The aim of this study was to compare the stability and clinical outcomes between the two miniplates and sagittal split plate (SSOP) in angle fracture fixation. Thirty-eight patients with a mandibular angle fracture were selected and divided randomly into two groups. Intervention was treated with SSOP, and the control group was treated with conventional two miniplates. Clinical evaluation included occlusion, edema, nerve affection, wound dehiscence and mouth opening. Radiographic parameters included the measurement of inter-ramus distance, inter-mental distance and bone density. All clinical parameters were evaluated at one week, one month and three months intervals. Radiographic parameters were evaluated immediately postoperative, and after three months. Results showed that SSOP had less postoperative complications (10.50%) than the two miniplates (31.60%). It can be concluded that both methods offered high performance in management of mandibular angle fractures. However, SSOP group had a significantly shorter operating time, increased bone density and less edema. : NCT03839368.

Background: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare disease characterized by osteolysis and lymphatic malformations. GSD involving the spine is exceptionally rare and lacks a standard cure. The aim of this article was to report a case of GSD with scoliosis treated via corrective surgery and medication.

Background: Patellar fractures present challenges in treatment, with traditional methods often leading to complications such as loss of reduction and implant failure. This study aimed to compare a novel suture fixation technique with the traditional tension band method using finite element analysis.
Methods: CT images of a healthy 35-year-old male were used to construct 3D patellar models.

Background: The lateral locking plate for the proximal humerus is currently the most commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of elderly proximal humeral comminuted fractures. Previous studies have found that the rate of postoperative complications in patients of proximal humerus fractures with medial column involvement is relatively high. Through biomechanical methods, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the conventional lateral locking plate fixation along with the addition of the metacarpal supporting plate on the medial column in the treatment for proximal humeral fractures involving the medial column.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties of Reciproc, Reciproc Blue, One RECI, and R-Motion, specifically focusing on their flexibility and buckling resistance; and to assess their torsional fatigue behavior under two different reciprocation angles (150°/30° or 70°/30°).
Methods: A total of 160 instruments (40 per brand) were tested. Flexion and buckling tests were conducted using a Universal testing machine (DL 200MF) was used.

Using an interatomic potential that can capture the tetrahedral configuration of water molecules (HO) in ice without the need to explicitly track the motion of the O and H atoms, coarse-grained (CG) atomistic simulations are performed here to characterize the structures, energy, cohesive strengths, and fracture resistance of the grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline ice resulting from water freezing. Taking the symmetric tilt grain boundaries (STGBs) with a tilting axis of ⟨0001⟩ as an example, several main findings from our simulations are (i) the GB energy, , exhibits a strong dependence on the GB misorientation angle, θ. The classical Read-Shockley model only predicts the - θ relation reasonably well when θ < 20° or θ > 45° but fails when 20° < θ < 45°; (ii) two "valleys" appear in the -θ landscape.
