Abstract
OBJECTIVE The biomechanical characteristics of proximal femoral trabeculae are closely related to the occurrence and treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Therefore, it is of great significance to study its biomechanical effects of cancellous bone in the proximal femur. This study examines the biomechanical effects of the cancellous bone in the proximal femur using a controlled variable method, which provide a foundation for further research into the mechanical properties of the proximal femur. METHODS Seventeen proximal femoral specimens were selected to scan by quantitative computed tomography (QCT), and the gray values of nine regions were measure to evaluated bone mineral density (BMD) using Mimics software. Then, an intact femur was fixed simulating unilateral standing position. Vertical compression experiments were then performed again after removing cancellous bone in the femoral head, femoral neck, and intertrochanteric region, and data were recorded. According to the controlled variable method, the femoral head, femoral neck, and intertrochanteric trabeculae were sequentially removed based on the axial loading of the intact femur, and the displacement and strain changes of the femur samples under axial loading were recorded. Gom software was used to measure and record displacement and strain maps of the femoral surface. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference in anteroposterior displacement of cancellous bone destruction in the proximal femur (p < 0.001). Proximal femoral bone mass explained 77.5% of the strength variation, in addition proximal femoral strength was mainly affected by bone mass at the level of the upper outer, lower inner, lower greater trochanter, and lesser trochanter of the femoral head. The normal stress conduction of the proximal femur was destroyed after removing cancellous bone, the stress was concentrated in the femoral head and lateral femoral neck, and the femoral head showed a tendency to subside after destroying cancellous bone. CONCLUSION The trabecular removal significantly altered the strain distribution and biomechanical strength of the proximal femur, demonstrating an important role in supporting and transforming bending moment under the vertical load. In addition, the strength of the proximal femur mainly depends on the bone density of the femoral head and intertrochanteric region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lateral wall fractures represent crucial risk factors for postoperative internal fixation failure in intertrochanteric femoral fractures. However, no consensus exists on the type of lateral wall fracture requiring interventional management. This study aimed to investigate the effect of residual lateral wall volume on the postoperative stability of intertrochanteric femur fractures with associated lateral wall fractures, providing valuable reference for the clinical management of the lateral wall. METHODS Eleven bone defect models of intertrochanteric femur fractures with varying residual lateral wall volumes were constructed using finite element analysis. These models were fixed with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). Simulations of von Mises stress and displacement distribution of the PFNA and femur during normal walking were conducted. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the correlation between volume and the maximum von Mises stresses and displacements of the PFNA and femur. RESULTS In all 11 models, the maximum von Mises stress and displacement of the helical blade, intramedullary nail, and femur occurred at the same locations. As residual lateral wall volume increased, the maximum von Mises stress and displacement of the helical blade, intramedullary nail, and maximum femoral displacement gradually decreased. However, the overall trend of the maximum femoral von Mises stress gradually decreased. At 70% retention of the residual lateral wall volume, there was a more pronounced change in the value of the maximum stress change of the helical blade and the intramedullary nail. Statistical analysis, including the Shapiro-Wilk test and Pearson correlation analysis, demonstrated a significant negative correlation between volume and the maximum von Mises stress and displacement of the helical blade, intramedullary nail, and femur. Linear regression analysis further confirmed this significant negative correlation. CONCLUSION Finite element analysis of the residual lateral wall revealed a significant correlation between volume and the postoperative stability of intertrochanteric femur fractures. A volume of 70% may serve as the threshold for stabilizing the residual lateral wall. Volume emerges as a novel index for evaluating the strength of the residual lateral walls.

