The short nose deformity may arise from multiple etiologies including iatrogenic following rhinoplasty. The weakening of the cartilaginous support and the contractile forces imposed by the healing soft tissue envelope may result in the short nose deformity. The focus of this article is to present the senior author's approach to this nasal deformity.

Purpose: Changes in lower extremity alignment in individuals with abnormality of this segments are unclear. The present study aimed to compare lower extremity alignment in subjects with genu valgum and genu varum deformities and healthy subjects  in order to understand the lower extremity alignment changes in this group.  Methods: This was a causal-comparative study. The sample comprised 120 m...

Introduction The natural history of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (patients who are least 4 years of age but younger than ten when the deformity is first identified) is usually a progression. In addition, patients who receive a diagnosis at five years or younger have a high chance of progression to a large curve, witch may lead to pulmonary and cardiac complications. The mainstay of conservativ...

background: this study aimed to assess dermis fat graft (dfg) as a choice to correct the tissue deficit in the free border of the upper lip in cleft lip repair surgery. materials and methods: thirty?five individuals who referred to alzahra hospital at 2013–2014,with lip deformity following the primary repair surgery of cleft lip underwent surgery by dfg technique. outcomes were assessed 4 month...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect(s) of three canal lubricants i.e. sodium hypochlorite, rc-prep as the paste form of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) and aqueous edta, on the occurrence/incidence of fracture, deformity and metal slivering of protaper rotary instruments. methods: a total of 120 mesial canals ( i.e. mesiobuccal and mesiolingual) of fir...

The relationship between hindfoot deformity and forefoot pressure was assessed in 28 rheumatoid patients who had undergone forefoot reconstruction four years previously. Patients with valgus hindfoot deformities tended to have high forefoot pressures whereas those with a normal hindfoot recorded normal pressures on the dynamic pedobarograph. All patients with residual forefoot pain recorded abn...

Introduction: Clinically, malalignment of the knee has been shown to create altered joint contact loads, however, it is not understood how this affects longitudinal bone growth. Previous investigators have addressed this issue by applying static loads in a two-dimensional linear elastic finite element model (2). However, studies have shown that load passing through the knee is highly dependent ...
