Objective- Current trends emphasize the acceleration of fracture healing on the ground that in doing so, the limitation of mobility and complications associated with recovery period are reduced. The present study aims to compare autogenic costal cartilage with Chitosan scaffold in canine humeral defect healing. Design- Experimental study Animal-15 adult male dogs Procedures-...

Background: The standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. However, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. Mathods: This prospective study was und...

The healing of bone defects after a fracture remains key issue to be addressed. Globally, more than 20 million patients experience annually. Among all artificial repair materials that can aid healing, implantable scaffolds made from mineralized collagen (MC) base have the strongest bionic properties. MC/PLGA scaffold, created by adding Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) copolymer (PLGA) and magnesi...

An experiment was conducted to examine the hypothesis that the right hand system is superior in the processing of visual information. A manual aiming task utilizing four visual conditions was employed. In the full-vision (FV) condition subjects were afforded vision of both the hand and the target throughout the course of the movement. In the ambient-illumination-off (AO) condition, the room lig...

A ccurate tissue orientation and precise mapping of tissue specimens are fundamental to the technique of Mohs micrographic surgery. The ideal method for tissuemappingwould allow for precise replication of both the surgical defect and the excised tissue specimens in a reliable, rapid and reproducible manner. The most commonly utilized mapping technique is a hand-drawn sketch of the tissue specim...

closure of donor site of the flap has special problems. reduction of this site will decrease the morbidity of operation. in this study, we present our experience in donor site size reduction. methods between 2006 and 2008, 15 patients with skin and soft tissue defects underwent operation. in all patients, coverage of defect was performed with various flaps. substratum horizontal mat-tress sutur...