Abstract
Introduction: Currently, cannulated screws (CSs) and dynamic hip screws (DHSs) are widely used for the treatment of femoral neck fractures, but the postoperative complications associated with these internal fixations remain high. In response to this challenge, our team proposes a new approach involving triangular-supported fixation and the development of the proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN). The primary objective of this study is to investigate the biomechanical differences among CSs, DHSs, and the PFBN in their capacity to stabilize femoral neck fractures. Methods: A normal proximal femur model was constructed according to the CT data of a normal healthy adult. A femoral neck fracture model was constructed and fixed with CSs, DHSs, and the PFBN to simulate the fracture fixation model. Abaqus 6.14 software was used to compare the biomechanical characters of the three fracture fixation models. Results: The maximum stresses and displacements of the normal proximal femur were 45.35 MPa and 2.83 mm, respectively. Under axial loading, the PFBN was more effective than DHSs and CSs in improving the stress concentration of the internal fixation and reducing the peak values of von Mises stress, maximum principal stress, and minimum principal stress. The PFBN fixation model exhibits superior overall and fracture section stability in comparison to both the DHS fixation model and the CS fixation model under axial loading. Notably, the maximum stress and peak displacement of the PFBN and bone were lower than those of the DHS and CS fixation models under bending and torsional loading. Conclusion: The PFBN shows considerable improvement in reducing stress concentration, propagating stress, and enhancing the overall stability in the femoral neck fracture fixation model compared to DHSs and CSs. These enhancements more closely correspond to the tissue structure and biomechanical characteristics of the proximal femur, demonstrating that the PFBN has great potential for therapeutic purposes in treating femoral neck fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Ward triangle is an important area used clinically to diagnose and assess osteoporosis and its fracture risk in the proximal femur. The main objective of this study was to investigate the rules of development and maturation of the trabeculae of Ward's triangle to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment proximal femur fracture. METHODS From January 2018 to December 2019, individuals from 4 months to 19 years old who underwent hip growth and development assessments at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were selected retrospectively. The outpatient electronic medical record system was used to collect information such as age, gender, imaging images, and clinical diagnosis. The development score and maturity characteristics of the trabecular bone were analyzed using hip radiograph data. Correlation analysis was performed to identify the relationship among age, neck-shaft angle and development and maturity score of the trabecular bone. RESULTS A total of 941 patients were enrolled in this study, including 539 males and 402 females. Primary compression trabeculae were all present at 1 year of age and matured at 7 years of age and older; primary tension trabeculae were all present at 4 years of age and matured at 18 years of age. Secondary compression trabeculae were present at 4 years of age and matured at 18 years of age. In addition, the neck-shaft angle progressively decreases from 4 months to 14 years of age but barely changes between 15 and 19 years of age. CONCLUSION In short, the development and maturation of the trabeculae in the ward' triangle followed a specific temporal pattern that was related to the neck-shaft angle. Therefore, these findings can help us understand structure and mechanical characteristics of proximal femoral trabeculae, and improve our understanding of the mechanism and treatment of proximal femoral fractures.

Abstract
The accuracy of screw placement is a key factor for the stability of the cannulated screws used in the fixation of femoral neck fractures. In this study we designed a navigation device for ensuring the screw reaches the ideal position for optimal fixation. From March 2019 to September 2020, 66 patients with femoral neck fracture were enrolled and divided into 2 groups, one group was treated using the traditional free-hand cannulated screw fixation and the other using the new navigation device with assisted fixation. The effectiveness of the 2 methods was compared based on surgery duration, intraoperative bleeding, number of fluoroscopic examination and guidewire insertion attempts, screw parallelism, and effective fixation area. Fracture healing, complications and hip joint function were assessed after operation. The new navigation device reduced the duration of surgery without causing additional intraoperative bleeding, and significantly reduced number of fluoroscopy examination and guidewire insertion attempts (4.00±1.58 vs. 6.09±1.94 with traditional surgery). The accuracy of screw implantation was improved, as demonstrated by increased screw parallelism (0.71±0.57° vs. 1.66 ±1.01° with traditional surgery) and higher effective fixed area (64.88±10.52 vs. 58.61±9.19 mm2 with traditional surgery). In the postoperative follow-up, except for one case of femoral head necrosis and one case of bone nonunion in the traditional surgical group, the other patients showed fracture healing. There was no significant difference in hip joint function between the 2 groups. The new navigation device enables rapid and accurate guidewire positioning for cannulated screw fixation through simple operation procedures, resulting in good prospect for clinical transformation.

