Case: A 20-year-old pregnant female presented with an ulna fracture after a crush and bending type injury. Anatomic reduction of her ulna was not possible due to plastic deformation of the radius, requiring a corrective osteotomy of the radius. She is now 16 months out from surgery with full painless range of motion and radiographic union.
Conclusion: Plastic deformation of forearm fractures in adults is a rare phenomenon. It is possible that the patient's pregnancy contributed to her injury. Patients with uncommon fracture morphology can make operative intervention more complicated and necessitate additional procedures to achieve optimal motion and alignment.

Background: Alveolar molding plate treatment (AMPT) plays a critical role in preparing neonates with cleft lip and palate (CLP) for the first reconstruction surgery (cleft lip repair). However, determining the number of adjustments to AMPT in near-normalizing cleft deformity prior to surgery is a challenging task, often affecting the treatment duration. This study explores the use of machine learning in predicting treatment duration based on three-dimensional (3D) assessments of the pre-treatment maxillary cleft deformity as part of individualized treatment planning.

Background: Closure of soft tissue defects following surgical repair of neonatal myelomeningocele requires prompt and well-justified decisions regarding the reconstruction method if the defects are to be closed within the first two days of life. For larger defects, flap reconstruction is often necessary. The aim of the study was to examine reconstruction methods for closing soft tissue defects following surgery for myelomeningocele, as well as complications and the need for reoperation.

Nanostructured cubic boron nitride (NS-cBN) has attracted significant attention due to its high hardness and excellent thermal stability, yet a systematic strategy to balance strength and toughness through atomically structural design remains elusive. Here, we integrate plasticity theory with large-scale atomistic simulations to elucidate the size-dependent roles of internal defects, i.e.

Objective: Exploring the clinical effects of the method using elevating the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) and suturing it with the orbital septum and orbital fat as a whole for fixation to correct lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients who underwent transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. The method involved elevating the suborbicularis oculi fat and suturing it with the orbital septum and orbital fat as a whole for fixation to correct lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities, and follow-up to evaluate the correction of eyelid bags, tear troughs, and mid-face ptosis, as well as patient satisfaction.
Craniosynostosis (CS), the premature fusion of 1 or more cranial sutures, can present with coexisting deformation plagiocephaly or brachiocephaly. While surgical correction is the standard for CS, the management of cases with concurrent positional head shape deformities remains undefined. This study aims to describe clinical outcomes in this subset of patients and evaluate the role of adjunct orthotic therapy in their management.
