Twenty-eight patients underwent anterior iliac crest reconstruction after the harvesting of autogenous tricortical graft. The anterior iliac crest was reconstructed using the resected rib from the thoracoabdominal approach. The authors evaluated graft site pain and residual deformity, radiographic evidence of rib incorporation, and the incidence of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury. There were no reports of graft site pain greater than "acceptable" levels, requiring nonnarcotic analgesics on an intermittent basis and not interfering with activities of daily living. Four lateral femoral cutaneous nerve neuropraxias were recorded, none of clinical significance. The authors advocate the use of autogenous tricortical anterior iliac crest bone graft when performing reconstructive spinal surgery, followed by reconstruction of the iliac crest with the resected rib from the surgical approach.

Basidiobolomycosis, a rare fungal infection seen in immunocompetent patients, is a chronic granulomatous infection affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is caused by the fungus . Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis usually has non-specific clinical manifestations, and its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine what demographic and anatomical variables affect successful placement of a superior medullary ramus screw, and how they affect the maximal diameter of that screw.
Methods: Design: Prognostic Level IV SETTING: Level I Trauma Center Patients/Participants: Two hundred consecutive patients underwent computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis. We included those patients aged 18 and older without osseous injury or abnormalities precluding measurement.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and define the indications for a one-stage mandibular reconstruction technique that combines iliac bone flaps with immediate implant-based dentures, and to assess both the accuracy of surgical planning and the long-term success of the procedure.
Methods: A total of ten patients underwent the procedure at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between June 2020 and August 2023. The preoperative biopsy pathology of all the patients confirmed a benign tumor.

The iliotibial band originates from the iliac crest and the hip joint capsule, extending along the entire lateral surface until it inserts onto tuberculum anterolateralis tibiae on the anterolateral tibia. It acts as an agonist of the anterior cruciate ligament. In short, the iliotibial band primarily contributes to the lateral stabilization of the knee joint.

Article Synopsis
- Polymeric materials from renewable sources are becoming popular alternatives to petroleum-based polymers, particularly for 3D printing techniques like Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).
- Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs), especially poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), have great potential but face challenges due to their high crystallinity and low thermal stability.
- Blending PHB with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in different ratios improves the printability of these materials, with a 50:50 blend showing better speed and accuracy in 3D printing complex structures.