Abstract
Background Conventional cannulated screws are commonly used for internal fixation in the treatment of vertical femoral neck fractures. However, the noticeably high rates of undesirable outcomes such as nonunion, malunion, avascular necrosis, and fixation failure still troubled the patients and surgeons. It is urgent to develop new cannulated screws to improve the above clinical problems. The purpose of this study was to design a novel magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw and to further evaluate its biomechanical performance for the treatment of vertical femoral neck fractures. Methods A novel magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw was designed, and the conventional titanium cannulated screw was also modeled. The finite element models for vertical femoral neck fractures with magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screws and conventional cannulated screws were respectively established. The hip joint contact force during walking gait calculated by a subject-specific musculoskeletal multibody dynamics model, was used as loads and boundary conditions for both finite element models. The stress and displacement distributions of the cannulated screws and the femur, the micromotion of the fracture surfaces of the femoral neck, and the overall stiffness were calculated and analyzed using finite element models. The biomechanical performance of the Magnesium-Titanium hybrid cannulated screws was evaluated. Results The maximum stresses of the magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screws and the conventional cannulated screws were 451.5 MPa and 476.8 MPa, respectively. The maximum stresses of the femur with the above different cannulated screws were 140.3 MPa and 164.8 MPa, respectively. The maximum displacement of the femur with the hybrid cannulated screws was 6.260 mm, lower than the femur with the conventional cannulated screws, which was 7.125 mm. The tangential micromotions in the two orthogonal directions at the fracture surface of the femoral neck with the magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screws were comparable to those with the conventional cannulated screws. The overall stiffness of the magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw system was 490.17 N/mm, higher than that of the conventional cannulated screw system, which was 433.92 N/mm. Conclusion The magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw had superior mechanical strength and fixation stability for the treatment of the vertical femoral neck fractures, compared with those of the conventional cannulated screw, indicating that the magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw has great potential as a new fixation strategy in future clinical applications.The translational potential of this article: This study highlights an innovative design of the magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw for the treatment of vertical femoral neck fractures. The novel magnesium-titanium hybrid cannulated screw not only to provide sufficient mechanical strength and fixation stability but also to contribute to the promotion of fracture healing, which could provide a better treatment for the vertical femoral neck fractures, beneficially reducing the incidence of nonunion and reoperation rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous studies have demonstrated the mechanical effect of sclerosis around screw paths on the healing of femoral neck fractures (FNF) after internal fixation. Furthermore, we discussed the possibility of using bioceramic nails (BNs) to prevent sclerosis. However, all these studies were conducted under static conditions as the patient was standing on one leg, while the effect of the stress generated during movement is unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress and displacement under dynamic stress loading conditions. METHODS Two types of internal fixation, namely cannulated screws and bioceramic nails, were utilized in conjunction with various finite element models of the femur. These models included the femoral neck fracture healing model, the femoral neck fracture model, and the sclerosis around screws model. The resulting stress and displacement were analyzed by applying the contact forces associated with the most demanding activities during gait, including walking, standing, and knee bending. The present study establishes a comprehensive framework for investigating the biomechanical properties of internal fixation devices in the context of femoral fractures. RESULTS The stress at the top of the femoral head in the sclerotic model was increased by roughly 15 MPa during the knee bend and walking phases and by about 30 MPa during the standing phase compared to the healing model. The area of high stress at the top of the femoral head was increased during the sclerotic model's walking and standing phases. Additionally, the stress distribution throughout the dynamic gait cycle was comparable before and after the removal of internal fixations following the healing of the FNF. The overall stress distribution of the entire fractured femoral model was lower and more evenly distributed in all combinations of internal fixation. Furthermore, the internal fixation stress concentration was lower when more BNs were used. In the fractured model with three cannulated screws (CSs), however, the majority of the stress was concentrated around the ends of the fractures.The maximal stress in the healing model with one CS and two BNs was the highest at all stages of gait over three combinations of internal fixation, and the stress was mainly carried by CS. CONCLUSIONS The presence of sclerosis around screw paths increases the risk of femoral head necrosis. Removal of CS has little effect on the mechanics of the femur after healing of the FNF. BNs have several advantages over conventional CSs after FNF. Replacing all internal fixations with BNs after the healing of FNF may solve the problem of sclerosis formation around CSs to improve bone reconstruction owing to their bioactivity.

