Cast fixation is a general clinical skill used for the treatment of fractures. However, it may cause many complications due to careless treatment procedures. Currently, swathing a cast for a patient can only be determined by a doctors’ experien...
In the real condition, the small sensor found it difficult to detect the position of the pressure sore because of casting displacement clinically. The large sensor will detect the incorrect pressure value due to wrinkles without close to arm. Hence,...
(1) Background: We aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with fractures of the distal forearm and to assess if HRQoL was associated with fracture classification; (2) Methods: We followed up on 432 patients (185 girl...
In the healthcare system, lower leg fractures remain relevant, incurring costs related to surgical treatment, hospitalization, and rehabilitation. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the individual case and its severity. Casting as a post...
Tibial fractures in beef cattle are a significant clinical challenge, particularly in animals weighing over 300 kg, where surgical treatment is often discouraged due to poor prognosis. This study evaluated the use of full limb double transfixation pi...
Introduction: Patients with orthopedic injuries often require cast immobilization therapy using casts. Driving with a cast on the right lower limb restricts many things. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with driving capacity aft...
Background: This paper aims to investigate the effect of short-term cast immobilization on the prognosis of ankle fractures. Methods: A total of 60 patients who underwent ankle fracture surgery in our hospital from September 2021 to September 2022 we...
Lateral humeral condyle fractures are frequently seen in pediatric patients and have a high risk of unfavorable outcomes. A fall on the outstretched arm with supination of the forearm is the most common trauma mechanism. A physical examination combin...
Colony foundation and early growth is a critical period in the life-cycle of a termite colony, as the initial family unit is resource limited. One such resource is nitrogen, which is essential for initial colony growth. This study examined the whole-...

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness and complications of different treatment modalities for elderly patients with distal radius fracture (DRF). Methods: We performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized clinical tri...
Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) in pediatric patients can be fixed in various ways. We analyzed the records of 77 pediatric patients (124 SMOs) aged ≤16 years. In 56 patients (96 SMOs), K-wires were used to stabilize SMOs (WF group), while 21 patie...
The rapid development towards automated construction has been witnessed in recent years mainly due to the growing shortage of skilled labor. Against that backdrop, an accelerated method, with the aid of robotic cranes, is emerging in China to speed u...
Aerogel objects inspired by plant cell wall components and structures were fabricated using extrusion-based 3D printing at cryogenic temperatures. The printing process combines 3D printing with the alignment of rod-shaped nanoparticles through the fr...
Background: Patients with nonunion experience pain, mobility problems, and physical activity limitations; require long-term, costly treatment; and cannot resume work. Some authors recommend the use of pharmaceutical agents as an adjunct therapy in fr...
This case report reviews the presentation and treatment of a 68-year-old diabetic woman with severe hallux abducto valgus deformity and progressively worsening pain and joint stiffness. The patient had a history of two distinct episodes of postoperat...
Whole-organ plastic resin casting is a very useful method for preserving rare pathological specimens for forensic/anatomical studies and for teaching/research purposes. Many techniques have been proposed over time, but most of them use special non-co...
Background/Objectives: Transphyseal fracture of the distal humerus (TFDH) is a rare but clinically important pediatric elbow injury that predominantly affects children under 3 years of age. Due to the radiolucent nature of the cartilaginous distal hu...
Depth estimation is an ill-posed problem; objects of different shapes or dimensions, even if at different distances, may project to the same image on the retina. Our brain uses several cues for depth estimation, including monocular cues such as motio...
The Colombian Caribbean dual-purpose livestock system (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) is an important source of milk and beef, yet molecular characterization of trait-associated markers remains limited. This study characterized allele and genotype f...
Background and objectives: Pediatric tibial shaft fractures often have satisfactory outcomes after closed reduction and casting. However, surgical treatment may be required in unstable or open fractures. Titanium elastic nails (TENs) are a good optio...
In this work, severe plastic deformation (SPD) of the newly designed Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta-Fe-O GUM metal was successfully conducted at room temperature using high speed high pressure torsion (HSHPT) followed by cold rolling (CR) to exploit the suitability of...
Intramedullary nails (INs) have significant advantages in rigid fracture fixation. Due to the stress shielding effect and lack of biological activity, traditional metal INs often lead to delay union or nonunion fracture healing. Undegradable metals a...
Charcot’s neuroarthropathy complicated by calcaneal osteomyelitis can be difficult to treat. Various surgical techniques describe how to manage these conditions. Eggshell-type debridement with application of antibiotic-impregnated bone substitute is...
Background and Clinical Significance: Talar body fractures are very rare injuries, and their occurrence alongside ipsilateral fractures is even more uncommon. We present a case of a 40-year-old male who sustained a talar body fracture combined with a...
Background and Clinical Significance: Scaphoid fractures and nonunion are uncommon in skeletally immature patients. Pediatric nonunion most often follows a missed or delayed diagnosis or failure of conservative treatment. Inferior-pole nonunion is pa...
Biodegradable magnesium-based composites show potential application in orthopedic implants, with excellent biocompatibility, low density, and biodegradable characteristics inside the human body. In this study, the stir casting procedure was employed...
Pedicle screw fixation (PSF) demands rigorous training to mitigate the risk of severe neurovascular complications arising from screw misplacement. This paper introduces a patient-specific phantom designed for PSF training, extending a portion of the...
Magnesium alloys are attractive candidates for use as temporary fixation devices in osteosynthesis because they have a density and Young’s modulus similar to those of cortical bone. One of the main requirements for biodegradable implants is its...
Light-transmitting cementitious composites integrate daylighting functionality directly into the building envelope, potentially reducing dependence on artificial lighting and its associated operational energy demand and environmental impacts. Such mu...
Neuroanatomy laboratory training is crucial for the education of neurosurgery residents and medical students. Since the brain is a complex and three-dimensional structure, it is challenging to understand the anatomical relationship of the cortex, int...
The major problem in bone tissue engineering is the development of scaffolds which can simultaneously meet the requirements of porous structure, as well as have the ability to guide the regeneration of damaged tissue by biological fixation. Composite...
