introduction : lateral osteotomy is a major part of rhinoplasty for remodeling external facet of the nose and narrowing of nasal base and dorsum after removal of the hump with the edema and ecchymosis being the major sequels of the operation. the present study compared post-operative edema and ecchymosis and mucosa tears between internal and external osteotomy techniques. materials and methods ...

The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of 2 widely used methods of lateral osteotomy on the internal nasal valve (INV) by measuring minimal cross-sectional area using acoustic rhinometry (AR) and computed tomography (CT) in the pre- and postoperative setting. Thirty adult patients noting nasal deformity requiring rhinoplasty were enrolled. Patients were divided into 3 groups of 10 p...

BACKGROUND Osteotomy is one of the major steps in rhinoplasty. The aim of study was to compare edema and ecchymosis after external and internal lateral osteotomy in patients who underwent rhinoplasty. METHODS Based on a prospective randomized clinical trial, 168 osteotomies were performed through an external route in a perforating fashion and internal route in a continuous fashion at r...

The authors present a unique use of the Z osteotomy in the fifth metatarsal for correction of Tailor bunion. The rotational capabilities of the Z osteotomy are exploited to provide correction of fifth metatarsal lateral bowing and to decrease intermetatarsal angles. The osteotomy is inherently stable, and the design facilitates internal fixation.

A precise and reproducible lateral osteotomy is a requirement for successful rhinoplasty. Two basic techniques have evolved: the external perforated method and the internal continuous method. The literature supporting the external perforated technique maintains that it contributes to a controlled, stable fracture and produces less nasal airway narrowing, hemorrhage, edema, and ecchymosis; howev...

Nose Lateral osteotomy is known as a major constituent of nose plastic surgery to correct nasal bone deformity and reducing nasal bone width. Different methods of osteotomy have been introduced so far that are categorized into two common internal and external methods. The surgeon has little control on this phase of nose plastic surgery. Several complications have been mentioned for Lateral oste...

Objective: Lateral humeral condyle fractures are troublesome injuries and are common among the lower end humerus epiphyseal injuries. These fractures are prone to go for non union . Preference for treatment of these nonunions, is to be individualised. Methods, varying from open reduction internal fixation with or without bone pegs, varus osteotomy to displacement osteotomy in gross valgus defor...

Correction of the crooked nose is one of the most challenging procedures in rhinoplasty. The goals of the surgery are creation of a rigid and straight cartilaginous L-strut, correction of the deviated bony structures, and improvement of the nasal airway. Curvatures of the dorsal septum can be corrected with several techniques. Spreader grafts, cartilage batten grafts, or ethmoid bone grafts can...
