This article, by editor Iospress2014, probably fails WP:COI. The reference is a primary source, and the technique does not seem to have received coverage beyond that source. Perhaps this technique will someday become notable, but it is not now. ubiquity (talk) 18:49, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * At the risk of speaking against my own proposal, I will note that the reference is from a peer-reviewed journal. Does an article in a peer-reviewed journal guarantee notability? ubiquity (talk) 02:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

The reference is not the only primary source for this method and it has received coverage beyond that source as well. Indeed this method has initially been introduced in 2011 in 41st Malaysian Orthopedic Association Annual General Meeting / Annual Scientific Meeting & 5thASEAN Arthroplasty Association Meeting.

Unlike conventional orthopedics surgical method that they use metal implants to stabilize fractures, this method does not need any metal construct to fix the bone, hence it obviates the majority of operative risks that may be associated with surgical techniques that involve metal implants such as plates, nails or screws. At the same time, cement that has been used in this method incorporates in the bone structure and improves mechanical properties and resistance of the treated bone therefore IMCO is very useful for patients with osteoporosis in which introduction of metal constructs may jeopardize the egg shell cortices of the bone. Allowing this article be remained in Wikipedia will facilitate orthopedics surgeons as well as researchers continuing this field and will be beneficial for patients with long bone fractures. IMCO is a surgical method and its use by other surgeon or researchers will not provide any credential or financial benefit for authors or editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iospress2014 (talk • contribs) 13:58, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete for now a single just-published article in a peer-reviewed journal, especially from a less major publisher like IOS press, does not meet medical sourcing requirement; conference presentations add nothing to it. When it is referred to by others, then it will be notable--but an article by the inventor himself proves nothing about notability. The argument above shows a promotional intent: after orthopedic surgeons know about it and use it, only then will it be the appropriate time for an encyclopedia article.

 * Delete per DGG, not enough coverage in independent reliable sources to be notable. Jinkinson   talk to me  01:45, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
