Correction: Mandibular reconstruction using an axially vascularized tissue-engineered construct
نویسندگان
چکیده
Correction After publication of this work [1], the authors noted that there were some corrections that should be added to the work. These corrections are done in order to modify some parts that were unfortunately missed during the original publishing procedures. The authors would like to apologize for the inconvenience. Page 2 in the Methods section under “Mechanical loading studies and design of the defect” line 13: “4 cm” should be written instead of “8 cm.” In the legends of Figures 7 and 8, the right tag should be as follows: A: Parotid duct, D: Facial nerve, V: facial vessels.

Mandibular reconstruction using an axially vascularized tissue-engineered construct
BACKGROUND Current reconstructive techniques for continuity defects of the mandible include the use of free flaps, bone grafts, and alloplastic materials. New methods of regenerative medicine designed to restore tissues depend mainly on the so-called extrinsic neovascularization, where the neovascular bed originates from the periphery of the construct. This method is not applicable for large de...
متن کاملReconstructionof Human Mandibular Continuity Defects with Allogenic Scaffold and Autologousmarrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background Mandibular continuity defects occur after tumor resection, maxillofacial injury, or osteomyelitis. Despite the current availability of a plethora of treatment modalities, bone substitutes, and various clinical adjuncts, an exact reconstructive recapitulation of large bony defects continues to be beyond reach. In this clinical pilot study, we report a novel method for reconstruction ...
متن کاملPrimate mandibular reconstruction with prefabricated, vascularized tissue-engineered bone flaps and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 implanted in situ.
Several studies have validated successful mandibular reconstruction with prefabricated tissue-engineered bone flaps and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) implanted in situ. Whether rhBMP-2 applied with the prefabrication technique enables faster ossification of mandibular defects than rhBMP-2 applied in situ is unknown. We aimed to compare mandibular reconstruction with p...
متن کاملAutologously generated tissue-engineered bone flaps for reconstruction of large mandibular defects in an ovine model.
The reconstruction of large craniofacial defects remains a significant clinical challenge. The complex geometry of facial bone and the lack of suitable donor tissue often hinders successful repair. One strategy to address both of these difficulties is the development of an in vivo bioreactor, where a tissue flap of suitable geometry can be orthotopically grown within the same patient requiring ...
متن کاملMandibular Reconstruction Using the Free Vascularized Fibula Graft: An Overview of Different Modifications
The reconstruction of the mandible is a complex procedure because various cosmetic as well as functional challenges must be addressed, including mastication and oral competence. Many surgical techniques have been described to address these challenges, including non-vascularized bone grafts, vascularized bone grafts, and approaches related to tissue engineering. This review summarizes different ...
