Filter by:This study will address medical devices manufactured by Biomet Microfixation (d.b.a. Zimmer Biomet) designed for fixation and stabilization of the facial and mandibular skeleton.
The CAUSE study is a multicenter study, with domestic (n=4) and international (n=6) study sites. Children and young adults (ages 0-18) who have microtia and/or craniofacial microsomia and their parents are invited to participate. Children and parents are asked to provide a DNA sample (blood or saliva) and are asked to upload a few photos of their face. Parents are asked a short interview. Participants are able to participate from home or at one of four domestic sites.
The aim of this study is to identify of the first gene involved in the Goldenhar syndrome in a cohort of 120 affected patients.
Objectives: Distraction Osteogenesis is an integral part in management of mandibular defects associated with Hemifacial Microsomia (HFM) and post-ankylotic mandibular defects. The most difficult part in distraction osteogenesis is the prediction of distraction vector and risk of injury to vital structures as inferior alveolar. The current study aimed to present Three-Dimensionally Constructed Computer Guided Splints in Distraction Osteogenesis to get an ideal vector and minimal risk of vital structures injury. Methods: The study presents computer-guided distraction osteogenesis surgery using prefabricated splints.
Maxillofacial Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) has a lot of draw backs; mostly related to long distraction and consolidation time. Rapid rate DO was proposed to decrease the distraction time to avoid consequences of long procedure. The idea of the current study is to provide mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in form of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) during rapid distraction to fasten and shorten consolidation. Methods: This trial was conducted on patients requiring mandibular DO. Patients were divided in two groups; control group in which distraction took place at a rate of 1.5 mm /day without any enhancement and study group in which distraction took place at rate of 1.5 mm /day and the distracted bone was enhanced by BMAC
Although first reports of the clinical use of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) suggest that this approach may be feasible and effective for soft tissue augmentation, there is a lack of randomized, controlled clinical trials in the literature. Hence, this study aimed to investigate whether a novel protocol for isolation of ADRC and their use in combination with fat tissue improve the long-term retention of the grafts in paediatric patients with craniofacial microsomia.
This study is a multi-center, longitudinal cohort study of 125 infants with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and 100 infants without craniofacial anomalies. Participants will undergo a series of evaluations between 0-3 years of age to comprehensively evaluate the developmental status of infants and toddlers with CFM. This research design will also explore specific pathways by which CFM may lead to certain outcomes. Specifically, the study explores (1) the longitudinal relations between facial asymmetry and emotion-related facial movements and socialization; and (2) associations among ear malformations, hearing and speech deficits and cognitive outcomes. Results of this research will ultimately lead to future investigations that assess new interventions and corresponding changes in current standards of care for children with CFM.
