Objective: Complications from craniotomy in brain tumor patients lead to worse clinical outcomes either from infection, reoperation, or delays in adjuvant therapies. We tested the hypothesis that DuraMatrixOnlay TM Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane potentially could reduce operative complications, and we report the unique characteristics of this onlay product in comparison to primary dural clos...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of collagen membranes (CMs) when used in conjunction with bovine hydroxyapatite particles incorporated with collagen matrix (BHC) for lateral onlay grafts in dogs. METHODS The first, second, and third premolars in the right maxilla of mongrel dogs (n=5) were extracted. After 2 months of healing, two BHC blocks (4 mm×4 mm×5 mm) were...

Introduction: There are two main designs used for unicompartmental tibial components. The first design, an all plastic component called an inlay, preserves bone on the outer edge of the tibia which is feasible using a robotically-controlled burring tool. Also, the depth of resection is small, preserving the strongest cancellous bone which is near the surface. The second design, called an onlay,...

INTRODUCTION Neglected case of nonunion of fracture both bones forearm with deformity is very difficult to manage. Treatment options are minimal. Identifying such a case in literature is also very rare. One such rare case is discussed here. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 65-year-old male patient, who was operated 15 years back for fracture both bones forearm, with 3.5 mm dynamic com...

Clinical treatments that require restoration of occlusal vertical dimension pose a challenge to prosthodontists. This article describes the modification of existing removable partial dentures into onlay interim prostheses. This process allowed the patient's tolerance to the restored occlusal vertical dimension, esthetics, and phonetics to be evaluated before irreversible changes were made to th...

IMPORTANCE No consensus exists as to the best technique, or techniques, to optimize wound healing, decrease pharyngocutaneous fistula formation, and shorten both hospital length of stay and time to initiation of oral intake after salvage laryngectomy. We sought to combine the recent experience of multiple high-volume institutions, with different reconstructive preferences, in the management of ...

COMMENT The May-June 2016 issue of the International Braz J Urol presents original contributions with a lot of interesting papers in different and as usual the editoŕs comment highlights some papers. We decided to comment 2 papers about a very usual topic in urologic practice: The Urethral Stricture. Doctor Prabha and collegues from India performed on page 564 an interesting study about the sin...

The successful treatment of an established pseudarthrosis in a forearm bone is always difficult, especially when the skin or soft tissues have been damaged by previous injury or infection. The usual technique is by the use of massive onlay grafts, as advised by Henderson (1938), Campbell (1939) and Speed (1942). In my experience this method, using a tibial graft, has had only moderate success i...

background and aims. autogenous onlay bone grafting is a common procedure for alveolar ridge augmentation. it has been suggested that the amount of healed bone after this technique would be significantly less than the initial quantity. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the various parameters influencing the outcome of ridge augmentation procedures. materials and me...
