Article Abstract
Calvarial reconstruction of complex frontal bone defects after head trauma surgery is challenging, especially when it coexists with an absence of eyebrow arch and supraorbital wall. Due to various reasons, the patient's bone flap could not be used. Common alternative materials include polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium. Careful and detailed planning is required to maximize functional and aesthetic reconstruction, thereby benefiting the patient. We present a case of a 36-year-old man who had multiple frontal bone defects after multiple operations for craniofacial fractures performed with reconstruction surgery using a PEEK implant successfully. With a follow-up for 2 years, the patient was satisfied with the long-term aesthetic effect without any consequences such as surrounding tissue infection or implant displacement. The authors believe that the PEEK implant has great potential for calvarial reconstruction due to its incredible strength, durability, and inertness.

A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X-ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D. A complete description of every preserved cranial bone is here produced, with special attention given to the braincase.

Objective: Multiple studies have demonstrated an increased risk of lower extremity injuries for females in frontal crashes. This study aimed to investigate whether sex-based anatomical differences, as measured on computed tomography (CT) scans of the abdomen and pelvis, contribute to lower extremity injury risk.
Methods: The Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) database (2017-2023) was queried for frontal collisions.

Background: The incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fragility fractures is increasing due to demographic changes. Therefore, early diagnosis is desirable in order to preserve bone health and prevent low-trauma fractures. Opportunistic screening for osteoporosis by frequently performed computed tomography scans could offer a potential solution.
