The aim of the present randomized study was to radiographically evaluate the early marginal bone remodeling (EMBR) around one-stage implants with a collar surface that is laser-microtextured (LM), placed with the mirograp/interface at different levels relative to the bone crest, and to clinically evaluate the influence of keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) on outcomes. Thirty partially edentulous patients were selected to each receive at least two one-stage implants with LM collars placed at different depth levels in the mandible and maxilla: one implant placed at an equicrestal level (E group) and one implant placed at a supracrestal level (SP group). Rank-based analysis of variance test was used for statistical comparison between groups. Before loading, the E and SP groups showed a mean marginal bone loss of 0.03 ± 0.04 mm and 0.02 ± 0.03 mm, respectively, without a statistically significant difference (P > .05) between the groups. Moreover, no statistically significant correlation between EMBR and the amount of KTT was found (P > .05). Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that neither the vertical position of the microgap/interface of one-stage implants with an LM surface nor the thickness of keratinized tissue around the implant site influences the amount of EMBR.

Introduction: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a highly effective procedure for the management of selected advanced heart failure patients, prolonging patient life and improving quality. Additional cardiac pathologies, especially valvular regurgitation or coronary heart disease, are common in LVAD recipients, whereas reports on the surgical management of heart failure combined with aortic disease are rare.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 60-year-old patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and end-stage heart failure.

Purpose: Performing a one-stage periarticular osteotomy in conjunction with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) constitutes a technically complex procedure. In such demanding cases, a personalized approach utilizing patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) may serve as an advantageous option to achieve optimal precision in bone cuts, thereby enhancing both clinical and radiological postoperative outcomes.
Methods: We present a case report of a 22-year-old man with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) resulting in knee osteoarthritis with complex femoral deformity and restricted (passive at 30-120° and active at 80-120°) range of movement (ROM).

Single-stage dental implantation in the aesthetic zone of the upper jaw is currently a promising method for restoring the dentition, but it requires a highly qualified dental surgeon. The success of treatment depends on careful planning, taking into account the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the aesthetic zone of patients and the use of modern diagnostic methods, as well as strict adherence to treatment protocols. Analysis of modern scientific literature shows that long-term clinical studies are needed to determine optimal protocols, improve them and evaluate the long-term results of single-stage dental implantation in the frontal zone of the upper jaw.

Knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical procedure that significantly improves the quality of life for patients with advanced knee joint diseases. However, many multidisciplinary healthcare professionals lack a clear understanding of the types and subtypes of knee arthroplasty, which is essential for effective perioperative care and rehabilitation planning. This narrative review categorises knee arthroplasty into three main types: total knee arthroplasty, partial knee arthroplasty, and revision knee arthroplasty.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of one-stage posterior debridement with bone grafting, fusion, and internal fixation in the treatment of Brucellosis Spondylitis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 45 patients (30 males and 15 females) with lumbar Brucellosis Spondylitis who met the inclusion criteria and were treated at the Department of Spinal Orthopedics, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between January 2010 and February 2025.Patients ranged in age from 30 to 74 years (mean 52.
