Eighty-two patients suffering from a severe deformity of the distal radius were operated on in the course of the past 7 years. The corrective osteotomy was done by implanting a corticocancellous bone graft to restore the correct angle of the joint surface and the correct length of the radius. In addition to this, a buttress T-plate was used, which could be removed 6 months later. In 80% of the cases the results with regard to the function of the patients' hands were good. The operative technique is standardized. It is possible to perform this kind of operation on patients of any age, and the procedure can check Sudeck's atrophy. When the obvious disability of the forearm is corrected the mobility of the wrist joint is simultaneously improved.

Background And Aims: Rhinoplasty, a prevalent cosmetic surgery, often involves lateral osteotomy, which can lead to ocular complications such as edema and ecchymosis. A potential complication is increased intraocular pressure (IOP) postoperatively. This study aims to investigate the impact of lateral osteotomy during rhinoplasty on IOP in patients.

Background: Nonweightbearing preoperative assessments avoid quadriceps contraction that tends to affect patellar motion and appear to be inaccurate in quantifying anatomic factors, which can lead to incorrect corrections and postoperative complications.
Questions/purposes: (1) Does the relationship of patellar axial malalignment and other anatomic factors change during weightbearing? (2) What anatomic factor was most strongly correlated with recurrent patellar dislocation during weightbearing?
Methods: This prospective, comparative, observational study recruited participants at our institution between January 2023 and September 2023. During this time, all patients with recurrent patellar dislocations received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans; control patients who received unilateral CT scans because of injuries or benign tumors received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans.
Upper airway changes after orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation.

College of Stomatology, Dalian University, Dalian, Liaoning, 116622, China.
Objectives: This study analyzed the differences in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion with and without mandibular deviation, and further investigated whether there are differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation, and 15 patients without mandibular deviation were selected to explore the impact of mandibular deviation on the upper airway. Additionally, 16 patients with mandibular deviation undergoing orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment, and 13 patients without mandibular deviation, were selected to investigate the differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
