Article Abstract
Introduction: Various methods are deployed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to control the osteotomised/ fractured bony segments intraoperatively till the time a stable fixation in the desired position is achieved. Few of these include the use of bone holding crocodile forceps, towel clips, reduction forceps, wires, digital control (Thota and Mitchell in Br J Orthod 26(4):325, 1999). In our technique, we present the use of an IMF screw to manipulate bony segments intraoperatively.
Materials And Methods: We used this novel technique in a series of 12 patients. An IMF screw was fixed in the greatest bulk of the bony fragment so as to control it and hold it in the desired position in various surgical procedures.
Conclusion: This technique was found to be minimally invasive and easy to perform to achieve a good hold and control of the bony segments.

Purpose: Phocomelia is an intercalary segmental dysplasia of the upper limb, a distinct entity from longitudinal deficiencies. Nearly 20 years ago, more severely dysplastic limbs initially thought to be phocomelia were able to be reclassified as more severe forms of longitudinal dysplasia. This study sought to evaluate current phocomelia cases to identify if these represented true phocomelia.

Background And Objective: Chronic osteomyelitis of long diaphyseal bones often results in extensive structural bone defects following debridement. Traditional approaches such as cancellous bone grafting, fibular transplantation, the classical Masquelet technique, and the Ilizarov method each have inherent limitations when used alone, particularly for defects exceeding 10 cm. This study aimed to evaluate a modified Masquelet technique, in which the induced membrane cavity is reconstructed using vascularized fibular grafts, for the management of ultra-long segmental bone defects.

Purpose: Through the measurement of Graf's alpha (α) angle, the Graf method uses two-dimensional ultrasound (US) to diagnose developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants. However, this unidimensional index cannot fully reflect anatomic shape features and variations of iliac wing and bony acetabular roof (IW-AR) coronal outlines that may influence DDH. This study aimed to analyze the shapes of IW-AR outlines by revealing their mean shape, possible shape variations, and the impact of these variations on the α angle variability.

Fungal pseudoaneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare, life-threatening complications of invasive fungal sinusitis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. These pseudoaneurysms typically occur in the cavernous segment due to its proximity to the sphenoid sinus and often present with massive epistaxis or neurological deficits. The supraclinoid ICA segment is a rare location for these aneurysms and carries risks of both intracranial and sinonasal hemorrhage.

Quantitative means of characterizing glenoid bone loss (GBL) remain a growing field of interest. Here, a 3D volumetric GBL estimation is compared against standard 2D methods for GBL computation to elucidate the effect of morphological differences in glenoid anatomy as a culprit for mis-estimating GBL. Twenty-two shoulder MRIs from healthy participants (19 ± 0.
