Simultaneous Zygomatic Osteotomies With Reduction Mandibuloplasty

Towel clip reduction of the depressed zygomatic arch fracture.

F c ince the first description of a surgical reduction of a ygoma fracture by Duverney in 1751, many varying ethods of treatment have been described. Both inraoral and extraoral methods have become commonlace. The transoral approach was popularized by Keen n 1909, with later modifications by Goldthwaite and uinn. These techniques offer the advantages of avoidng any skin incision, thereby avoidi...

Dimensionality Reduction with Simultaneous Sparse Approximations

We propose a dimensionality reduction method for structured signals and its application in classification. The training phase implements a learning process that forms a parts-based representation of signals. Signals are jointly represented in a common subspace extracted from a redundant dictionary of basis functions, using greedy pursuit algorithms for simultaneous sparse approximations. A smal...

Safety of zygomatic bone harvesting: a prospective study of 32 consecutive patients with simultaneous zygomatic bone grafting and 1-stage implant placement.

PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the safety of zygomatic bone harvesting and to determine whether a particulated zygomatic bone graft can be used simultaneously with 1-stage dental implants to reconstruct resorbed edentulous alveolar ridges. MATERIALS AND METHODS Altogether, 82 dental implants were placed in 32 patients. Particulated bone grafts harvested from the...

Osteotomies around the knee

J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 2008;90-B:1548-57. New developments in osteotomy techniques and methods of fixation have caused a revival of interest of osteotomies around the knee. The current consensus on the indications, patient selection and the factors influencing the outcome after high tibial osteotomy is presented. This paper highlights recent research aimed at joint pressure redistribution, fixa...
