Angle Of Rotation

Background: Reconstruction of the nose can be difficult due to its complex anatomical features. In 1989, Zitelli described a modified version of the bilobed flap design technique using 45° and 90° angles to improve nasal reconstructions. While the bilobed flap is still frequently referenced in scholarly literature, there seems to be inconsistency in preoperative flap design; these deviations can lead to suboptimal outcomes. The authors aim to illustrate the variability in bilobed flap execution and provide guidelines in preoperative design to improve consistency. Methods: A geometrically-based approach was used to characterize the inconsistency of bilobed repair technique. The pre-operative design images from fifteen scholarly articles were analyzed via a series of measurements and computations to quantify the angle of rotation and dimensions for the primary and secondary lobes. The “Error Quotient” was a calculated ratio that objectively measured the extent to which a bilobed design deviated from Zitelli’s specifications. Results: There was a noticeable variability in the design of both the primary and secondary lobes. Bilobed designs with smaller angles of rotation, particularly of the first lobe, were associated with higher Error Quotients and greater amounts of deviation from Zitelli’s design. Designs with the smallest Error Quotients had a primary lobe rotation that approached 45°. Conclusion: Consistency of application of the bilobed flap should be established to allow for optimal results, particularly with emphasis on design of the primary lobe. This can be accomplished by including a disposable protractor and marker in their sterile kit to measure a 45° rotation.

Abstract Background Some unusual rotator cuff (RC) tears are located in more proximal tendinous portions, with substantial remnant tissue attached to the footprint. The two options for surgical repair are sacrificing or preserving the remnant tissue. We introduce a surgical repair technique that preserves as much of the remnant footprint as possible. Surgical technique A double-loaded suture anchor is inserted into the subchondral bone at the medial portion of the RC footprint; the lateral remnant tissue is preserved. Each strand is shuttled and repassed through the medial portion of the tendon in a mattress fashion using a suture hook device. Then, multiple no. 1 PDS sutures are passed through the medial and lateral stumps and left untied. Strands from the suture anchor are first tied in a double mattress fashion. Then, the repair is completed by tying the remaining no. 1 PDS sutures. Conclusions We propose a remnant-preserving RC repair technique for transtendinous RC tears with sufficient tissue remaining within the RC footprint. This technique appears advantageous in terms of re-establishing an environment that promotes tendon healing after repair.

Detonating code is a flexible code with an explosive core. It is used to transmit the ignition of explosives with high detonation velocity in the range of 5.5 to 7 km/s. However, it is difficult to use detonating code for the explosive welding of common metals since the horizontal point velocity usually exceeds the sound velocity. Hence, in the present work, a new method using underwater shock wave generated by the detonation of detonating code was tried. The details of the experimental parameters and the results are presented. From the results it is observed that the above technique is suitable to weld thin metal plates with relatively less explosives.

The Cu/Al composites conductive head is widely used in hydrometallurgy as the core component of cathode plate. Its conductive properties directly affect the power consumption, and the bonding strength and corrosion resistance determine the conductive head service life. The Cu/Al conductive head prepared by explosion welding, cold pressure welding, and solid-liquid casting methods were investigated in this paper. The interface microstructure and compositions were examined by scanning electron microscope and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry. The bonding strength, interface conductivity, and the corrosion resistance of three types of joints were characterized. The Cu/Al bonding interface produced by explosive welding presented a wavy-like morphology with typical defects and many of brittle compounds. A micro-interlocking effect was caused by the sawtooth structures on the cold pressure welding interface, and there was no typical metallurgical reaction on the interface. The Cu/Al bonding interface prepared by solid-liquid casting consisted mainly of an Al-Cu eutectic microstructure (Al2Cu+Al) and partial white slag inclusion. The thickness of the interface transition layer was about 200–250 µm, with defects such as holes, cracks, and unwelded areas. The conductivity, interfacial bonding strength, and corrosion resistance of the conductive head prepared by explosive welding were superior to the other two.

Residual Strains

This paper presents microstructural, hardness and residual strain information for solid-state welds in creep-resistant Cr-Mo steel, made using the new local damage repair technique offered by friction taper stud welding (FTSW). The technique is suitable for making single welds to repair, for example, localised creep damage but can also be extended to deal with planar defects through the use of overlapping welds. Neutron diffraction was used to measure residual strains at a number of positions along a series of 5 overlapping FTS welds.
