Objective: To compare the partially threaded versus fully threaded cannulated screw fixation methods in stable neck of femur fracture in terms of early functional outcomes in patients of age 60 and above.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Orthopedic Unit-II, Mayo Hospital Lahore, Pakistan from July 2021 to July 2022. A total of 82 (41 in each group) patients of both genders, aged 60 or above were included. All patients had garden Type-I or II and were mobile before they fractured the femoral neck were included. In Group-A, cannulated screw fixation (cancellous screws 6 mm) was done using partially threaded screws while fully threaded screws (cancellous screws 6 mm) were used in Group-B. Patients were followed up at six weeks, three months and six months interval for "Radiographic Union Scale for Hip (RUSH)" and "Harris Hip score".
Results: In a total of 82 (41 in each group) patients, 66 (80.5%) we male. At 6 week (p=0540) and 3 month (p=0.653) postoperatively, no significant differences were seen between groups for Hip Harris score. However, at 6 month, functional outcome of Group-B patients was significantly better as compared to Group-A (p=0.038). Mean RUSH score in Group-A and in Group-B at 6 month postoperative was 25.45±2.73 and 30.52±2.39 (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Fully threaded cannulated screw fixation is better in treating undisplaced neck of femur fracture as compared to partially threaded cannulated screw fixation in terms of early functional outcomes among the age group of 60 years and above. NCT05587660.

Introduction: Isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture is rare in pediatric population. To our knowledge, there is no established guideline to treat this rare injury in children. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies using screw fixation for such injuries, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to prevent long-term complications.

Objective: Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are a common orthopedic type, and there are many treatment methods for it, and cannulated screw internal fixation is currently one of the main treatment methods. The choice of fully threaded cannulated screw (FCS) or partially threaded cannulated screw (PCS) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the outcomes of FCS and PCS in the treatment of FNF.

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are usually treated with rigid angle-stable plates or nails. As an alternative, semi-rigid, minimally invasive systems have been developed for supportive fixation. A new system uses this principle with 2.

Article Synopsis
- - Ankylosaurs were heavily armored dinosaurs known from abundant fossils in the Cretaceous period across North and South America, featuring large bony structures called osteoderms.
- - The study focuses on small ossicles, which are less understood, investigating their formation via two possible processes: ossification of connective tissue or differentiation of new fibers followed by mineralization.
- - Using advanced imaging techniques, the research describes the structure of these ossicles, highlighting a thin external mineralized layer and a thick collagen-based basal plate organized in two distinct systems of fiber bundles.
Impact of Implant Surface and Smoking on Peri-Implant Human Bone: What we Learned from The Last 20 Years?

The present review summarizes the findings from human histological studies conducted over the past 20 years at the University of Guarulhos, Brazil, examining the impact of various implant surface topographies and smoking on peri-implant bone response. Seven different implant surfaces were evaluated in 90 partially or completely edentulous individuals using a total of 123 micro-implants. Histometric parameters, including bone-implant contact (BIC%), bone area within the threads (BA%), and bone density (BD), were assessed after an 8-week healing period.
