The purpose of this study is to predict the load-bearing capacity (LBC) of fracture specimens containing V-notched friction-stir welded (FSWed) joints of AA7075-Cu and AA7075-AA6061 materials and subjected to mode I loading conditions. Due to the resulting elastic-plastic behavior and the corresponding development of significant plastic deformations, the fracture analysis of the FSWed alloys requires elastic-plastic fracture criteria, which are complex and time-consuming. Thus, in this study, the equivalent material concept (EMC) is applied, equating the actual AA7075-AA6061 and AA7075-Cu materials to equivalent virtual brittle materials. Then, two brittle fracture criteria, the maximum tangential stress (MTS) and mean stress (MS), are utilized to estimate the LBC of the V-notched FSWed parts. The comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions reveals that both fracture criteria, in combination with EMC, can accurately predict the LBC in the analyzed components.

Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee.

Orthopadie (Heidelb)

January 2025

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St. SW, 55905, Rochester, MN, USA.

Subchondral insufficiency fractures of the knee (SIFK) are a relatively common cause of knee pain, particularly in middle-aged and older adults. The SIFK is a type of stress fracture that occurs when excessive and repetitive or supraphysiologic loads are applied to subchondral bone [1]. Historically, this type of fracture was termed spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK) until advances in MRI identified underlying fractures as well as meniscal deficiency as likely attributable etiologies.

Developing a Risk Score for Predicting Multiple Revision Surgeries in Patients With Fracture-Related Infections.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

January 2025

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Yeager, Rutz, Strother, Spitler, and Johnson), and the Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Gross, Benson, and Carter).

Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.
