Combination of absorbable mesh and demineralized bone matrix in orbital wall fracture for preventing herniation of orbit.

After restoration of orbit wall fracture, preventing sequelae is important. An absorbable mesh is commonly used in orbit wall fracture, yet it has limitation due to orbit sagging when bony defect is larger than the moderate size (1 × 1 cm2). In this study, the authors present a satisfactory result in treating orbit wall fracture larger than the moderate size with a combination of absorbable mesh and demineralized bone matrix.

Nasal anthropometry on facial computed tomography scans for rhinoplasty in koreans.

Although photometric analysis of the Korean nose has been attempted in the past, anthropometry of the deeper nasal structures in the same population based on computerized tomography (CT) has not been published. We therefore measured three anthropometric parameters of the nose on CT scans in our clinical series of patients.

Case Reports of Adipose-derived Stem Cell Therapy for Nasal Skin Necrosis after Filler Injection.
