Triticeal cartilage: a meta-analysis of prevalence and morphologic evaluation.

Purpose: The triticeal cartilage, situated within the lateral thyrohyoid membrane, remains elusive in function yet crucial in clinical contexts. Composed of hyaline cartilage, it is prone to ossification, potentially leading to diagnostic challenges such as misidentification with atherosclerosis or fractures.

Methods: This study, aiming to establish its prevalence and highlight clinical relevance, conducted a systematic review across several electronic databases such as Medline, PUBMED, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, SpringerLink and Sciencedirect using keywords "triticeal cartilage", "triticeous cartilage" or "cartilago triticea".

Statistical shape analysis of the lentiform nucleus of children of different age groups: a retrospective study.

The basal nuclei are important during infancy because of the significant development of motor skills. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the shape differences of the lentiform nucleus between different age and gender groups. A total of 126 children's axial magnetic resonance image series were included in the presented study.

Microcomputed tomographic analysis of bone microarchitecture after sinus augmentation with hyaluronic matrix: a case-control study.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze trabecular microarchitecture of augmented sinuses with hyaluronic matrix and xenograft by microcomputed tomography, and to investigate whether hyaluronic matrix has an effect on the newly formed bone quality.

Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients undergoing maxillary sinus augmentation were included in this split-mouth study. Right and left sinus sites were randomly assigned to test and control group.

Tendon of Flexor Carpi Radialis in carpal tunnel: a radiologic and cadaveric study.

Background/aim: Carpal tunnel is an important anatomical passage that carries the flexor tendons into the hand. As there is still no consensus about its contents among the anatomy textbooks, the main purpose of this study was to identify the relations of the flexor carpi radialis tendon in the carpal tunnel.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was completed in April 2018 at authors’ university’s hospital.

Morphometric analyses of clavicle's nutrient foramen.

Purpose: Fractures of the clavicle, which has an important location and function in the upper extremity and shoulder joint, compose 10% of all fracture cases. During the osteosynthesis of clavicle fractures and in the post-operative period of patients, considering the detailed morphometric and topographic properties of the nutrient foramen of clavicle is important to avoid the disruption of arterial nutrition of the clavicle and prevent unexpected injuries. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphometric properties of the nutrient foramen of clavicle in more detail using computedtomography images.

The Anatomy of the Sigmoid-Transverse Junction According to the Tentorial Angle.

Dural sinuses have critical importance during intracranial approaches. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the dural sinuses is crucial for surgeons to reduce unexpected venous bleeding. The aim of this study was to investigate anatomical relation of sigmoid sinus and tentorium cerebelli according to clinically palpable landmarks and cranial morphometry.

Redefining the morphometry of subclavian vessels for clavicle fracture treatments.

Purpose: Clavicle fractures are common injuries in adults and children. Although neurovascular damage is rarely seen, acute subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms and injuries to subclavian vessels were reported for closed fractures of the clavicle. The aim of this study was to identify the morphological details of the subclavian vessels and their relation to the sternoclavicular joint and body of the clavicle.

Does Periosteal Graft Combined With Platelet-Rich Plasma Enhance the Healing of Bone Defect?

Introduction: This study investigated the effect of periosteal graft + platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combination on facial bone defect healing.

Methods: Five-millimeter critical sized defects in zygomatic arches of 12 adult New Zealand rabbits were created. Rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: First group (control group): bone defects of left zygomatic arches of 6 rabbits were wrapped with a silicone tube.

Effects of local alendronate administration on bone defect healing. Histomorphometric and radiological evaluation in a rabbit model.

Purpose: To performed a histomorphometric and radiological study to evaluate the effects of alendronate sodium administered locally in mandibular bone defects created in rabbits.

Methods: Two circular defects 5 mm in diameter were created bilaterally in the mandibular corpus of 20 New Zealand rabbits (i.e.

A Biomimetic Alternative to Synthetic Hydroxyapatite: "Boron-Containing Bone-Like Hydroxyapatite" Precipitated From Simulated Body Fluid.

Background: Biological hydroxyapatite (HA), has several mechanical and physical advantages over the commercially available synthetic apatite (CAP-HA). The aim of this in vivo study was to investigate the effect of osteoinductive "bone-like hydroxyapatite" obtained from simulated body fluid (SBF) combined with osteoinductive "boron" (B) on bone healing.

Materials: Bone like nanohydroxyapatite (SBF-HA) was precipitated from 10× simulated body fluid (10×SBF).

Evaluation of the effects of platelet-rich fibrin on bone regeneration in diabetic rabbits.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of platelet-rich fibrin on bone regeneration in critical size defects in the calvaria of diabetic rabbits.

Study Design: In total, 40 male New Zealand rabbits, were divided into two groups a non-diabetic control group (Group A) and a diabetic experimental group (Group B). Two bicortical circular defects 15 mm in diameter were created in the parietal bone of each animal.
