INTRODUCTION: Since partial defects in articular cartilage do not heal spontaneously, whereas injuries that penetrate the subchondral bone undergo some repair [1], we have begun to consider the development of tissue engineered osteochondral constructs consisting of a hybrid scaffold of chondrocyte-seeded hydrogel and devitalized trabecular bone; such a scaffold may improve cartilage repair and ...

Fixed flexion deformity of knee secondary to osteoarthritis occurs mainly due posterior soft tissue tethering and/or contracture especially capsule rather than bony changes. A the leads functional, biomechanical and gait impairments that interferes with normal daily activities patients decrease their satisfaction after TKR. Correction FFD is mandatory during TKR replacement optimize postoperati...

Computed tomographic digital data and special off-line computer graphic analysis were used to measure volumes of normal orbital soft tissue, extraocular muscle, orbital fat, and total bony orbit in vivo in 29 patients (58 orbits). The upper limits of normal for adult bony orbit, soft tissue exclusive of the globe, orbital fat, and muscle are 30.1 cm3, 20.0 cm3, 14.4 cm3, and 6.5 cm3, respective...

This case report is focused on the possibility of treating atrophic ridge with a reduced number of surgical procedures and a reduced healing time. A 43-year-old female patient affected by edentulism associated with horizontal resorption of the ridge was treated by means of a sagittal osteotomy and expansion of the ridge with the new modified edentulous ridge expansion (MERE) technique to obtain...

Background: Successful management of extensive bony and soft tissue loss in the leg is challenging. The authors would like to describe a novel technique open bone transport used simultaneously with reverse-flow sural neurocutaneous flap achieve limb salvage. Method: A 40-year-old male patient had sustained Gustilo IIIC left proximal tibial fracture anterior following road traffic accident. Open...

BACKGROUND In sparse-view CT imaging, strong streak artifacts may appear around bony structures and they often compromise the image readability. Compressed sensing (CS) or total variation (TV) minimization-based image reconstruction method has reduced the streak artifacts to a great extent, but, sparse-view CT imaging still suffers from residual streak artifacts. We introduce a new bone-induced...

introduction in spite of multiple applications of bioactive glasses, these materials have not been evaluated yet for ridge augmentation. due to the large number of patients who need ridge augmentation and the benefits of nova bone, in comparison with other alloplasts, this study was fulfilled for evaluation of nova bone ability in ridge augmentation. methods the samples of this experimental stu...

BACKGROUND Proper pre-operative facial analysis that includes a thorough evaluation of both the bony and soft tissue anatomy is paramount to success in performing aesthetic surgery of the face. Ethnic variations in soft tissue profile add an important variable to pre-operative facial analysis. The aim of our study was to determine the role of ethnic variations in soft tissue facial profiles th...
