Abstract:
Premature closure of the sutures, craniosynostosis, can lead to severe complications when untreated. Spring-assisted cranioplasty has some advantages compared to calvarial vault remodelling e.g. less blood loss and reduced operative time. In this review, we describe the novel treatment of nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis with spring-assisted cranioplasty and compare it to cranial vault remodelling, which has been the standard treatment for many years.

01:40Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