Abstract
Background Use of degradable magnesium (Mg)-based metal implants in orthopaedic surgeries can avoid drawbacks associated with subsequent removal of the non-degradable metallic implants, reducing cost and trauma of patients. Although Mg has been applied in the clinic for orthopaedic treatment, the use of Mg-based metal implants is largely in the research phase. But its application is potentially beneficial in this context as it has been shown that Mg can promote osteogenesis and inhibit osteoclast activity. Methods A systematic literature search about “degradable magnesium (Mg)-based metal implants” was performed in PubMed and Web of Science. Meanwhile, relevant findings have been reviewed and quoted. Results In this review, we summarize the latest developments in Mg-based metal implants and their role in bone regeneration. We also review the various molecular mechanisms by which Mg ions regulate bone metabolic processes, including osteogenesis, osteoclast activity, angiogenesis, immunity, and neurology. Finally, we discuss the remaining research challenges and opportunities for Mg-based implants and their applications. Conclusion Currently, establishment of the in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation systems and phenotypic modification improvement of Mg-based implants are still needed. Clarifying the functions of Mg-based metal implants in promoting bone metabolism is beneficial for their clinical application. The Translational potential of this article All current reviews on Mg-based implants are mainly concerned with the improvement of Mg alloy properties or the progress of applications. However, there are few reviews that provides a systematic narrative on the effect of Mg on bone metabolism. This review summarized the latest developments in Mg-based metal implants and various molecular mechanisms of Mg ions regulating bone metabolism, which is beneficial to further promote the translation of Mg based implants in the clinic and is able to provide a strong basis for the clinical application of Mg based implants.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg), as a biodegradable material, is a promising candidate for orthopedic surgery. Long-bone fractures usually occur in cancellous-bone-rich epiphysis at each end or the cortical-rich diaphysis in the center, with different bone healing processes. Little is known about the differences in results between the two regions when applying Mg implants. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the biodegradation and osteogenesis of Mg implants in a rat model's epiphysis and diaphysis of the long bone. Twelve male Sprague Dawley rats underwent Mg rod implantation in the distal femoral epiphyses and tibial diaphyses. Every three weeks for up to twelve weeks, degradation behavior, gas evolution, and new bone formation were measured by micro CT. Histomorphology was analyzed by Hematoxylin and Eosin, Villanueva bone staining, and TRAP staining for osteoclastogenesis evaluations. Micro-CT analysis showed statistically significant higher new bone formation in the epiphysis group than in the diaphysis group, which correlated with a lower gas volume. Histological analysis showed higher osseointegration of Mg implants in the epiphyseal region than in the diaphyseal region. The magnesium implant's osteoclastogenesis-inhibiting properties were shown in the surrounding areas in both the cortical bone of the diaphysis and the cancellous bone of the epiphysis. Our findings show the differences in the magnesium implant's osteogenesis and biodegradation in the epiphysis and the diaphysis. These dissimilarities indicate a better response of the epiphyseal region to the Mg implants, a promising biomaterial for orthopedic surgery applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and Gamma nail were recommended for intertrochanteric fracture, however, with high rate of post-operation complications. The triangular support intramedullary nail (TSIN) was designed to reduce the risk of postoperative complications related to Gamma nail and PFNA, and the aim is to compare the biomechanical characters of Gamma nail, PFNA and TSIN for fixation of intertrochanteric fracture and prove the rationality of the concept of triangle fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS The finite element model of proximal femur was constructed according to the CT data of femur. Intertrochanteric fracture models with Evans type Ⅰ and Ⅳ were established and fixed with Gamma nail, PFNA and TSIN by UG-NX 12.0. The finite element analysis software was used to compare the stress distribution and displacement of three implants fixation models. RESULTS Under axial loading of 600 N, the peak stress and maximum displacement of intact proximal femur was 13.78 MPa and 1.33 mm, respectively. The maximum stress of TSIN for fixation of Evans type Ⅰ and Ⅳ intertrochanteric fractures was 86.23 MPa and 160.63 MPa which was significantly lower than that of Gamma nail and PFNA. The maximum relative displacement of fracture section in Gamma nail and PFNA fixation models was 0.18 mm and 0.19 mm which has 135% and 148% higher than in TSIN fixation models for fixing Evans type Ⅰ intertrochanteric fracture, and 0.47 mm and 0.59 mm which has 91% and 140% higher than in TSIN fixation models for stabilization of Evans type Ⅳ intertrochanteric fracture. CONCLUSION Compared with Gamma nail and PFNA fixation, TSIN has superior advantages in stress distribution and construct stability. We believe that triangle fixation concept help to reduce the risk of post-operative complications associated with PFNA and Gamma nail and improve the clinical effect of intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract
