Radical resection of an extended malignant sarcoma of the chest wall requires full-thickness thoracic chest wall reconstruction. Reconstruction is tedious in the case of posteriorly located tumours, because the ipsilateral pedicled myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap is involved and hence not usable for soft tissue coverage. We report an original case of a left giant dorsal chondrosarcoma origin...

Skeletal muscle tissue engineering is a promising interdisciplinary specialty which aims at the reconstruction of skeletal muscle loss caused by traumatic injury congenital defects or tumor ablations. Due to the difficulty in procuring donor tissue, the possibilities for alternative treatment like autologous grafting (e.g. muscle flaps) are limited. This process also presents consistent problem...

In this paper, we present a newmethod for detecting curvilinear structures and reconstructing their regions in gray-scale images. The concept of skeleton extraction is introduced to detect more general structures such as tapering structures. A candidate skeleton is extracted from the Euclidean distance map that is constructed based on the edge map of an input image. The extracted skeleton is us...

Traumatic segmental femoral defects are commonly high velocity injuries and their reconstruction necessitates challenging surgical procedures. These injuries present commonly as open fractures and thorough wound debridement followed by adequate soft tissue cover is mandatory before skeletal reconstruction can be commenced. The definitive reconstructive procedure is therefore often delayed and t...

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. The distal radius is a relatively common skeletal site for primary bone tumors, but not for osteosarcoma. It is difficult to treat Osteosarcoma of the distal radius; however, skeletal reconstruction and functional restoration following en bloc resection may be a promising technique. This report presents a 17-year-old male with osteos...

Background: Limb salvaging surgeries are current surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcomas. Resected bonereplacement consists of two main methods; tumor prosthesis versus structural allograft. Biological reconstruction withan allograft is an economic cheap method in young sarcoma patients, however, the surgeons are more convinced withtumor prosthesis replacement.Methods: We evaluated the sh...

Abstract. In this article, the lightweight design of a palletizing manipulator arm structure is carried out. The optimization target designed in 3D with Solid Works. To determine area and secondary reconstruction model after optimized, reliability cost are also considered. meta-software performs mechanical performance simulation experiments under corresponding working conditions for structural ...

Line-to-Point Registration with Applications in Geometric Reconstruction of Coronary Stents By Claire Y. Lin Registration is a process of geometrically transforming one object to correspond to the other. It can utilized to align images, surfaces, or point clouds. The Iterative Closest Point algorithm is widely used in registration to achieve reconstruction of geometric shapes, but has drawbacks...

Communication and coordination between orthopedic plastic surgeons improve outcomes in severe extremity trauma. The “orthoplastics” approach to limb salvage incorporates priorities skillsets from both fields. Prevention of infection, coordinated skeletal soft tissue reconstruction, communication during recovery rehabilitation are key priorities. purpose this review is describe the trauma surgeo...
