Degrees of tolerance in post-traumatic orbital volume correction: the role of prefabricated mesh.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To identify factors influencing the volumetric correction of orbital fractures, and evaluate the use of prefabricated titanium mesh in their repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included patients with unilateral orbital fractures and floor or ... Read more...

Effect of a syndromic diagnosis on mandibular size and sagittal position in Robin sequence.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Despite its pathogenic heterogeneity, it is often assumed that the small mandible in a neonate with Robin sequence will not grow normally. The purpose of this study was to determine mandibular length and position in patients with ... Read more...

Historiography and forensic analysis of the Fort King George "skull": craniometric assessment using the specific population approach.

29 Sep 2009 In this article, we evaluate the association between the Fort King George "skull" and two Franciscans who were killed during a Guale revolt in 1597 and whose remains were never recovered (Pedro de Corpa and Francisco de Veráscola). The history and ... Read more...
