This paper describes an algorithm for contouring a medial surface from CT (computed tomography) data of a thin plate structure. Thin plate structures are common in mechanical structures such as car ...

Furthermore, comminution of the medial column of the humeral neck due to reduced bone mass further reduces the mechanical stability of implant fixation. The metaphyseal bone defect caused by fracture ...

In this work, we studied column formation by analyzing the 3D structure of cell clones in the embryonic and postnatal growth plates of mice, using a modified version of 3D MAPs (Rubin et al., 2021).

Additionally, while possible variability in column formation may have been discussed anecdotally, this is not reflected in the textbooks. As this is the first rigorous lineage tracing-based 3D study ...

Key takeaways: Surgeons should consider the 3D orientation of tibial plateau fractures prior to fixation. Size and orientation of the tibial plateau fracture dictate the location of the medial plate.

Previous observational studies and meta-analyses have recommended augmentation with a fibular allograft (FA) during the treatment of proximal humeral fractures with locking plates (LPs). However, ...

For medial clavicle fractures, several fixation methods of implants were reported. First, if the medial fracture could provide enough room for fixation of two or more screws, locking plates or ...

DynaNail Mini is the first internal fixation device designed specifically for medial column fusion. DynaNail Mini was introduced in 2019 with 60-100 mm lengths for use in subtalar fusion procedures.
