Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a surgical procedure to treat mandibular malpositions. However, this surgery is associated with a risk of recurrence. Osteosynthesis techniques may be the cause of early recurrences. This study aims to demonstrate the efficiency and stability of osteosynthesis with two bicortical screws placed with a transjugal approach. We included patients who benefited from a BSSO alone, between May 2020 and August 2021. We performed the osteosynthesis using two bicortical screws placed with a transjugal approach. All the patients underwent lateral X-rays before the surgery, one week after and minimum six months after the intervention. These medical images allowed to study the mandibular movements during the intervention and the osteosynthesis stability. Twenty-five patients benefited from a BSSO alone. Patients obtained a satisfactory occlusal result. The results showed good stability of the two fragments, after surgery, during the studied period (average follow up of 8 months). Two bicortical screws osteosynthesis placed with a transjugal approach is a simple, effective and stable method for osteosynthesis in case of BSSO.

Injuries involving the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) vertebrae of the cervical spine present significant clinical challenges due to their complex anatomy and potential for severe neurological impairment. Traditional imaging methods often lack the detailed visualization required for precise surgical planning. This study aimed to develop high-resolution 3D models of the C1 and C2 vertebrae to perform a comprehensive morphometric analysis, identify gender differences, and assess bilateral symmetry to enhance surgical accuracy.

Objective: Combining oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) with posterior pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) has been proposed to reduce cage subsidence, especially in osteoporotic spines. Recently, anterolateral screw-rod fixation has gained interest as it allows direct pathology observation and avoids a posterior approach. However, controversies exist between anterolateral screw fixation systems and traditional PPSF due to variations in osteoporotic vertebral mineral density, screw fixation positions, and fixation methods (bicortical vs.

Objective: Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques are used to stabilize fractures of the anterior pelvic ring. Stabilization of the fracture facilitates early mobilization and rehabilitation, while percutaneous techniques reduce complications such as infection and bleeding.
Indications: Indicated for patients with non- or minimally displaced fractures of the anterior pelvic ring, or if fracture displacement can be reduced using minimally invasive techniques.

Purpose: Osteoporotic patients are at risk of peri-implant fractures after distal radius fixation. A unicortical screw in the proximal hole of the plate can theoretically decrease stress riser formation by eliminating the hole in the far bone cortex. This construct has been proposed in orthopedic literature to prevent peri-implant fractures but has not been tested in an osteoporotic distal radius model.

Introduction: Short implants are today a reliable, minimally invasive option for the rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla. However, maintaining marginal bone stability remains a crucial factor for long-term success, particularly in the case of short implants. The present multicenter prospective case-control study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of bone-level and tissue-level short implants in the posterior maxilla, focusing on implant survival and peri-implant marginal bone stability over 1 year of function.
