Background: The aim of this study was to examine whether the thickness preoperative soft tissue affects degree movement relative hard after orthognathic surgery. Methods: This is a retrospective examination lateral cephalometric X-rays patients who underwent surgery in single medical center, during 5-year period. Demographic and operative data were collected. Soft measured X-ray, followed by su...

In orthodontics the lateral X-ray and its analysis is an important part of the diagnostic procedures since the discovery of X-ray and the introduction of cephalic measuring with almost parallel X-rays. Making lateral and frontal photographs of the patient represents another common diagnostic method in this particular medical subject area. But both methods only allow a two dimensional inspection...

lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

Neurofibroma is a tumor composed of a complex proliferation of neuromesenchymal tissue (Schwann cells, perineural cells, fibroblast, and mast cells). We report a 45-year-old female who had a slow growing, large, soft, pedunculated mass on her left lateral neck. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of neurofibroma.

BACKGROUND Soft tissue defects of the posterior heel of the foot present difficult reconstructive problems. This paper reports the authors' early experience of five patients treated with a lateral calcaneal artery adipofascial flap. METHODS Between 2003 and 2007, five patients (3 males and 2 females) with soft-tissue defects over the posterior heel underwent a reconstruction using a lateral c...

Animals- - Twenty nine donkeys with clinical, radiographic and ultrasonographic evidences of fetlock disorders and lameness were used in this study. Procedures- Clinical, radiographic and ultrasonographic studies for donkeys have fetlock disorders and lameness were...

introduction: the phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (stfbs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...

Purpose. The aim of the present prospective study was to investigate correlations between 3D facial soft tissue scan and lateral cephalometric radiography measurements. Materials and Methods. The study sample comprised 312 subjects of Caucasian ethnic origin. Exclusion criteria were all the craniofacial anomalies, noticeable asymmetries, and previous or current orthodontic treatment. A cephalom...

The radiograph is rapidly superseding the clinical examination as the diagnostic tool for acute ankle injuries. Twenty-four independent variables which might help distinguish between soft tissue injuries and fractures at the ankle were identified and then used prospectively to study 150 consecutive patients with ankle injuries. Nineteen patients had fractured ankles (12.7 per cent) and 131 (87....
