Wide-awake Anesthesia No Tourniquet Trapeziometacarpal Joint Prosthesis Implantation
Summary: Wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) hand surgery is a rapidly growing in popularity. WALANT has been used by hand surgeons when operating on bones, tendons, ligaments, nerve entrapments. We offer a case report of the first case in

TCSloT: Text Guided 3D Context and Slope Aware Triple Network for Dental Implant Position Prediction [PDF]
In implant prosthesis treatment, the surgical guide of implant is used to ensure accurate implantation. However, such design heavily relies on the manual location of the implant position. When deep neural network has been proposed to assist the dentist in locating the implant position, most of them take a single slice as input, which do not fully ...

Enterococcal periprosthetic joint infection: clinical and microbiological findings from an 8-year retrospective cohort study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Treatment of enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is challenging due to non-standardized management strategies and lack of biofilm-active antibiotics. The optimal surgical and antimicrobial therapy are unknown.

Fracture simulation for zirconia toughened alumina microstructure [PDF]
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe finite element modelling for fracture and fatigue behaviour of zirconia toughened alumina microstructures. Design/methodology/approach - A two-dimensional finite element model is developed with an actual $Al{_2}O{_3}$ - 10 vol% $ZrO{_2}$ microstructure. A bilinear, time-independent cohesive zone law is
