Sodium hyaluronate (SH) is recognized as the strongest natural humectant, since it contains a large number of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in its structure, can absorb 1000 times own weight water. The porcine acellular dermal matrix (pADM) has been widely used biological materials for activities, such promoting cell proliferation wound healing. Enhancing hydrophilic moisturizing properties pADM...

This article explores whether some new acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) can be applied to breast augmentation or reconstruction revision, and particularly whether they can withstand the centripetal pull and prevent recurrent stretch deformities following periareolar mastopexy. Acellular dermis use in breast reconstruction and aesthetic breast revision is a fortuitous development, because their ...

Existing literature has not explored repeated tendon ruptures caused by torn intratendinous ganglions. The treatment of ganglion the hand remains a challenge, as it is difficult to completely excise while also preserving tendon. Herein report on case ruptured in extensor digitorum communis which resulted reconstruction surgeries. authors incorporated an acellular dermal matrix with transfer, de...

PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic acellular human dermal matrix augmentation of large rotator cuff tear repairs. METHODS A prospective, institutional review board-approved, multicenter series of patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of 2-tendon rotator cuff tears measuring greater than 3 cm were randomized by sealed envelopes opened at the time o...

BACKGROUND A survey was conducted to study current attitudes and common practices in breast augmentation. METHODS A 35-item electronic questionnaire was sent to the entire active American Society of Plastic Surgeons membership. It was divided into current controversies, new technologies, common practices, secondary procedures, and member demographics. RESULTS There were 1067 respondents. Fi...
