that of screws fixed in single segments, the breakage risk of lengthened screws is lower than that of ordinary screws, and the breakage risk of screws fixed in S2 segments is lower than that of screws fixed in S1 segments.

Neuroblastoma Occurring in Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome.
J Pediatr Hematol Oncol

Medical Faculty, University of Belgrade.
Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease due to a pathogenic variant in the NBN gene causing impaired DNA repair and increased predisposition for lymphoid malignancy. By contrast, solid tumors have been rarely reported. Neuroblastoma (NB) is a rare childhood solid tumor, associated with the worse outcome if MYCN oncogene is amplified.

Summary Of Background Data: Fusion surgery has been used to treat chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disk disease (DDD). The traditional pedicle screw system made of titanium, though biocompatible, can lead to complications, such as stress shielding and implant failure.
Cephalomedullary Nailing for Subtrochanteric and Reverse-Oblique Femoral Fractures: Comparison of a Single Versus Dual Lag Screw Device.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
December 2024
Edinburgh Orthopaedics, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Background: Subtrochanteric proximal femoral fractures are generally treated with cephalomedullary nail fixation. We aimed to compare outcomes of subtrochanteric fracture fixation using a single lag screw (Gamma3 nail, GN) or dual lag screw (INTERTAN nail, IN) device.
Methods: The primary outcome measure was mechanical failure, defined as lag screw cut-out or back-out, nail breakage, or peri-implant fracture.
Scleral fixated intraocular lens techniques for the vitreoretinal surgeon: an update.
Curr Opin Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Research, Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA.
Purpose Of Review: To describe recent evidence regarding surgical techniques for secondary scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs), with attention to information most relevant to the surgical practice of vitreoretinal surgeons.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have reported favorable outcomes in patients treated with scleral fixation of IOLs using Gore-Tex suture and flanged intrascleral haptic fixation (ISHF). ISHF can be achieved using trocar-cannulas or double needle-based techniques.
How can osteosynthesis material used for fracture fixation undergo intrathoracic migration?-a systematic literature review.
J Thorac Dis
November 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Robert Schuman Hospitals Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Background: Kirschner wires or pins were widely used for osteosynthesis in trauma surgery. Breakage of osteosynthesis material and intra-thoracic migration is a complication that has occasionally been described. We reviewed the literature to study the frequency and pathophysiology of such migrations.
