This article presents a real-time noninvasive method for detecting bone and bone marrow in laser osteotomy. This is the first optical coherence tomography (OCT) implementation as an online feedback system for laser osteotomy. A deep-learning model has been trained to identify tissue types during laser ablation with a test accuracy of 96.28 %. For the hole ablation experiments, the average maximum depth of perforation and volume loss was 0.216 mm and 0.077 mm, respectively. The contactless nature of OCT with the reported performance shows that it is becoming more feasible to utilize it as a real-time feedback system for laser osteotomy.

Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure for treating certain knee conditions. Proper execution of HTO can preserve joint function and delay or avoid the need for total knee replacement. This study compared different 3D printing techniques (fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, and direct metal laser sintering) and a navigation system for their suitability in assisting HTO surgeries.

Purpose: The use of computer-assisted virtual surgical planning (VSP) for craniosynostosis surgery is gaining increasing implementation in the clinics. However, accurately transferring the preoperative planning data to the operating room remains challenging. We introduced and investigated a fully digital workflow to perform fronto-orbital advancement (FOA) surgery using 3D-printed patient-specific implants (PSIs) and cold-ablation robot-guided laser osteotomy.

The CARLO (cold ablation robot-guided laser osteotome) is a compact device with integrated multiple sensory, steering and safety checking elements. A multi-center study was performed to evaluate the CARLO device for the linear part of midface osteotomy in 28 patients. Feasibility, success rate, safety, performance and experience of the surgeons were assessed and evaluated.

Background: While traditional metallic cerclage remains the primary method in clinical application, non-metallic cerclage systems have recently gained popularity due to low risks of soft tissue irritation and bone intrusion. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of a novel non-metallic suture-based cerclage in comparison to traditional metallic cerclage cables for fixation of periprosthetic femoral fractures.
Methods: An extended trochanteric osteotomy was performed on eight pairs of cadaveric femora, followed by reduction using either metallic cerclages (Group I) or the suture-based cerclage (Group II).

Objective: Dentofacial deformities (DFD) require orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery, and speech therapy for aesthetic and functional problems. This longitudinal study analyzed changes in masticatory function and three-dimensional (3D) facial soft tissue in patients with Class II and Class III DFD after orthognathic surgery. In addition, the study investigated the relationship between facial measurements, maximum bite force (MBF), and orofacial myofunctional status (OMS).
