Article Abstract
Titanium miniplates, though biocompatible, often require removal due to infections (3-18%), primarily from Staphylococcus aureus. Biofilms, which resist antibiotics, drive persistent infections. We analyzed 10 infected miniplates via SEM, revealing dense polymicrobial biofilms, especially near screw holes. These structured microbial communities underscore the need for biofilm-targeted treatments to improve outcomes.

Comparative clinical efficacy of nickel-titanium shape memory staples versus miniplate for Bartoníček-Rammelt type III and IV posterior malleolar fractures. A retrospective analysis of 47 consecutive patients treated between January 2022 and June 2024 documented operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, healing time, complications, postoperative fracture gap distance (mm), and articular surface step-off (mm) at the ankle joint. Ankle function was assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), and range of motion measurements at 3, 6, 12, and 14 months.

Mandibular fractures, a common subset of maxillofacial trauma, have significant functional, esthetic, and psychological implications. Hence, 34 patients were divided into two groups: Group A (3D miniplates) and Group B (conventional miniplates). Results showed that both plating systems provided comparable outcomes in terms of occlusal correction, fracture stability, and radiographic healing by the third postoperative month, with no statistically significant differences.

Introduction And Importance: Complex foot injuries from high-velocity trauma pose significant challenges due to combined bony and soft tissue damage. Early and comprehensive reconstruction using an orthoplastic approach is critical for limb salvage and achieving functional recovery.
Presentation Of Case: A 22-year-old male sustained a severe crush injury to the right foot following a motor vehicle accident.

This case series describes the use of cortical allografts, cancellous allografts with and without recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB, and titanium locking plates for repair of critical-sized defects in 4 mandibles from 3 canine patients. Two mandibles were repaired after oncologic surgery and 2 mandibles were reconstructed due to chronic nonunion fractures. Various techniques were utilized for maintenance of the occlusion intraoperatively.
