Conditions such as congenital abnormalities, cancer, infections, and trauma can severely impact the integrity of the auricular cartilage, resulting in the need for a replacement structure. Current implants, carved from the patient's rib, involve multiple surgeries and carry risks of adverse events such as contamination, rejection, and reabsorption. Tissue engineering aims to develop lifelong auricular bioimplants using different methods, different cell types, growth factors and maintenance media formulations, and scaffolding materials compatible with the host.

Backgound: The positioning of the reconstructed ear in ear reconstruction is a crucial step that directly affects the surgical outcome.This study employs the residual ear tissue as a reference, in conjunction with three-dimensional(3D)printing model of the normal ear's mirror image corresponding to the microtia ear, to facilitate precise positioning during the reconstruction of the ear.
Methods: This study established a 3D model group and a control group.
Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) affects around 1.7 billion people globally, causing significant physical, psychological, and economic burdens. Current treatments often involve medications with risks, creating an urgent need for accessible alternatives.
