To evaluate the advantages of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) virtual non-hydroxyapatite color mapping (VNHAP) in combination with standard bone CT (BCT) in the identification of subtle or occult traumatic fractures referred to emergency and acceptance departments (DEAs). Forty patients (22 men; mean age 83 ± 23.7 y) with suspected traumatic fractures referred to our emergency department and examined with a fast kilovoltage-switching single-source spectral CT scan between January and October 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: HA/CaHa (HArmonyCa, Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie Company) is a hybrid injectable filler developed for aesthetic purposes that contains calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a hyaluronic acid gel. This review describes preclinical and clinical data, recommendations for use based on the primary author's clinical experience, and case studies that illustrate implementation of product use recommendations and patient outcomes.
Methods: Preclinical data on the lift capacity and tissue integration of the HA/CaHa hybrid injectable and clinical data on its safety, efficacy, and real-world use were extracted from poster presentations, published literature, manufacturer instructions for use, and proprietary data files.
