Ulnar-sided carpometacarpal (CMC) joint fracture dislocations are relatively uncommon, frequently associated with fractures of the metacarpal base and/or hamate, and often sustained by young male individuals secondary to striking a hard object. The complexity of ulnar-sided CMC fracture dislocations necessitates careful restitution of anatomic alignment and joint congruency for mobility and stability. Miniaturization of the external fixation device has allowed application to the hand. Read More

Real materials have structural defects that are normally brought in during the processes of manufacturing and storage and often have a structure with abundant grains, as well as being subjected to multi-directional force conditions. The study of temperature's effect on plastic deformation mechanisms in polycrystalline materials bathed by a multi-axial force is still very rare and not clear. Therefore, we conducted very large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to study the deformation and fracture behaviour of nanostructured polycrystalline Ni under a pre-existing external tensile hydrostatic stress with various temperatures.

Cyclic deformation at low-stress amplitudes of a rare earth-containing magnesium alloy (Mg⁻Gd⁻Y⁻Zr) was investigated with emphasis on the responsible microstructural relationship between deformation mechanism and fatigue crack initiation. The results show that the microstructural deformation is extremely inhomogeneous at the low-stress amplitudes. Both deformation twinning and non-basal slip are barely observed, and basal slip is the predominant deformation to accommodate micro-plasticity. Read More

A scale-free model for the coupled evolution of discrete dislocation bands and multivariant martensitic microstructure is developed. In contrast to previous phase field models, which are limited to nanoscale specimens, this model allows for treating the nucleation and evolution of martensite at evolving dislocation pileups, twin tips, and shear bands in a sample of an arbitrary size. The model is applied for finite element simulations of plastic strain-induced phase transformations (PTs) in a polycrystalline sample under compression and shear. Read More

It is challenging to quantify the geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density at the nanoscale using conventional electron backscatter diffraction due to its limited spatial resolution. To overcome this problem, in this study, the transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) technique is used to measure lattice orientation and to calculate the corresponding nanoscale GND density. Using the TKD method, a variation of GND density from 6 × 10 to 10 m has been measured in a welded super duplex stainless steel sample. Read More

Ternary Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steel alloys often exhibit a multi-step transformation known as double recalescence where primary ferrite converts to austenite during rapid solidification processes such as casting and welding. In addition to the volume free energy associated with undercooling between the phases, the free energy driving the transformation comes from two additional sources that are retained within the metastable solid-one from the primary phase undercooling and one from melt shear. A new physical model is proposed based on accumulation of defects, such as dislocations or tilt boundaries, and lattice strain. Read More

This editorial reviews and summarises the current evidence (meta-analyses and Cochrane reviews) relating to the use of hip hemi-arthroplasty for neck of femur fractures. Regarding the optimal surgical approach, two recent meta-analyses have found that posterior approaches are associated with: higher rates of dislocation compared to lateral and anterior approaches; and higher rates of re-operation compared to lateral approaches. Posterior approaches should therefore be avoided when performing hip hemi-arthroplasty procedures. Read More
