Cosmetic breast procedures are widely performed by plastic surgeons all over the world with high satisfaction rate for patients. The most common complications described for reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy are wound dehiscence, breast asymmetry, partial or total loss of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare ulcerative dermatitis of unclear origins first descri...

Cavernous haemangioma(CH) is mostly intraconal, single and unilateral in location. A 32 year old female presented with painless progressive growth near the inner canthus of right eye along with swelling of right upper eyelid and superomedial quadrant of the right orbit for five years. MRI showed lesions involving the preseptal space and extraconal compartment of the orbit at the superomedial as...

Snapping scapula syndrome at the superomedial corner of the scapula can lead to significant shoulder dysfunction. Bursectomy with or without partial scapulectomy is currently the most beneficial primary method of treatment in patients in whom nonoperative therapy fails. Arthroscopic access to the scapulothoracic space is simple and reproducible with the technique described in this report. The b...

BACKGROUND The preoperative prediction of therapeutic breast reduction weights, to achieve both relief of breast weight symptoms and yet achieve excellent breast shape, remains a challenge. OBJECTIVES To design a simple clinical method to preoperatively predict and quantify therapeutic breast reduction weights. METHODS In 31 women who underwent therapeutic bilateral reduction mammaplasty, t...

BACKGROUND Although Wise pattern reduction mammoplasty is one of the most prevalent procedures providing satisfactory cutaneous reduction, it is at the expense of inevitable lengthier scars and wound complications, especially at the inverted T junction. OBJECTIVE To describe a novel technique providing tension-free closure at the T junction through performing triangular lipodermal flaps. The ...

OBJECTIVES To present our early experience with the transoral approach to the superomedial parapharyngeal space (PPS) and describe our technique for removal of these neoplasms. STUDY DESIGN Consecutive case series by one author (Y.D.). METHODS Eight patients with various neoplasms of the superomedial PPS were retrospectively reviewed for type of neoplasm, size, success with the transoral ap...

BACKGROUND Hip endoscopy facilitates the treatment of extra-articular disorders of the proximal femur. Unfortunately, current knowledge of proximal femur anatomy is limited to qualitative descriptions and lacks surgically relevant landmarks. PURPOSE To provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of proximal femur anatomy in reference to surgically relevant bony landmarks. STUDY DESIGN D...

Biphasic creep indentation methodology and an automated indentation apparatus were used to measure the aggregate modulus, Poisson's ratio, permeability, thickness, creep and recovery equilibrium times, and percentage of recovery of normal articular cartilage in 10 human hip joints. These properties were mapped regionally to examine the mechanical factors involved in the development of site-spec...

BACKGROUND A contributory factor to hip osteoarthritis (OA) is abnormal cartilage mechanics. Acetabular retroversion, a version deformity of the acetabulum, has been postulated to cause OA via decreased posterior contact area and increased posterior contact stress. Although cartilage mechanics cannot be measured directly in vivo to evaluate the causes of OA, they can be predicted using finite e...
