The dislocation-grain boundary (GB) interaction plays an important role in GB-related plasticity. Therefore, an atomistic investigation of the interaction provides a deeper understanding of the strength and fracture of polycrystalline metals. In this study, we investigated the absorption of a screw dislocation with a Burgers vector perpendicular to the GB normal and the corresponding symmetric tilt grain boundaries (STGBs) in BCC-Fe based on molecular static simulations focusing on the STGB-dislocation interaction energy and atomistic structural changes at GB. The STGB-screw dislocation interaction depends on the energetical stability of the STGB against the GB shift along the Burgers vector direction. When the interaction exhibited a large attractive interaction energy, the dislocation dissociation and the GB shift along the Burgers vector direction occurred simultaneously. The interaction energy reveals that the interaction depends on the energetical stability of the STGB in terms of the GB shift in addition to the geometrical descriptor of the GB type, such as the Σ value. The same behavior was also obtained in the reaction when the second dislocation was introduced. We also discuss the screw dislocation absorption and rearrangement of the GB atomistic structure in STGB from an energetic viewpoint.

Risk factors of avascular femoral head necrosis after a pediatric femoral neck fracture: a 15-year follow up and an adjustment to the Delbet classification.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg

Orthopedic Clinic Olgahospital, Klinikum Stuttgart, Kriegsbergstraße 62, 70173, Stuttgart, Germany.
Background: Pediatric femoral neck fractures (PFNF) are rare but associated with a high rate of serious complications such as avascular femoral head necrosis (AVN). Major risk factors and prognostic tools for an AVN are still unclear. As AVN is a devastating complication, this study aims to evaluate the predictors for AVN following a PFNF.

Department of Radiology, Balgrist University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, University of Zurich, Forchstrasse 340, 8008, Zurich, Switzerland.
Objectives: To evaluate CT imaging findings in symptomatic patients with and without revision surgery (RS) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, two radiologists assessed CT imaging findings in symptomatic patients with RSA over 5 years, including material fracture and loosening of the peg, baseplate, screws, and humeral stem, screw positioning, prosthesis dislocation, glenoid notching, fractures, and deltoid muscle quality. The primary outcome parameter was RS.
Background: Kirschner wire (K-wire) and intramedullary (IM) screw fixation are accepted techniques for treatment of unstable proximal phalanx fractures, but comparative reports are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate early clinical outcomes following treatment with K-wire or IM fixation.
Methods: A retrospective review of all proximal phalanx fractures treated surgically at a single center by multiple surgeons was performed from May 1, 2019 to March 1, 2024.
C2 anatomical pedicle screw for C2 fixation under the concept of atlantoaxial joint distraction and fusion with intra-articular cages: technical note.

Department of Neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, 45 Changchun Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, China.
Purpose: To describe a novel alternative technique for C2 fixation under the concept of atlantoaxial joint distraction and fusion with intra-articular Cages, and to report its preliminary clinical outcomes.
Methods: Eighteen patients with basilar invagination and atlantoaxial dislocation underwent atlantoaxial joint distraction and fusion with intra-articular Cages. All patients had hypoplasia of the C2 isthmus prohibiting insertion of the pedicle screw.
Emergence of Chirality in an Optically Active Two-Dimensional Crystal with a Spiral Surface Pattern.

Some one-dimensional (1D) crystals containing a screw dislocation along their longer axis exhibit a helical twist due to lattice strain. These chiral structures have been thoroughly investigated by using transmission electron microscopy. However, whether two-dimensional (2D) crystals with a spiral surface pattern, presumably containing a screw dislocation, are structurally chiral remains unclear because their internal structures are not visible.
