BACKGROUND: Hip Dysplasia is a frequent orthopedic disease that is characterized by early joint sublux- ation. The DARthroplasty technique is a two-part process that involves applying bone graft to increase the femoral head coverage with a low morbidity rate and the long term is known results. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to investigate the radiograph...

PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Plastic Surgery, Mayo Hospital, KEMU, Lahore, from January 2011 to July 2012. METHODOLOGY Patients (n = 120) of either gender with ASA class-I and II re...

A ten-year-old reconstruction surgery of a total nasal dorsum defect on the right nose involves medial arm flap and self-rib cartilage, complicated into fibrous tissue retraction, which caused nostril narrowing asymmetry. This complication was corrected using combination nasolabial for skin coverage modified, old rib cartilage graft to create supportive rim newly reconstructive ala. There is co...

Mandibular reconstruction has been used in the last 100 years as a safe, effective and stable technique. Various types of grafts have been used, including the autogenous rib graft; the normal repair of this type of graft has been defined in some studies although some observations have been made indicating low predictability of the growth of this bone. The aim of this study was to report the cas...

Autogenous cartilage has generally been considered the gold standard grafting material in reconstructive septorhinoplasty for volume filling and structural support. In the restructuring of the nasal skeleton, autogenous cartilage can be harvested from the nasal septum, the auricle or the rib, but costal cartilage is considered the best graft material in patients requiring major reconstruction. ...

Introduction: Reconstruction of the surgically created defects in head and neck regions is a crucial step patients’ treatment plan. Regarding involved tissues, various flaps grafts have been introduced literature. The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) one most versatile with many variations for providing more advantages. Also, when bone tissue needed, it can be reconstructed via an oste...
