A 23-year-old female with Ewing's Sarcoma underwent tibial resection and skeletal reconstruction using proximal tibial allograft prosthetic reconstruction with distal femur endoprosthetic reconstruction and rotating hinge. Human acellular dermal matrix, (Alloderm, LifeCell, Branchburg, NJ, USA), was used to wrap the skeletal reconstruction. Soft tissue reconstruction was completed with a rotati...

Facial reconstruction is employed in the context of forensic investigation and for creating three-dimensional portraits of people from the past, from ancient Egyptian mummies and bog bodies to digital animations of J. S. Bach. This paper considers a facial reconstruction method (commonly known as the Manchester method) associated with the depiction and identification of the deceased from skelet...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hip reconstruction on patients with skeletal metastases to the hip. We investigated the effect of hip reconstruction on quality of life and ambulatory status, as well as cost-effectiveness of hip reconstruction in this group of patients.

We present a new method for the implicit reconstruction of branching shapes from a set of scattered data points. The method is based on the computation of a geometric skeleton inside the data set. This skeleton is simplified in order to filter noise and converted into skeletal elements – a graph of interconnected curves – that generate an implicit surface. We use Bézier triangles as extra skele...

Purpose: Proprioception is a part of the somatosensory system responsible for sending information to the central nervous system to monitor the status of various body parts relative to each another. One of the main causes of impaired proprioception is fatigue. In the following study, the effects of fatigue on quadriceps muscle and hence on knee proprioception in healthy subjects was studied.&nbs...

BACKGROUND Few published large series have described a surgical approach to maxillary skeletal reconstruction on the basis of the extent of maxillectomy. METHODS We have reviewed a 10-year experience with 38 consecutive maxillary reconstructions with respect to maxillectomy defects, reconstructive procedures, reconstructed buttresses, and functional and aesthetic outcomes. RESULTS Maxillect...
