Secondary Reconstruction of Posttraumatic Enophthalmos with Titanium Mesh and Buccal Fat Pad Graft: Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Secondary enophthalmos caused by an untreated orbital blowout fracture can cause esthetic and functional disturbances. The esthetic defect is manifested by sinking of the superior sulcus and the hypophthalmic globe. Functional impairment of the eye can usually be a common complaint with restriction of eye motion and diplopia. Early diagnosis followed by repair of surgically correctable fractures is the most acceptable procedure. Failure in the primary treatment may cause scar contraction and fat atrophy. The aim of this paper is to report a case of a late treatment of blowout orbital floor fracture with secondary enophthalmos using titanium mesh and buccal fat pad graft.

Facial defects reconstruction by titanium mesh bending using 3D printing technology: A report of two cases

Project description:Introduction Facial injuries and deformities have received special attention during the previous decades for their functional, esthetic impairment, surgical challenges related to the location of the intervention, and their relationship to a lower survival rate. Moreover, there have been many surgical reconstructive methods due to the different materials and tools available and thus the final results following the surgical intervention. Case presentation This study was conducted on two patients with severe war injuries; they both suffered from a significant loss in one or more of the following bones: the zygomatic bone, maxilla, nasal bone, infraorbital rim, and mandible. They were treated using preshaped 3D titanium mesh implants that were made using polylactic acid (PLA) material. The final shape was identified depending on pregenerated multislice 3D modeling using computed tomography (CT) scan. Clinical discussion and conclusion The patient-specific titanium implants produced using polylactic acid (PLA) have been an important option for reconstructive surgical interventions in facial injuries. It has achieved a better outcome in comparison with manual bent titanium mesh in terms of anatomical symmetry, overall operating time, functional and esthetic impairment. These points helped achieve better care for both civilian and war injuries associated with bone loss. Highlights • Facial injuries are of significant consideration especially during war time.• Using titanium plates has increased due to its biocompatibility and rigid fixation.• A printing model for the skull using polylactic acid is a successful approach.• Pre-shaped mesh plates reveal better surgical outcomes.

What is the Fate of the Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad Flap When Used During Primary Palatoplasty?

Project description:AbstractPedicled buccal fat pad flaps have more recently been applied to primary cleft palate reconstruction, and yet the integrity of the flap and the long-term impact on the palate has not yet been studied. This case study uses magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the composition of the soft palate 5 years after the interpositional placement of bilateral pedicled buccal fat pad flaps during primary palatoplasty. Anatomical measures are used to quantify the flap and surrounding velopharynx using magnetic resonance imaging and three-dimensional computer technology, indicating that this surgical technique may have a lasting impact for children with cleft palate.

Orbital wall reconstruction with titanium mesh: retrospective study of 24 patients.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traumatic orbital defect reconstruction with titanium mesh. A retrospective study was made. Evaluations were made after a minimum postoperative follow-up of 12 months, looking for the main complications. Twenty-four patients were included in this evaluation; 19 were male (79.1%) and 5 (20.8%) were female. The main injury etiology was vehicle accidents (50%) followed by other causes. Fourteen patients (58.3%) presented orbital floor fractures, and 10 had more than one wall fractured (41.6%). Permanent infraorbital nerve hypoesthesia was observed in two patients (8.3%), enophthalmos occurred in five patients (20.8%), and exophthalmos was found in two patients (8.3%). Four patients (16.6%) still presented evidence of residual prolapsed intraorbital content, and one of those needed further surgical correction; sinusitis occurred in one patient (4.1%). Titanium mesh is a reliable option for orbital reconstruction, despite some complications found in this sample.

Use of titanium mesh for middle cranial fossa skull base reconstruction.

Project description:Objectives Temporal bone encephaloceles are usually encountered in the setting of a congenital defect of the tegmen or as an acquired defect after mastoid surgery. A variety of methods have been described in the literature for rigid reconstruction of tegmen defects. We introduce a new method of repair using orbital floor titanium mesh reconstruction plates to reconstruct the floor of the middle cranial fossa, and evaluate the outcomes, complications, and recurrence rates of temporal bone encephaloceles with this technique. Design Retrospective chart review of consecutively treated patients. Setting Tertiary care academic center. Participants Eight patients with middle cranial fossa skull base defects from January 2007 to February 2011. Main Outcome Measures Outcome measures included resolution of cerebrospinal fluid leak (CSF) and development of postoperative infection. Results One of nine patients had a postoperative CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leak. There were no long-term complications of CSF leak or infection. Conclusions Titanium mesh is a safe and effective substitute for bone grafts in reconstruction of the middle cranial fossa skull base when rigid reconstruction is required.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction Using Graft Augmentation and Titanium Implants.

