Body Feminization Combining Large-Volume Fat Grafting and Gluteal Implants.

Background: With the increase in popularity of fat transfer to the buttocks in body contouring surgery, new patient subsets are emerging. The gender confirmation patient has specific characteristics that must be addressed to achieve the best outcomes.

Methods: The authors performed an observational prospective study including 36 consecutive patients who underwent body feminization as a gender affirming operation using large-volume fat transplantation with or without gluteal implants.

Traumatic injuries to the hand and wrist in youth elite handball are most frequently localised to the thumb and proximal interphalangeal joints.

Introduction: Hand and wrist injuries have been described as the second most common severe injuries in handball. However, no evidence exists regarding the specific characteristics of these injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the injury pattern of hand and wrist injuries in youth handball.

Factors associated with abutment screw loosening in single implant supported crowns: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Implant restorations are considered an ideal treatment option for replacement of missing teeth in partially edentulous patients. Abutment screw loosening is one of the frequently observed technical complications of implant-supported prosthesis. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with the abutment screw loosening in cement-retained single-implant crowns.

Significance of the Marginal Mandibular Branch in Relation to Facial Palsy Reconstruction: Assessment of Microanatomy and Macroanatomy Including Axonal Load in 96 Facial Halves.

Background: The marginal mandibular branch (MMB) of the facial nerve provides lower lip symmetry apparent during human smile or crying and is mandatory for vocal phonation. In treating facial palsy patients, so far, little attention is directed at the MMB in facial reanimation surgery. However, isolated paralysis may occur congenital, in Bell's palsy or iatrogenic during surgery, prone to its anatomical course.

Anatomical study of the zygomatic and buccal branches of the facial nerve: Application to facial reanimation procedures.

The facial nerve is responsible for any facial expression channeling human emotions. Facial paralysis causes asymmetry, lagophthalmus, oral incontinence, and social limitations. Facial dynamics may be re-established with cross-face-nerve-grafts (CFNG).