Background Dynamic hip screw (DHS) is one of the most widely internal fixations for stabilizing intertrochanteric fracture, however, with a high risk of postoperative complications. The triangle support fixation plate (TSFP) is developed to reduce the postoperative complications. The purpose of study is to evaluate the biomechanical performance of the DHS and TSFP and demonstrate the rationality of triangular internal fixation for stabilizing intertrochanteric fractures. Methods The CT data of the proximal femur were used to establish finite-element models. Evans type I and IV intertrochanteric fracture were constructed and stabilized with the DHS and TSFP. The Von-Mises stress, maximum principal stress, minimum principal stress, and displacement were used to evaluate the biomechanical effect of two implants on intertrochanteric fracture. Results Under a 600N axial load, the maximum stress and displacement of an intact proximal femur were 13.78 MPa and 1.33 mm, respectively. The peak stresses of the bone in the TSFP were 35.41 MPa and 68.97 MPa for treating Evans type I and IV intertrochanteric fractures, respectively, which were lower than those in the DHS. The maximum overall displacement and relative distance of the fracture surface in the DHS fixation model were 1.66 mm and 0.10 mm for treating Evans type I intertrochanteric fracture, which was 29.59% and 150% higher than that in the TSFP, and were 2.24 mm and 0.75 mm for treating Evans type IV intertrochanteric fracture, which was 42.58% and 650% higher than that in the TSFP. Conclusions In conclusion, the TSFP has obvious advantages in stress distribution and stability than the DHS, providing a promising option for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Based on the features of the three-dimensional spatial structure of the proximal femoral trabeculae, we developed a bionic triangular supporting intramedullary nail (TSIN) for the treatment of the femoral intertrochanteric fracture. The current study aimed to compare the mechanical stability and restoration of mechanical conduction between proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and TSIN to fix the intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS Firstly, five sets of PFNA and TSIN with the same size were selected and fixed on a biomechanical testing machine, and strain gauges were pasted on the main nail, lag screw, and supporting screw to load to the vertical load to 600 N, and the displacement and strain values were recorded. Secondly, formalin-preserved femurs were selected, and the left and right femurs of the same cadaver were randomly divided into two groups to prepare intertrochanteric femur fractures (AO classification 31-A1), which were fixed with PFNA (n = 15) and TSIN (n = 15), respectively. Sixteen sites around the fracture line were chosen to paste strain gauges and loaded vertically to 600 N, and then, the fracture fragment displacement and strain values were recorded. Finally, a 10,000-cycle test ranging from 10 to 600 N was conducted, and the cycle number and displacement value were recorded. RESULTS The overall displacement of PFNA was 2.17 ± 0.18 mm, which was significantly greater than the displacement of the TSIN group (1.66 ± 0.05 mm, P < 0.05) under a vertical load of 600 N. The strain below the PFNA lag screw was 868.29 ± 147.85, which was significantly greater than that of the TSIN (456.02 ± 35.06, P < 0.05); the strain value at the medial side of the PFNA nail was 444.00 ± 34.23, which was significantly less than that of the TSIN (613.57 ± 108.00, P < 0.05). Under the vertical load of 600 N, the displacement of the fracture fragments of the PFNA group was 0.95 ± 0.25 mm, which was significantly greater than that of the TSIN group (0.41 ± 0.09 mm, P < 0.05). The femoral specimens in the PFNA group showed significantly greater strains at the anterior (1, 2, and 4), lateral (7, 9, and 10), posterior (11), and medial (15 and 16) sites than those in the TSIN group (all P < 0.05). In the cyclic compression experiment, the displacements of the PFNA group at 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, and 10,000 cycles were 1.38 mm, 1.81 mm, 2.07 mm, 2.64 mm, and 3.58 mm, respectively, which were greater than the corresponding displacements of the TSIN group: 1.01 mm, 1.48 mm, 1.82 mm, 2.05 mm, and 2.66 mm (P8000 = 0.012, P10000 = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS The current study showed that TSIN had apparent advantages in stability and stress conduction. TSIN enhanced the stability of intertrochanteric fractures, particularly in superior fracture fragments, improved stress conduction, reduced the stress in the anterior and medial femur, and restored the biomechanical properties of the femur.
