Skin Expander for Scalp Reconstruction: Reappraisal of a Reconstructive Procedure for Aplasia Cutis Congenita.

Purpose: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders characterized by the absence of epidermis, dermis, appendages, subcutaneous tissue, and bone. The aim of the study is to describe a clinical report of ACC of the scalp treated with skin expanders.

Clinical Report: In October 2019, a 16-year-old female patient underwent scalp expansion with 2 rectangular devices (150 and 250 cm3; Radovan Mentor-Johnson&Johnson).

An atypical case of craniometaphyseal dysplasia. Case report and surgical treatment.

Introduction: Craniometaphyseal dysplasia is a rare hereditary bone disease presenting metaphyseal widening of the tubular bones, sclerosis of craniofacial bones and bony overgrowth of the facial and skull bones. Craniometaphyseal dysplasia occurs in an autosomal dominant (AD) and an autosomal recessive (AR) form.

Surgical treatment of the atrophic mandibular fractures by locked plates systems: our experience and a literature review.

The management of atrophic mandibular fractures in edentulous patients represents an insidious issue for the maxillofacial surgeon due to the biological and biomechanical conditions that are unfavorable for fracture fixation and bone healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of the treatment of atrophic mandibular fractures and to compare the outcomes of different plating systems used for stabilization. We selected a study group of 16 patients with fractures of completely edentulous atrophic mandibles who were treated in our department between 2004 and 2010.
