Raman investigation of femtosecond laser-induced graphitic columns in single-crystal diamond
We report on the fabrication of graphitic columns induced in single-crystal diamond plates using 100 fs laser pulses at 800 nm wavelength. Different values of laser fluence (0.6–1.2 J/cm2) and graphitization spee...

Treatment of peritrochanteric fractures with the Endovis BA cephalomedullary nail: multicenter study of 1091 patients
Treatment of peritrochanteric fractures involves reduction and synthesis using reconstruction plates and screws, intramedullary or cephalomedullary nails, or external fixators. A new cephalomedullary nail, End...