Project description:Several techniques have been introduced to treat acromioclavicular separation with coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using graft augmentation. A modified arthroscopic technique for coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction was used based on a previous technique where the supportive device and tendon graft share the clavicular and coracoid drill holes. A notable problem with the previous technique was large protruding suture knots on the washer and clavicle, which could predispose to wound infection. In this modified technique, titanium implants were introduced. The implants hid the suture knot on the clavicle, and less foreign material was needed between the clavicular and coracoid implants.

Spheno-orbital meningioma resection and reconstruction: the role of piezosurgery and premolded titanium mesh.

Project description:We present the clinical case of a patient with a spheno-orbital meningioma. Literature review of the treatment options, including the application of piezoelectric or ultrasound surgery and orbital reconstruction after meningioma resection, is also presented. Complete resection was performed by means of a frontotemporal craniotomy and an orbitozygomatic approach. Piezoelectric osteotomy was used around the optic nerve canal and the superior orbital fissure to minimize the damage to soft tissues. Orbital wall reconstruction was done using a titanium mesh previously premolded using a skull model. The superior orbital rim was reconstructed with calvarial bone grafts, and the sphenotemporal bone defect was covered with a titanium mesh cranioplasty. Ultrasonic vibrations to perform osteotomies in craniofacial surgery provide an interesting tool to reduce damage to surrounding soft tissues. Reconstruction of the roof and lateral orbital wall with premolded titanium meshes with a skull model is a safe and easy method to achieve a good orbital reconstruction and to avoid secondary sequelae.

Quality of life after reconstruction of traumatic orbital floor defects using titanium mesh and medpore: A randomised controlled trial.

Project description:Aim and objectivesThe aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of orbital floor reconstruction with two types of orbital implants and assess patients' quality of life.Material and methods39 sequential patients with clinical and radiological evidence of orbital floor fracture, presenting diplopia, enophthalmos, paraesthesia or a post traumatic residual orbital deformity were included in this study and randomised for orbital floor reconstruction using porous polyethylene sheet (Biopore™) or preshaped titanium mesh on a 3D model. Their pre and postoperative quality of life were compared. Success rate was assessed and scored with a minimum of zero (none) and a maximum of ten (excellent) for improvement in the signs of diplopia, enophthalmos, hypoglobus, paraesthesia and aesthetics.ResultsBoth QOL scores and Success score was greater in cases which reconstruction of orbital floor was performed with preshaped titanium mesh as compared to those with Biopore™.ConclusionPreshaped titanium mesh shows better results than reconstruction with Biopore™. However a large sample size and a long term follow up is needed for generating the best evidence. Quality of life extensively improves after orbital floor reconstruction motivating the patients desire to live.

Murine Mammary fat pad on high fat diet

Project description:Younger age and obesity increase the incidence and rates of metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive subtype of breast cancer. The tissue microenvironment, specifically the extracellular matrix (ECM), is known to promote tumor invasion and metastasis. We sought to characterize the effect of both age and obesity on the ECM of mammary fat pads. We used a diet-induced obesity (DIO) model where 10-week-old female mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks or a control chow diet (CD) where time points were every 4 weeks to monitor age and obesity HFD progression. We isolated the mammary fat pads to characterize the ECM at each time point. Utilizing proteomics, we found that the early stages of obesity were sufficient to induce distinct differences in the ECM composition of mammary fat pads that promote TNBC cell invasion. ECM proteins previously implicated in driving TNBC invasion Collagen IV and Collagen VI, were enriched with weight gain. Together these data implicate ECM changes in the primary tumor microenvironment as mechanisms by which age and obesity contribute to breast cancer progression.

Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Identifies Infrapatellar Fat Pad Macrophage Polarization in Acute Synovitis/Fat Pad Fibrosis and Cell Therapy.

Project description:The pathogenesis and progression of knee inflammatory pathologies is modulated partly by residing macrophages in the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP), thus, macrophage polarization towards pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes is important in joint disease pathologies. Alteration of M1/M2 balance contributes to the initiation and progression of joint inflammation and can be potentially altered with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy. In an acute synovial/IFP inflammation rat model a single intra-articular injection of IFP-MSC was performed, having as controls (1) diseased rats not receiving IFP-MSC and (2) non-diseased rats. After 4 days, cell specific transcriptional profiling via single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on isolated IFP tissue from each group. Eight transcriptomically distinct cell populations were identified within the IFP across all three treatment groups with a noted difference in the proportion of myeloid cells across the groups. Largely myeloid cells consisted of macrophages (>90%); one M1 sub-cluster highly expressing pro-inflammatory markers and two M2 sub-clusters with one of them expressing higher levels of canonical M2 markers. Notably, the diseased samples (11.9%) had the lowest proportion of cells expressing M2 markers relative to healthy (14.8%) and MSC treated (19.4%) samples. These results suggest a phenotypic polarization of IFP macrophages towards the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in an acute model of inflammation, which are alleviated by IFP-MSC therapy inducing a switch towards an alternate M2 status. Understanding the IFP cellular heterogeneity and associated transcriptional programs may offer insights into novel therapeutic strategies for disabling joint disease pathologies.
