Surgery Planning Simulation for Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation

Careful planning of operations is critical to success of the closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) surgery to fix proximal femur fractures. This paper presents a novel surgery planning simulation for the CRIF. The developed simulation employs 3D femur model reconstructed from actual patient’s CT data, and enables the user to make a plan on the model using 2D mouse. A projection scheme i...

Integrated Internal Stabilization for Saddle Nose Surgery

Introduction: Correction of Saddle nose deformity is one of the most challenging issues in facial plastic surgery.   Materials and Methods: In this study, a single structure in the form of L-strut was attempted to be created by using one 0.035" Kirschner wire and an autologous costal graft out of the 10th and 11th ribs. This study involved 13 cases, most of whom were traumatic. The corrective ...

Meta-analysis of antibiotic prophylaxis in breast reduction surgery.

BACKGROUND Breast reduction surgery is a very common procedure; however, there is still no consensus as to whether antibiotics should be used perioperatively. OBJECTIVE To review the world literature and perform a meta-analysis of studies comparing wound infection rates with antibiotic use in breast reduction surgery. METHODS A literature search was performed using the MEDLINE, Cochrane Dat...

The VersaJet for Breast-Reduction Surgery: Operator Beware

BACKGROUND Modern techniques for breast-reduction surgery depend on large surface de-epithelialization. The current gold standard technique involves the use of a scalpel for sharp debridement and is a time-consuming process that is labor-intensive and often requires an assistant to stabilize the breast. Surgeons who perform breast-reduction surgery continue to search for instruments and innovat...
