Bilateral mandibular fracture was presented in 4 years old buffalo due to accidental injury. Radiographically the seen at proximal one third of horizontal ramus mandible. The stabilized with bilateral intramedullary pinning. can be well managed

Background The positions of the mandibular lingula and foramen have been set as indexes for inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block and ramus osteotomies in orthognathic surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the anatomical structures of mandibular ramus, especially the mandibular lingula and foramen, by analyzing the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data of young adults. Methods We evaluated ...

INTRODUCTION It has been stated that regulation of the development of the iliac bone is different from that of the ischium and pubis. There are well-known clinical syndromes concerned with hypoplasia of ischiopubic bone, such as small patella syndrome, nail-patella syndrome, ischiopubic-patellar hypoplasia, and ischiopubic hypoplasia. CASE PRESENTATION A fit and otherwise healthy 35-year-old ...

INTRODUCTION Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a useful treatment for patients with dysplastic hips and has been performed for the young patients with or without osteoarthritis of the hips. We have occasionally experienced inferior pubic ramus fractures in patients several months after PAO (Figure 1). Stress fractures of the pubis are known to occur in athletes or patients who have undergone to...

Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy is considered a standard technique in mandibular orthognathic surgeries to reduce unexpected bilateral stress in the temporomandibular joints. Unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSO) was recently introduced to correct facial asymmetry caused by asymmetric mandibular prognathism and has shown favorable outcomes. If unilateral surgery could guaran...

To determine the position of mandibular foramen (MF) from various parts of ramus of mandible and the incidence of accessory mandibular foramen (AMF) by studying on dry mandibles to assist dental surgeons to conduct dental procedures. Study was carried out on 100 dry mandibles of which 84 are dentulous and 16 are edentulous. The average distance of MF from the anterior boarder of mandibular ramu...

Loth and Henneberg (1996, Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 99:473-487) identified a single morphological feature of the mandible, the presence or absence of a distinct flexure or angulation of the posterior margin of the mandibular ramus at the level of the occlusal plane, which appears to be an extraordinarily accurate predictor of sex. Using only this feature, Loth and Henneberg were able to predict s...

A surgical approach involving the retromolar trigone, posterolateral maxilla, and pterygoid region is the most challenging in the field of maxillofacial surgery. The upper cheek flap (Weber-Ferguson incision) with subciliary extension and the maxillary swing approach have been considered as alternatives; however, neither approach provides sufficient exposure of the pterygoid region and the ante...
