BACKGROUND We compared the pre-operative 3D-surgical plan with the surgical outcome of complex two-stage secondary reconstruction of maxillofacial defects using inserted implants in the prefabricated fibula graft. METHODS Eleven reconstructions of maxillofacial defects with prefabricated fibulas were performed using a 3D virtual planning. Accuracy of placement of the fibula grafts and dental ...

Background Knee injuries encountered in clinical practice can involve avulsions of the biceps femoris from the fibula and proximal tibia. Advances in tendon repair methods now allow for repairs with increased surface areas using modern suture anchor techniques. Despite descriptions of repair techniques, there are no biomechanical studies on the biceps femoris for comparison. Purpose/Hypothesi...

Abstract Weight support is a strong functional constraint modelling limb bones in heavy quadrupeds. However, the complex relations between bone shape, mass, size and body proportions have been poorly explored. Rhinocerotoidea one of groups showing highest mass reached by terrestrial mammals through time. Here, we explore evolutionary variation shape hindlimb stylopod zeugopod its relationship w...

Objective: Evaluate the effect of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in two years since it started. Methods: Retrospective study to analyze complex structured data set high volume and variability (Big Data) publicly available on TabNet platform (DATASUS) through artificial intelligence software. The results foot ankle fractures, all lower limb body fractures were analyzed comparatively from 2018-2019 2020-202...

BACKGROUND Fibular shortening is one of the most common causes of ankle valgus deformity in children, and is frequently observed in patients with hereditary multiple exostoses (HME). It has been observed that the lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA) measured on the teleoradiograph differs from that on the ankle anteroposterior (AP) radiograph. The effect of the beam projection angle in the measur...
