U-shaped Kirschner wire transfixation is proposed as an effective treatment for Skier's thumb, a type of injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb. This study compared the traditional Kirschner wire fixation method with the U-shaped Kirschner wire method for treating small bone fragments with displacement, rotation, or instability in skier's fractures.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a vascular disease of unknown etiology and can be categorized mainly into two types: non-traumatic and traumatic ONFH. Thus, understanding osteogenic–angiogenic coupling is of prime importance in finding a solution for the treatment of ONFH. Hydrogels are biomaterials that are similar to the extracellular matrix (ECM). As they are able to mimic...

Background and Objectives: The existing recommendations for female pelvic magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging MRI (FP-SWI) have not been optimized to capture the disease characteristics of the female pelvis. Therefore, it is imperative to explore acquisition parameters before conducting larger-scale studies. To establish optimized flip angle (FA) for acquiring FP-SWI to improve the image qual...
