Reconstruction Of Noe Fracture With Immediate Diced Costal Cartilage Grafting: A Case Series

Diced Costal Cartilage for Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Costal Grafting in Mandibular Reconstruction

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of mandibular bone defect is a common indication in craniomaxillofacial surgery, and free fibular flap is the gold standard for this indication. However, there are alternatives; nonvascular bone grafting is one of them, and we present the costal grafting for mandibular reconstruction, a classic technique that is reliable, efficient, and produced less morbidity than the...

Elastic cartilage grafting in canine radial fracture

Bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. Repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. Theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (CBT) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. We tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

Autologous Diced Cartilage in Nasal Septoplasty

Diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. We present our preliminary experience in KAMC in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. This is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. All our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. Twelve were wrapped with tempora...

Sutureless vs sutured posterior costal cartilage grafting in laryngotracheal reconstruction in children.

OBJECTIVE To compare the postoperative course, complication rate, and decannulation rate in children who underwent either sutureless or sutured posterior costal cartilage grafting during laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary care children's medical center. PATIENTS The study included children who required posterior costal cartilage graft...
