F ascia lata (FL) is a material that is abundant and safe to harvest and has multiple uses as a graft material. Its advantage in augmentation rhinoplas-ty is in creating a smooth, natural looking dorsum. 2 Many techniques have been described for FL harvest, which require endoscopes, strippers, or fasciotomes. 4 Other small incision techniques have been described, but the graft segment harvested...

introduCtion: In shared decision-making (SDM) clinicians and patients arrive at a joint treatment decision, by incorporating best available evidence and the patients’ personal values and preferences. Little is known about the role of SDM in (paediatric) plastic surgery. For patients with congenital vascular malformations, many therapeutic options exist, ranging from surgery to compression stock...

Using the integration by parts method we derive a closed analytical expression for the result of the integration of an arbitrary dimensionally regulated tadpole diagram composed of a massless propagator and two massive ones, each raised into an arbitrary power, and including an arbitrary tensor numerator. We also briefly discuss the implementation of the formula in the algebraic manipulation la...

Specialist in Surgery, Kohat District, Koliat Of late years grafts of fascia lata have been frequently used for reparative surgery. In the army these reparative operations are specially useful as one has to deal with cases of injury and their after-effects. The practical application of fascial transplantation is the outcome of experimental works by various observers. It can be used for diverse ...

BACKGROUND Development of hip adductor, tensor fascia lata, and rectus femoris muscle contractures following total hip arthroplasties are quite common, with some patients failing to improve despite treatment with a variety of non-operative modalities. The purpose of the present study was to describe the use of and patient outcomes of botulinum toxin injections as an adjunctive treatment for mus...

This study examines whether the human iliotibial band (ITB) is specialized for elastic energy storage relative to the chimpanzee fascia lata (FL). To quantify the energy storage potential of these structures, we created computer models of human and chimpanzee lower limbs based on detailed anatomical dissections. We characterized the geometry and force-length properties of the FL, tensor fascia ...
