Medical robotics is still a relatively new field with researchers and companies all adopting various styles and techniques to solve the challenges faced. This chapter outlines one unique approach to the development of a medical robot for the reduction of broken femurs. Fractures are common injuries, for example in adults over the age of 65 it is reported that 87% of falls results in a fracture ...

aneurysmal bone cyst (abc) is an expansile bone lesion that usually involves the long bones. skull base involvement is rare. hereby, we describe a 17-year-old man with hoarseness, facial asymmetry, left sided sensorineural hearing loss and left jugular foramen syndrome. ct scan and mri showed a skull base mass that was confirmed as abc in histopathology. the case was unusual and interesting due...

A 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (On renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. The 99m Tc-MDP images revealed marked hepatic uptake. In addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. As an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower po...

Although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates.  Conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. A 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. Patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. Rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal ...

objective: non:union: is defined as a minimum of 9 months since injury without any visible progressive signs of healing for 3 months. recent literature has shown that the application of mesenchymal stromal cells is safe, in vitro and in vivo, for treating long bone non:union:. the present study was performed to investigate the safety of mesenchymal stromal cell (msc) implantation in combination...

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is the only cytokine that induces heterotopic new bone. BMP has been classified as a subfamily of TGF superfamily. The most important and essential aspect for clinical application replenishment reinforcement bone defects fragile areas with However, it difficult to ascertain long term results. In this study, we examined osteogenic potential in mouse femoral fasci...

introduction: reconstruction of the oral cavity witha flap design containing the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle but excluding the facial artery and vein is the topic of these case reports. case reports: this article uses random pattern vertically oriented partial thickness buccinator myomucosal flap for intraoral reconstruction in two cases. the first was for lining the mandibular anterior...
