Pullout Performance Comparison of Novel Expandable Pedicle Screw With Expandable Poly-Ether Shells and Cement-Augmented Pedicle Screws

, 2017
Aim of this study is to assess the pullout performance of various pedicle screws in different test materials. Polyurethane foams (Grade 10 and Grade 40) produced in laboratory and bovine vertebrae were instrumented with normal, cannulated (cemented ...

Biologic gracilis augmentation with iliotibial band enhances recovery and lowers complications in ACL reconstruction compared with hamstring plus lateral tenodesis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the iliotibial band autograft biologically augmented with gracilis (ITBAG) technique with a hamstring tendon autograft combined with extra‐articular lateral tenodesis using fascia lata (HT‐LET), in terms of (1) return‐to‐sport rates, (2) patient‐reported functional outcomes and (3) complication rates.

Autologous Mastoid Cortex Bone Graft for Multilayer Repair of Lateral Skull Base Defects

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Multilayer repair of lateral skull base cerebrospinal fluid leaks and encephaloceles can be reinforced with rigid autologous grafts. Harvesting a monocortical mastoid cortex bone graft is effective and easy to implement without conferring additional morbidity.

Superior Labial Artery Flap for Septal Perforation Repair: The Boxer's Flap

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The nasal floor flap, or Boxer's flap, is an anteriorly pedicled, superior labial artery–based mucosal flap that provides excellent closure rates in septal perforation repair when traditional septal flaps are not feasible. The schematic shows: (A) preoperative perforation, (B) nasal floor flap elevation (with the pedicle maintained at the inferior ...

Success of Anterior Ethmoidal Artery Flaps for Nasal Septal Perforation Repair: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair using the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap is an emerging endoscopic technique with an overall closure success rate of 84.6%. The AEA flap is a reliable endoscopic technique for repairing NSPs < 2.5 cm. Emerging AEA flap modifications may further improve outcomes, while enabling repair of larger perforations ...

Cranial Vault and Scalp Reconstruction Utilizing Anterolateral Thigh Free Tissue Transfer

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The anterolateral thigh free flap with perforator harvest and minimal access recipient vessel procurement technique offers an adaptable and effective reconstructive option for a wide variety of complex scalp and cranial vault defects. There were no significant differences in outcomes or complications of the three flap types analyzed (fasciocutaneous ...

How I Do It: Nasoseptal Flap for Reconstruction of Isolated Soft Palate Defect

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A vascularized nasoseptal flap (NSF) provides a novel transnasal option for repairing soft palatal fistulas when traditional transoral flaps have failed or are unavailable, potentially avoiding the morbidity of regional or free tissue transfer. In the current patient who had an 8 × 6 mm soft palatal fistula, the NSF was harvested from the septum and ...

Nasolabial Flap in Oncologic Oral Cavity Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The nasolabial flap provides a reliable local reconstructive option for selected small‐ to oncologic oral cavity defects, with low flap‐related complications and minimal donor‐site morbidity. Outcomes should nevertheless be interpreted according to defect characteristics, flap design, and the predominantly retrospective nature of the available evidence.

Petrocosmea wentsaii sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) from Guizhou, China

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Petrocosmea wentsaii M.Q. Han, Miao.M. Wang & Yan Liu, a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. Petrocosmea wentsaii was found on damp walls in a huge limestone cave. It is most similar to Petrocosmea hexiensis S.Z. Zhang & Z.Y. Liu in the conformation of the corolla.
