CBCT Analysis of the Hyoid and Pharyngeal Airway Changes in Class III Patients With Orthognathic Surgery.

Aim: This study was designed to investigate the response of the respiratory structures to orthognathic surgery in patients with Class III malocclusion, with a specific emphasis on the vertical placement of the hyoid bone. The correlations of these changes were also analysed, followed by further subgroup analyses based on preoperative conditions.

Materials And Methods: Dolphin software was used to obtain cephalometric landmarks, airway and hyoid bone measurements from pre- and postoperative CBCT scans of 31 patients.

Results of the osteochondral autologous transplantation for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus with harvesting from the ipsilateral talar articular facets.

Purpose: There are few studies on the clinical outcomes of osteochondral autologous transplantation (OAT) harvesting from local talar non-weight-bearing articular facets for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs). The purpose of this study was to review the short- to midterm outcomes of our patients who were treated with OAT harvesting from ipsilateral talar articular facets for OLTs.

Methods: Between December 2010 and November 2018, 24 patients were enrolled in this study.
