This retrospective study reviewed 28 patients, aged 10 to 17 years, who underwent corrective osteotomy for malunion of the proximal phalangeal distal condyles at a mean of 9 weeks (range 2-52) from injury. There were 19 patients treated with K-wire and nine patients with locking plates. The two groups were comparable for trauma mechanism, fracture type, time delay from injury and the type of initial treatment. The K-wire group had a shorter duration of operation and shorter time to union than the plating group. For both groups, postoperative radiographs showed significant correction, which remained unchanged until the final follow-up (minimum 12 months), although greater residual coronal angulation was found in the K-wire group. The outcomes in 17 of the 28 patients were graded as excellent or good according to the Al-Qattan classification, with no difference between the groups. The complication rate was also similar between the groups, while the locking plate group had a higher rate of secondary surgery. III.

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.

Department of Radiology, Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children/Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, PR China.
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.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
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.
