Technical Maneuvers to Decrease Warping of Peripheral Costal Cartilage Grafts

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2016
Background: Cartilage warping has plagued reconstructive and cosmetic rhinoplasty since the introduction of extraanatomical cartilage use. The authors’ group theorized that, rather than focusing on the prevention of the innate tendency of rib graft warping, it may be possible to redirect the stressors toward themselves and use ...

Costal cartilage graft with perichondrium, a possible anti-adhesive material

Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2016
Adhesion occurs as a part of the wound healing process, but it sometimes compromises patients' daily activities. The authors were looking for materials and methods that could prevent adhesion, and noticed that the costal cartilage has possibility. The anti-adhesive property of the costal cartilage was examined histologically.Thirty-five patients with ...

Arthroplasty of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Using Costal Cartilage Grafts

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1992
Seven intra-articular fractures in five patients with partial bone loss at the PIP joint were reconstructed using a graft of costal cartilage. In all cases there were total or partial cartilagenous defects of the proximal phalangeal side of the joint. Early treatment of two joints, using only costal cartilage grafts, resulted in bony ankylosis due to ...

AUTOLOGOUS COSTAL CARTILAGE AND PRESERVED COSTAL CARTILAGE AS GRAFT MATERIAL IN ASIAN RHINOPLASTY

Vestnik of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University
A retrospective clinical study was conducted among patients who underwent rhinoseptoplasty using autologous costal cartilage or preserved costal cartilage. In the clinic of plastic and reconstructive surgery "MAXCLINIC" for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, Asian rhinoplasty was performed on 114 patients.

Tensile Characteristics of Costal and Septal Cartilages Used as Graft Materials

Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, 2011
To determine the biomechanical characteristics of septal cartilage (SC) and costal cartilage (CC) taken from fresh cadavers using tensile testing and to establish CC graft material of a suitable thickness (ie, with tensile characteristics closest to those of SC).Grafts of varying thickness were harvested from the central part of the seventh-rib CC and ...

Chest Wall Deformities and Thoracic Scoliosis after Costal Cartilage Graft Harvesting

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1997
Donor-site complications, specifically chest wall deformities and thoracic scoliosis, occurring after harvest of costal cartilage grafts are presented and discussed. The cases of 18 patients (12 male and 6 female), who underwent costal cartilage grafts for microtia reconstruction from 1975 to 1993, were reviewed for donor-site complications using ...

Reconstruction of Saddle Nose Deformity With Three-Dimensional Costal Cartilage Graft

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2007
Saddle nose deformity is characterized by depression of the nasal bone and the cartilage dorsum associated with a collapse in the upper lateral and alar cartilages. Etiopathogenesis usually involves trauma or invasive excision of the bone and cartilage. Surgical treatment for functional and aesthetic recovery relies on the use of grafts.

Treatment of Postreconstructive Collapsed Nasal Ala with a Costal Cartilage Graft

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1988
A technique to restore the skeletal support of the postreconstruction collapsed ala is proposed. This makes use of the elastic characteristic of costal cartilage to provide a natural spring to elevate the ala and thereby enlarge the nostril. Three illustrative cases are described.

Irradiated Homologous Costal Cartilage Grafts in Complex Functional Septorhinoplasty

Facial Plastic Surgery
Abstract Optimal results in complex nasal reconstruction, particularly in the context of post-traumatic and revision septorhinoplasty, often require the use of cartilage grafts to provide additional structural support to the nose. While autologous costal cartilage (ACC) has been traditionally used, this can be limited by donor site ...

Outcomes of Autologous Versus Irradiated Homologous Costal Cartilage Graft in Rhinoplasty

Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine
Background: Autologous costal cartilage (ACC) and irradiated homologous costal cartilage (IHCC) are commonly used in septorhinoplasty when there is insufficient septal cartilage for grafting. Objective: To assess the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent septorhinoplasty with either ACC or IHCC as measured by rates of infection, resorption ...
