Article Abstract
Ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI techniques can be used to image the concentration of water in bones. Particularly, quantitative MRI imaging of collagen-bound water concentration () and pore water concentration () in cortical bone have been shown as potential biomarkers for bone fracture risk. To investigate the effect of and on the evaluation of bone mechanical properties, MRI-based finite element models of cadaver radii were generated with tissue material properties derived from 3 D maps of and measurements. Three-point bending tests were simulated by means of the finite element method to predict bending properties of the bone and the results were compared with those from direct mechanical testing. The study results demonstrate that these MRI-derived measures of and improve the prediction of bone mechanical properties in cadaver radii and have the potential to be useful in assessing patient-specific bone fragility risk.

Objective: Due to its inherent high instability, the selection of fixation strategies for unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures remains a controversial challenge in the field of traumatic orthopedics. This study focuses on unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures. By applying three different fixation methods, it aims to explore their biomechanical properties and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical fixation protocols.

The screw-retained implant-supported crown is a durable, aesthetic restoration, but debonding between the crown and abutment remains a challenge to survivability. The purpose of this work was to devise an abutment shape that can be embedded into the crown while the crown is being additively manufactured. The result was a mechanically retained, no-adhesive abutment and crown unit that is mounted to the implant fixture.

Background: A modified pull-through approach represents a promising treatment strategy to access tumors in the posterior oral cavity. The design of the wedge osteotomy plays a key role in preserving postoperative mechanical stability while enabling surgical access. However, the optimal osteotomy design to reduce fracture risk remains unclear.

Colposcopy is an important method for early clinical cervical cancer screening, but the traditional vaginal dilator has problems such as discomfort in use and cumbersome operation. For this reason, this study aims to design an intelligent vaginal dilatation system to automate colposcopy and enhance patient comfort.

This study aimed to evaluate the near-cortical over-drilling technique on the mechanical behaviour of bone-plate constructs in a rabbit transverse femoral fracture. In vitro biomechanical testing and finite element (FE) models were used for analyses. Rabbits' bones (n = 14) were divided into two groups: G1 - without near-cortical over-drilling, and G2 - with near-cortical over-drilling.
