Cet implant (42) est concu pour proteger les defauts du tissu biologique, en particulier les defauts osseux (49) dans le squelette des mammiferes, contre l'interposition de tissus mous adjacents (57) pendant le processus de reparation in vivo. Cette membrane (42) comporte des pores (46) ayant des diametres compris entre 20 microns et 3 000 microns. Cette porosite est telle que les tissus vasculaires (61) et les cellules du tissu conjonctif derivees des tissus mous adjacents, notamment du perioste (64), peuvent proliferer de maniere a traverser la membrane (42) pour penetrer dans le defaut osseux (49). L'epaisseur de cette feuille (42) est telle qu'elle offre a la fois une flexibilite suffisante pour permettre a la feuille (42) d'etre faconnee pour qu'elle se conforme a la configuration d'une region (55) du squelette a reparer ...

Although well established in the face and abdomen, these folding lines are often disputable on other parts of the body. Striae distensae always develop perpendicular to lines of tension, and their direction can be used to determine optimal incision lines. The authors examined photographs of 213 individuals with striae, and a composite diagram was created. This composite along with descriptions of Langer lines, Pinkus main folding lines, and Kraissl lines were compared with a clinical scar revision database and 276 images of incisions and scars from the Internet. Pinkus described the main folding lines in 1927 and Kraissl in 1951 recommended that incision lines be placed perpendicular to the direction of underlying muscles. Both references bear some similarities to what we noted in our composites. In comparison, Langer lines, although of historical inte...

Several of the benefits of coralline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitutes, such as safety and biocompatibility, will be addressed in this article, part of an ongoing ...

Patient satisfaction is the goal, but proof of the value of a particular product requires objective measurement. A wrinkle assessment scale was developed as a simple tool for use by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aesthetic surgeons who want to assess the changes resulting from injecting filler materials in their patients. By correlating the grade of the wrinkle in the reference photographs with the wrinkle in a patient's face, a classification of 0 to 5 is assigned. Reliability of the scale was assessed by "live" judgment of 76 wrinkles by nine observers. The same rating was given to 92.7 percent of all wrinkles. In a second trial, photographs from 130 wrinkles were presented to eight observers who rated 89.4 percent of all wrinkles equally. A significant correlation of 87 percent was found between subjective rat...

By applying mechanical protection of bony defects with, e.g. membranes or titanium mesh, soft tissue prolapse as well as pressure on bone transplants which contributes to partial resorption can be avoided. The use of a pressure-resistant, resorbable, macroporous sheet combines the advantage of protected bone regeneration and complete resorption of the implanted sheet. The macroporous structure facilitates capillary ingrowth from the surrounding soft tissue. The sheet is made of 70:30 Poly(L-co-DL)-lactate with thermoplastic character and can be used as a container for autologous spongiosa or other osteoinductive and -conductive bone graft substitutes. In a pilot study, seven patients with lower jaw defects resulting from large cysts or tumor resections, some affecting the continuity of the mandible, were treated w...
