Optimal functional outcomes after bionic reconstruction in patients with global brachial plexus injury depend on a structured rehabilitation protocol. Surface electromyographic guided training may improve the amplitude, separation and consistency of EMG signals, which - after elective amputation of a functionless hand - control and drive a prosthetic hand.

Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction
0 Views •
2025
This protocol presents a novel coronoid-temporalis pedicled flap (CTPF) technique for reconstructing small-to-medium orbital floor defects. CTPF avoids microvascular risks while maintaining biomechanical stability. Clinical cases demonstrate effective structural restoration, reduced complications, and preserved facial symmetry, offering a viable alternative to traditional grafts or alloplastic materials.

Biomaterials doped with Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2) have been used as a new therapeutic strategy to heal non-union bone fractures. To overcome side effects resulting from an uncontrollable release of the factor, we propose a new strategy to site-directly immobilize the factor, thus creating materials with improved osteogenic capabilities.
FAQs
The reconstruction process links image-derived anatomy to a usable geometric model by preserving the outer contours that influence anatomical fit and load transfer. After the damaged or missing region is identified, engineers generate a digital replacement geometry. This model can support computational analysis or guide physical fabrication, connecting imaging evidence with downstream design decisions.
Outer geometry affects anatomical fit and load transfer. A reconstruction makes those spatial features available for implant design rather than relying only on a generalized bone shape. In bioengineering, this patient-specific representation can help align the intended implant with the individual’s anatomy and provide a basis for evaluating how the design relates to structural repair.
For anatomical analysis, the model represents bone morphology for quantitative study, whereas implant design uses the same geometric information to shape a patient-specific device. The distinction lies in the purpose of the model: one emphasizes measurement and comparison, while the other emphasizes fit and load transfer. This shared representation connects characterization with engineered repair.
The workflow starts with medical imaging data and converts those data into a three-dimensional representation. Engineers then identify the damaged or missing surface and generate a digitally reconstructed geometry. The resulting model can be transferred to computational analysis or physical fabrication, making the workflow useful for both virtual evaluation and engineered outputs.
These models are especially useful when a repair must reflect an individual’s anatomy. Engineers can use the reconstructed surface to design patient-specific implants, tissue-engineering scaffolds, or surgical tools. In regenerative medicine, the geometry also contributes to personalized treatment development by providing an anatomical basis for designing structures intended to support repair.
Researchers can use reconstructed surfaces to study bone morphology quantitatively and investigate repair outcomes. The geometry provides a defined representation for examining anatomical form and the state of a repaired region, while also supporting development of personalized regenerative treatments. Its value therefore extends beyond fabrication to measurement and bioengineering research on repair.
