Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate three rigid, stable fixation methods for sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO), using finite element analysis. The hypothesis is that a customized miniplate presents better stress concentration and distribution.
Materials And Methods: A 3D model of a hemimandible was created, and a 10-mm-advancement SSRO was simulated and fixed as follows: 3-DCP group - one custom miniplate fixed by eight screws; 4-H2P group - two miniplates of four holes each, fixed by eight screws; and 6-H2P group - two miniplates of six holes each fixed by 12 screws. After a vertical loading of 100 N, the values for von Mises stress, modified von Mises stress, and maximum and minimum principal stresses were measured.
Results: The area of maximum principal stress was similar for the three groups - located in the upper miniplate, in the screw near the proximal segment osteotomy. The maximum von Mises stresses were 1580.4 MPa, 1005 MPa, and 977.56 MPa for the 3DCP, 4-H2P, and 6-H2P groups, respectively, showing an allowable displacement of 2.57 mm, 1.62 mm, and 1.52 mm for the 3DCP, 4-H2P, and 6-H2P groups, respectively.
Conclusion: The customized miniplate did not present better stress distribution than two commonly used types of fixation. Fixation with two straight miniplates, either with four or six holes, offers adequate resistance for 10 mm linear advancements.

Purpose We aimed to compare postoperative changes in intervertebral foraminal areas and the mechanisms of foraminal stenosis following fixation surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) with local kyphosis and instability, using three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 55 patients who underwent posterior cervical spinal fixation using pedicle screws. A total of 71 spinal levels (C2/3 to C7/T1) and 144 intervertebral foramina with anchor screws inserted in the upper and lower vertebrae were examined.

Biomechanical Evaluation of the Risk of Subtrochanteric Fracture After Femoral Neck Fixation in a Synthetic Model: The Femoral Neck System versus Cannulated Screws.

Objectives: The Femoral Neck System (FNS) is a fixed-angle side plate device approved for use in fixation of femoral neck fractures. The FNS perforates the lateral cortex of the subtrochanteric femur, which may increase the risk of postoperative subtrochanteric fractures compared with the inverted triangle cannulated screw (CS) construct. The purpose of this biomechanical study was to compare forces required to create subtrochanteric fractures in FNS and CS constructs in a synthetic bone biomechanical model.

Background: Coronoid fractures significantly impact elbow stability, yet limited biomechanical data exists comparing fixation methods for different fracture types. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical performance of threaded K-wire versus cortical screw fixation in O'Driscoll type 2 and 3 coronoid fractures.
Methods: Twenty-eight synthetic ulnar bones were divided into four groups (n = 7 each): Type 2 with K-wire fixation, Type 2 with screw fixation, Type 3 with K-wire fixation, and Type 3 with screw fixation.
