Flexible intramedullary nail fixation for paediatric tibial diaphysis fractures by Rojgar Anwar Tawfeeq, Omer Ameen Saeed

“…Nail protrusion and skin irritation were the most common complications, found in 10 patients (20%), and reoperation was done in three of them by cutting tip of the nail. Conclusion:Flexible intramedullary nails are effective and minimally invasive method for treatment of paediatric tibial diaphysis fractures; they control the length, angulations and rotation, as they provide stability through three points of fixations for each nail. …”

Research on Failure Characteristics and Zoning Control Technology of Thick-Soft Surrounding Rock for Deep Gob-Side Entry Retaining by Jingke Wu, Wenbin Zhou, Hong Tao, Haowen Bai, Wei Yin, Wenhu Gu, Peng Zhang, Zejun Liu, Jiao Zhang

“…Systematic research is conducted on the lithologic characteristics, failure characteristics, and control methods of the surrounding rock. The research findings are as follows: (1) The low strength, softening, and water swelling of thick mudstone, as well as its cataclasis, dilatancy, and long-term creep under strong mining and high stress are the objective reasons for large deformation of the surrounding rock. (2) Due to the weak stability of the surrounding rock-support structure and low collaborative roof side bearing capacity, no complete supporting structure is formed with the supporting system, causing the support body in each area to be crushed one by one, which is the subjective reason for the deformation and failure of the surrounding rock. (3) The deformation and failure characteristics of thick and soft surrounding rock in gob-side entry retaining are primarily divided into eight types: roof bending and sinking type, roof cutting along filling body, rib spalling type, roof fall type, filling body rotation type, filling body crushing type, roof step type, and roof cutting along the coal side. …”
