Piezoelectric osteotomy in hand surgery: first experiences with a new technique
BACKGROUND In hand and spinal surgery nerve lesions are feared complications with the use of standard oscillating saws. Oral surgeons have started using a newly developed ultrasound bone scalpel when performing precise osteotomies. By using a frequency of 25-29 kHz only mineralized tissue is cut, sparing the soft tissue. This reduces the risk of nerve lesions. As there is a lack of experience w...
متن کاملFixation-Based Surgery: A New Technique for Distal Radius Osteotomy
OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop a fixation-based three-dimensional presurgical planner and an intraoperative guidance system for distal radius osteotomy. Fixation-based surgery is a technique premised on using a fixation device, such as a fracture-fixation plate, during the alignment and distraction phases of an osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The planning system and guidance system w...
متن کاملA new technique for mandibular osteotomy
Sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) is a surgical technique largely employed for mandibular mobilizations in orthognatic procedures. However, the traditional design of buccal osteotomy, located at the junction of mandibular ramus and body, may prevent more extensive sliding between the bone segments, particularly on the advance, laterality and verticality of the mandibular body. The author proposes ...
متن کاملPentalateral osteotomy for cubitus varus. Clinical experiences of a new technique.
Several methods for the correction of cubitus varus have been described, but most reported series are small and show a high rate of complications. We report a six-year personal experience of 77 osteotomies by a new technique which provides rigid fixation and allows correction of both varus and rotation deformities. It also prevents lateral bulging at the level of the osteotomy. In 58 cases foll...
متن کاملPiezosurgery Applied to Orthognathic Surgery - Retrospective Study with New Mandibular Saggital Piezo - Osteotomy Technique Description
Piezoelectric surgery, known as Piezosurgery, is a relatively new technique which was initiated in oral surgery in the year 2000 with the classic publication of Dr. Tomaso Vercellotti’s article, and in orthognathic surgery only in 2004 and 2005. This technique is safe and useful for facial osteotomies and or osteoplasties with excellent results. Piezosurgery functioning principle is an ultrason...
