Preoperative use of nasal conformers in patients with unilateral incomplete cleft lip not only corrects the deformed nasal cartilage but also increases the CH and improves the overall preoperative nasal symmetry. In addition, compared with NAM, this method costs less, is more straightforward, and requires fewer outpatient clinic visits.

The results of this study showed that combining PDBM and autologous culture-expanded MSC restored bone stock and enhanced bone ingrowth into the porous-coated area in a canine non-weight-bearing gap model. This combination may provide an option for reconstructing bone defect when we perform a cementless revision arthroplasty.
