Article Abstract
Post-mortem characterisation is a pivotal tool to trace back to the origin of structural failures in modern engineering analyses. This work compared both the crack propagation and rupture roughness profiles based on areal parameters for total fracture area. Notched and smooth samples made of weather-resistant structural steel (10HNAP), popular S355J2 structural steel and aluminium alloy AW-2017A under bending, torsion and combined bending-torsion were investigated. After the fatigue tests, fatigue fractures were measured with an optical profilometer, and the relevant surface parameters were critically compared. The results showed a great impact of the loading scenario on both the local profiles and total fracture areas. Both approaches (local and total fracture zones) for specimens with different geometries were investigated. For all specimens, measured texture parameters decreased in the following order: total area, rupture area and propagation area.

Aims: We sought to explore staff experience of a paediatric randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing operative fixation and nonoperative treatment for displaced medial epicondyle fractures.
Methods: A total of 20 staff (eight surgeons and 12 research delivery staff) recruiting to the RCT in 18 NHS Trusts across the UK took part in a telephone/online qualitative interview. Interviews were informed by Heideggerian Phenomenology and thematic analysis.

Background: Individuals who have had total joint arthroplasty (TJA) are subject to lifelong exposure to metal-based implants. The relationship between chronic exposure to metal-based implants and systemic effects on the brain remains unclear. We aimed to determine the association between TJA and the subsequent long-term risk of dementia.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with third-generation alumina ceramic heads on highly cross-linked polyethylene liners (HXLPE) has demonstrated excellent outcomes in young patients. However, concerns of ceramic head fracture, squeaking, stripe wear, and limited sizing led to the development of a fourth-generation ceramic head. The purpose of our study was to report on survivorship, wear characteristics, and patient-reported outcomes of THA with a fourth-generation 32-mm ceramic femoral head and HXLPE liner in patients 50 years or younger at 10-year minimum follow-up.

Background: Pelvic and acetabular fractures, often resulting from high-impact trauma, pose significant challenges due to extensive blood loss and complex surgical procedures. Tranexamic acid (TXA), widely used in elective orthopedic surgeries, offers a potential strategy for managing blood loss. However, its efficacy and safety in pelvic-acetabular trauma surgeries have shown inconsistent results in prior studies.

Unlabelled: REMS-BMD by radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry is primarily determined by a patient's BMI, age, and sex. Only about 2.8% of the changes in femoral neck REMS-BMD can be attributed to replacement of the total hip with metal implants.
