The shape of the jawline from the mandibular angle to its most forward point at the chin has a profound effect on an individual's appearance and is an area of concern for many seeking esthetic procedures. Dermal filler injections alone or in combination with other modalities, such as skin tightening energy devices, allow enhancement of the jawline while avoiding the need for surgical procedures. The authors introduce new anatomical zones and nomenclature to enhance safety and outcome when enhancing the jawline. Cadaver dissections were performed to better understand landmarks and potential risks and a topographic guide proposed to assist clinicians to create an esthetically pleasing jawline. Techniques for jawline rejuvenation with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and high G prime hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are described. When considered as an esthetic unit, the jawline can be broken down into masseteric, buccal, and mental zones, each with their own injection protocols and safety considerations. Dermal fillers suitable for jawline rejuvenation include either CaHA with or without integral lidocaine, a high G prime HA filler, or a hybrid mixture of CaHA and HA, depending on the desired esthetic outcome and the individual's needs. Small volumes of product per injection point achieve the most natural esthetic outcome and minimize serious adverse events. With these techniques, the angle of the mandible is better defined, the pre- and postjowl hollows are filled, and as a result the jawline appears visibly straighter. CaHA and high G prime HA fillers are effective nonsurgical treatments for redefining the mandibular angle and straightening the contour of the jaw. For optimal results, the jawline should be considered as an esthetic unit and careful consideration paid to anatomical landmarks that influence efficacy and safety.
Introduction: Knee is a major weight bearing joint of the lower limb consequently any fractures involving the proximal tibia will definitely compromise the knee function and stability. They account for only for 1% of all fractures and 8% of fractures in the elderly1.Fractures of proximal tibia have always been difficult to treat because of the subcutaneous location of its anteromedial surface. These days significant attention has been paid to the condition of soft tissue envelope. With the advent of newer implants and minimally invasive techniques, complex tibial plateau fractures which were once considered difficult to treat, are now having successful outcomes. Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the results of Surgical Management of tibial plateau Fractures with Locking Compression Plate. Methods: A prospective study was done on thirty patients of proximal tibial fractures treated by locking compression plate in Orthopaedic Department of Mediciti institute of medical sciences, Medchal. Duration of study was from October 2017 to March 2019. We included patients of both the genders from 18 to 70 years of age, those were treated with locking compression plates for intra-articular and extraarticular fractures of proximal tibia. However, type II and Type III open fractures (Gustilo Anderson), pathological fractures and patients with severe comorbidities were excluded from the study. Ethics committee approval was obtained. Informed written consent was taken. Data was collected from the patients. Results: Majority of the patients with Tibial plateau fractures i.e., 8 patients (40%) were in the age group of 30-39 years. The youngest patient was 19 years and oldest patient was 58 years. Mean age in this study was 34 years. Road traffic accident was the cause for this fracture in most of the patients. All our patients were operated under spinal anesthesia with LCP for Tibial plateau fractures. MIPPO approach was used in 14 patients and open reduction was done in 6 patients. 14 patients (70%) were placed a single plate and 6 patients (30%) were done dual plating. In 1patient (5%) delayed union occurred.15 patients (75%) had excellent functional outcome, good functional outcome in 3 patients (15%) and fair functional outcome in 2 (10%) patient. Conclusion:From this study, we concluded Tibial plateau LCP system is an exciting new method of osteosynthesis for complex tibial plateau fractures allowing early mobilization and good functional outcome with limited number of complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
