Introduction: Various clinical situations may require an important increase of the size of the nose. The aim of our work was to analyze long-term results of calvarial bone grafts used in rhinoplasties.
Material And Method: We retrospectively studied the files of 20 patients having undergone a calvarial bone graft. Photogrammetry was used to determine morphological modifications and the stability of results.
Results: The average follow-up was 8 years. The parietal donor site morbidity was low. All nose sizes were dramatically augmented and the stability of results ranged between 74.5 and 95%.
Discussion: The calvarial bone graft can be used for important nose augmentation with a good stability. There are few alternative techniques. This method is only limited by available skin and endonasal lining. Calvarial bone graft in rhinoplasty is not frequent but it is our first choice for the correction of important hypoplasia or saddling of the nose.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used as a bone graft. However, information on the head-to-head osteoinductivity and in vivo performance of micro- and nanosized natural and synthetic HA is still lacking. Here, we fabricated nanosized bovine HA (nanoBHA) by using a wet ball milling method and compared its in vitro and in vivo performance with microsized BHA, nanosized synthetic HA (nanoHA), and microsized synthetic HA (HA).

Under benign conditions, bone tissue can regenerate itself without external intervention. However, this regenerative capacity can be compromised by various factors, most importantly related with the extent of the injury. Critical-sized defects, exceeding the body's natural healing ability, demand the use of temporary or permanent devices like artificial joints or bone substitutes.

Background: This study evaluates the effects of ozone on hard and soft tissue healing when a free tissue flap is used to close wound areas lacking primary closure over autogenous grafted sites.
Methods: In our study, 24 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: two control groups and two ozone-treated groups. All rats underwent the same surgical procedure.

Erdheim-Chester Disease is a rare systemic xanthogranulomatous infiltrating disease, characterized by lipid-laden histiocytes accumulating in various organs and almost always in bones. Etiology of the disease is still unknown. It may involve various organs and systems, such as musculoskeletal, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal and central nervous system (CNS) as well as the skin.

Bone defects are difficult to treat clinically and most often require bone grafting for repair. However, the source of autograft bone is limited, and allograft bone carries the risk of disease transmission and immune rejection. As tissue engineering technology advances, bone replacement materials are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of bone defects.
