The Kirschner wire (K-wire) technique for fixation of rib cartilage grafts to the maxilla is a powerful tool in rhinoplasty. It gives the nose unparalleled anterior projection. However, the technique is challenging because of poor maxillary visualization through the open rhinoplasty approach. Inaccurate K-wire placement can cause dental injury or violation of the nasal/palatal mucosa. This study evaluates...
This preliminary study was conducted to explore different analytical shape methods for use in evaluating children born with cranial vault deformities. Twenty skull outlines from patients with metopic craniosynostosis were ascribed landmarks. Scale, location, and rotational factors were removed using Procrustes analysis. A single index of severity from 0-5, with 5 being the most severe, was developed...

For children with cleft palate, oral function is impaired. The hypothesis is that the stress and strain distribution within the affected maxilla with a cleft during functional tasks such as biting and chewing is abnormal and can significantly affect bone development in the growing child. To test this hypothesis, a three-dimensional finite element model of a pediatric subject-specific maxilla with...
