The depressor septi muscle leads this deformity. The dermocartilaginous ligament originates from the fascia of the upper third of the nose and extends down to the medial crus, merging into the depressor septi muscle.

- This study examined if confusion over the acceptable angulation value in fifth metacarpal neck fractures arises from poor-quality hand radiographs taken in non-standard oblique positions.
- They placed two Kirshner wires at a 50-degree angle and captured radiographs at varying angles (0, 30, 45, and 60 degrees) without moving the setup.
- The results showed a significant discrepancy in the measured angles on the radiographs, highlighting the need for standardized imaging procedures to ensure more accurate assessments of these fractures.
Objective: The use of perioperative erythropoietin (EPO) therapy is gaining popularity to avoid blood transfusion and correct anemia in head and neck cancer surgery. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of various doses and durations of EPO treatment on random flap survival.
Study Design: A McFarlane type random and musculocutaneous (3 x 10 cm) flap were elevated on the dorsum of each rat.
