Myringoplasty is most commonly used to treat tympanic membrane (TM) perforation. Clinical data have shown that unexplained high-frequency (above 3 kHz) hearing loss often occurs after myringoplasty. In this paper, a finite element (FE) model of the partial external and middle ear (ME) of the human ear, which considers the actual perforation and TM implants, is developed to reveal the mechanical mechanism of high-frequency hearing loss after implantation of temporalis fascia and cartilage commonly used in myringoplasty.

Introduction: Despite the biomechanical advantages of the Femoral Neck System (FNS), improvements in postoperative complication rates have not been significant. This study evaluated the effects of different FNS positions on the biomechanical stability of Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures (FNFs) using finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: Pauwels type III FNF models fixed with different FNS positions were constructed using various bolt lengths, bolt positions, and axis-bolt angles.

Objective: Quality of life (QoL) and the degree of postoperative morbidity is an important aspect for patients suffering from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which can be affected by several aspects of cancer treatment and especially the extent of surgical therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome and QoL in patients in relation to different types of neck dissection (ND) for OSCC.
Materials And Methods: In this observational single center cohort study, OSCC patients who underwent primary resection and ND between 2017 and 2022 were included and assessed for postoperative complications.

A surgeon peers downward into a body cavity when operating. Holding this position for hours across weeks, months, and years may lead to neck pain and musculoskeletal disorders. We were inspired by ungulates such as giraffes and horses, which use dorsal-ventral flexion to graze for 9-14 h per day without perceivable neck pain.
