Background: Studies reported contradictory results for the prognostic significance of a pathological fracture in osteosarcoma patients. The aim of this study is to report the outcomes for a cohort of patients with osteosarcoma who presented with and without pathological fractures and to identify the prognostic importance of pathological fracture in predicting outcomes and influences on survival.
Methods: Data of patients with osteosarcoma were retrospectively reviewed.

From the Department of Neurology, Chia-Yi Yang-Ming Hospital, Taiwan.
We report a rare case that developed orbital myositis before appearance of zoster rashes. A 54 year-old man came to our hospital with a 4-day history of left orbital shooting pain extending to left temporal area. Neurological examinations demonstrated mild left proptosis and hyperemic conjunctiva without ophthalmoplegia.

I-Shou University, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Chia-Yi Yang-Ming Hospital, Taiwan, ROC.
Study Design: An in vitro biomechanical study of the stabilizing effects of the body augmenter and posterior instrumentation on experimental thoracolumbar fractures with vertebral defects.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of the body augmenter and instrumentation on the stability of the spine-device construct.
Summary Of Background Data: Posterior instrumentations alone are widely used to accomplish spinal reduction and provide stability for an injured spine; however, implant failure rates have been reported to be approximately 20%.
