Background: The reconstruction of zygoma is a challenge with regard to aesthetic and reconstructive demands.

Methods: Pre-operative CT data were imported into specific surgical planning software. The mirror-imaging technique was used. A surgical guide transferred the virtual surgery plan to the operation site, whereby it fitted uniquely to the iliac donor site. A postoperative CT scan was obtained for comparing the actual postoperative graft position and shape with the pre-operative virtual simulation.

Results: A mean difference of 0.71 mm (SD ± 1.42) for the shape analysis and 3.53 mm (SD ± 3.14) for the graft position was determined. The calculation of the closest point distance showed a surface deviation of < 2 mm for the shape analysis with 83.6% of values and for the graft position with 35.7% of values.

Conclusion: Virtual surgical planning is a suitable method for zygoma reconstruction with vascularized iliac crest bone graft, with good accuracy for restoring the three-dimensional anatomy.

Purpose: To clarify the femoral tunnel location for a virtual anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft to simulate the native ACL.

Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were obtained in 14 normal knees in full extension. Two types of virtual triple bundle ACL grafts (VACLG) were created.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors that may cause postoperative otomycosis in patients undergoing Chronic Nonsuppurative Otitis Media (CNSOM) surgery.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 409 out of 523 patients met the inclusion criteria. 44 patients diagnosed with otomycosis CNSOM were analyzed.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stress techniques-including single-leg stress radiographs, Telos, and KT-1000 arthrometer-are highly accessible and can provide additional diagnostic information to assess ACL and ACL graft integrity. The degree of anterior tibial translation (ATT) may be useful in guiding treatment when a diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging is not conclusive or for judging if additional treatments, such as anterolateral complex augmentation, may be necessary.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing posterior tibial slope (PTS) on baseline tibial position (BTP) and side-to-side differences (SSD) in ATT.

Background: The penile suspensory ligament (PSL) plays a significant role in penile support and erection and its injury or congenital absence may result in functional impairment of erectile function.

Aim: To describe the diagnosis and surgical repair technique for PSL abnormalities and overall outcomes.

Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to understand the anatomic relevance of the PSL and historical management of PSL defects.

Umbilical Cord Amniotic Membrane Graft as a Skin Substitute in Periocular Reconstruction: A Case Series.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

January 2025

Kahana Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery, Livonia, Michigan.

Loss of periocular skin due to cancer, trauma, or surgery is a major reconstructive challenge; resultant tissue contracture can cause eyelid malposition with poor functional and aesthetic outcomes. We describe the successful use of cryopreserved umbilical cord amniotic membrane as a wound covering and scaffold for periorbital anterior lamellar defects. This is a retrospective case series of 4 patients (mean 21 years, range 9-30 years, 3 male) who underwent periocular reconstruction with umbilical cord amniotic membrane of 9 different sites.
