Factors Affecting Implant Failure in Fracture of the Shaft of Femur
17 cases of implant failure of fracture of shaft of femur were studied. All cases were young adults less than 40 years of age. 15 were males. 16 of 17 cases sustained their initial injury in road - traffic accidents.

Clinical outcomes following treatment of extracapsular hip fractures with long compared with short cephalomedullary nails. [PDF]
AIMS: The use of cephalomedullary nails for the fixation of extracapsular hip fractures has increased in recent years, but high-quality evidence to guide surgical decision-making between long and short cephalomedullary nails is lacking.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Do Surgeons Agree on Severity and Origin of Complications in Bone-lengthening Nails? An Inter- and Intra-rater Reliability Study [PDF]
Background: Bone-lengthening nails result in various complications with different severity and origin. However, no universal reporting systemfor complications has been agreed upon, making it difficult to compare different nail designs and patient ...
