The reconstruction of bone defects still represents a great challenge for surgeons mainly because it is aimed to properly restore the site of the defect, to maintain the motor and sensate function, and, not lastly, to recreate or maintain the aesthetics of the region. The fibular flap is a great choice for bone defect reconstruction, with a large array of clinical utilization, but insufficiently used because of its demanding technique of harvesting. The ability to transfer simultaneously bone, muscle and skin in a one-stage vascular anastomosis makes this flap even more appealing when addressing composite defects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to Romanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch (REW), lat. frater was inherited in Romance languages with one (it. frate, rom. frate) or two (fr. frère) vibrant speech sounds and with two meanings "brother" and/or „monk". Christianity loaded semantically much of the Latin lexicon, and some Romance words keep only the new meaning. The early Christians, disciples of Jesus Christ, were designated as "Christians" from outside, and as "brothers" from inside, first by Jesus Christ himself, and then between them (rom. fraţi în Hristos, fr. frères en Jésus-Christ). Lat. frater with the meaning "christian" is attested at the end of the second century and the biblical attestations make from this meaning a biblical meaning. During the fourth century AD, with the emergence of the monasticism, lat. frater is used as a title between monks (meaning "monk" attested at the end of the fourth century). Opinions are divided on the casual Latin form from which come the Romance words: nominative frater or accusative fratrem with Latin or Romance dissimilation of vibrant speech sounds. The dissimilate form conserved in Sardinian, the Protoromance and Romance semantic variation in kinship and religious field are just a few reasons for formal and semantic reconstruction of Protorom. */'fratr-e/, using comparative grammar reconstruction developped in the project Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom). The purpose of this paper is to highlight the reconstructive method as a complementary method to the traditional Romance etymology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Microtia is an uncommon pathology that is defined by a hypoplasia of the pinna. Multiple reconstructive surgeries have been developed. Nowadays, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and Medpor implant reconstruction are the most widely used techniques. Total ear reconstruction for microtia depends on the degree of severity of hypoplasia. The goal is the reconstruction of an auricle with an appearance as close as possible to that of a normal ear. Even though the auricle is only a small part of the body, it is probably one of the most complex structures. That is why ear reconstruction is one of the most difficult tasks for a plastic surgeon. In this paper, we present a four-stage ear reconstruction in a case of a five-year-old girl with microtia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The key elements in order to understand the interrelationships between the vital bone and different implant devices are represented by the acknowledging the bone formation process and structural components of the osseous tissue, of the evolution dynamics and bone reactivity towards different favourable and unfavourable influences, of the determining factors for the bone structure and reconstruction. Factors that disadvantage the osteogenetic potential are: age, nutritional diseases, endocrinopathies, ionizing radiation treatment, alcoholism and tabacosis. In stimulating and favouring osteogenesis and osteo reconstruction are used: tissue grafts, osteo substituents, growth hormones stimulating osteoblast function, materials guiding osteogenesis, hydroxyapatite and phosphorus-calcium materials as well as tissue growth factors specific to the bony tissue. For the process of implantation on some different devices in orthopedic practice, examination of the structure and bone density offers important information regarding osseointegration perspectives of future implants.

The main objectives of the restoration of mandibula are three-dimensional reconstruction and functionality reestablishing, with minimal functional disorders and maintaining control of the disease. Currently we focus on reducing costs related to the effectiveness of the method of reconstruction. For these reasons, the ideal method of reconstruction is still controversial. There are a variety of techniques described in the literature, using both the autologous graft and the alloplastic materials. In this article we approach a technique originally used in our clinic with good results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Patients with large oral and cervical defects after excision of malignant tumors will present different degrees of functional and esthetic impairement. From the myriad of reconstructive options the sternocleidomastoidian muscle flap becomes an accessible, easy to perform and predictable solution. The major criteria of exclusion from the reconstructive plan is represented by the adherent cervical adenopaties to the muscle. Being a versatile solution it can be used in composite defects utilizing skin, fascia, muscle and even bone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducere. Grefele sunt utilizate pentru reconstrucţia septului nazal, a valvei nazale interne sau în situaţii mai complexe (valvă internă, vârf nazal, alare). Colapsul valvei nazale apare din cauza deficienţelor structurale ale pererelui lateral nazal. Etiologia poate fi congenitală, traumatică sau iatrogenă, după rinoseptoplastii. Există mai multe tehnici chirurgicale de reconstrucţie care utilizează grefe: pentru cartilaje alare, pentru septul nazal, tip fluture, expansoare. Material şi metodă. Materiale pentru grefe: cartilaj septal, auricular şi grefe aloplastice. Tipurile de grefe utilizate au fost pentru vâful nasului, pentru dorsul nazal, grefe expansoare pentru colapsul valvei interne, grefe de reconstrucţie septală şi a cartilajelor alare. Numărul de cazuri cu grefe: 215, toate cu deviaţie de sept. Patologia nazală a fost reprezentată de nasuri laterodeviate, cifotice, colaps nazal median, nas „în şa". Rezultate. Aproximativ 80% din cazuri au prezentat stabilitate postoperatorie, atât din punct de vedere funcţional, cât şi estetic. Au fost necesare şi reintervenţii corectorii. Concluzii. Grefele cartilaginoase au rol important pentru refacerea unghiului normal al valvei nazale interne şi a liniei estetice a dorsulul nazal. Grefele autologe sunt de preferat materialelor aloplastice. Cartilajul septal reprezintă prima alegere în chirurgia nazală. Cartilajul auricular este, în anumite situaţii, o foarte bună alternativă. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
