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 surgery. ...

Evidence of disease was analyzed from the skeletal remains of 11 individuals dating to the post-Medieval period from church cemetery of St. Ilija in Serbia. Two individuals showed pathological condition affecting joints. It was supposed that first individual had been suffering from Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. It seems that this condition remained untreated, with extensive bone remodeling, and t...

The treatment of deformities of the nasal septum and the hypertrophy of the turbinates is necessary because in many of these cases the deformity is of exclusive respiratory cause, in which case the patient will be submitted to maxillary impaction to correct this vertical skeletal growth pattern. When impacting the maxilla, it is a fact that the nasal cavity will be diminished, because when the ...

This report is based on a case of temporomandibular joint ankylosis discovered in a cadaver during routine student dissection in the Department of Anatomy at Tokyo Dental College. Extensive osseous ankylosis in the left temporomandibular joint was evident in this case which exhibited a distinctive bird-like facial deformity caused by a mandibular growth disorder. This resulted in the underdevel...

Objective The purpose of this study was to present early and adult cases of anterior open bite that were treated efficiently using different treatment approaches and mechanics. Materials and Methods Five patients of different age groups (from 7 to 27 years), suffering from a clear Anterior open bite deformity, were properly diagnosed and relevant treatment modality for each was selected. Re...

SUMMARY This report describes a new method for the surgical repair of the chest wall deformity encountered in complex Poland's syndrome. In this report, we describe the use of a customized titanium implant that was used to replace the missing second through fifth ribs and to provide chest wall stabilization before breast reconstruction. This approach might be considered an alternative to autolo...

BACKGROUND Goltz syndrome or focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) is an uncommon multisystem disorder. Herein, we report a typical case of FDH with unilateral ocular, cutaneous and skeletal features. CASE PRESENTATION a 4-year-old girl presented with microphthalmos and iris coloboma of the left eye, facial asymmetry, and a low-set protruding ear. Cutaneous changes included hypopigmented atrophic mac...

When resurfacing the tibia, axial and sagittal alignment is achieved with reference to the long axis of the tibia. This is not without problems in cases of previous tibial trauma or skeletal deformity. Alternative approaches to achieving appropriate three-dimensional alignment could include the use of the tibial plateau rim and/or the proximal tibial surface. However, the repeatability of this ...

While modular femoral neck systems have been successfully employed for a variety of patient skeletal pathology, they are not without clinical concerns. Their structural compromise at metal-metal interconnections due to cyclic microdisplacements, component disassociation in vivo, and increased potential for metallic wear debris generation and corrosion have all been reported along with tissue re...
