Does the Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) Predict Adverse Outcomes in Maxillofacial Fracture Repair?

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Does the Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) Predict Adverse Outcomes in Maxillofacial Fracture Repair? Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Frailty has been recognized as a predictor of postoperative adverse outcomes in many surgical subspecialties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between frailty and complications in patients undergoing operative repair of facial fractures.

Reconstruction of Segmental Mandibular Defects with Use of Avascular Fibula Grafts

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Reconstruction of Segmental Mandibular Defects with Use of Avascular Fibula Grafts Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Functional and cosmetic defects involving the maxillofacial complex may result from traumatic injury, developmental deformities, infections, and iatrogenic injury. Reconstruction of large segmental defects with the use of vascularized free flaps has been considered the gold standard in recent years. There are many logistical and economic considerations with vascularized free flaps, and therefore the authors aim to discuss an alternative. After appropriate patient selection, the use of non-vascularized reconstruction techniques has been shown to be effective.

Does Liposomal Bupivicaine Injection Decrease Postoperative Opioid Usage following Bimaxillary Surgery?

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Does Liposomal Bupivicaine Injection Decrease Postoperative Opioid Usage following Bimaxillary Surgery? Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Among patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery, does the use of liposomal bupivacaine injection reduce the use of opioid analgesics and/or length of hospital admission in the postoperative period?

Malignant Transformation of Ossifying Fibroma to Juvenile Aggressive Ossifying Fibroma to Fibroblastic Osteosarcoma: A Case Report

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Malignant Transformation of Ossifying Fibroma to Juvenile Aggressive Ossifying Fibroma to Fibroblastic Osteosarcoma: A Case Report Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery The researchers present a case of mandibular juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) undergoing malignant transformation to fibroblastic osteosarcoma (FOS) and propose to use this unique case report. In contrast to extragnathic OS (osteosarcoma), comprehensive genomic studies of gnathic OS are lacking and, hence, there are no validated diagnostic and therapeutic molecular targets for gnathic OS. Distinguishing fibroblastic OS of the jaws from its close mimics, such as ossifying fibroma (OF) and fibromatosis of the jaws, poses major challenge for pathologists.

Enlargement of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Canal and Mental Neuropathy Associated with B-cell Lymphoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Enlargement of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Canal and Mental Neuropathy Associated with B-cell Lymphoma: A Case Report and Literature Review Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Enlargement of an inferior alveolar nerve canal (IANC) on radiographic imaging can indicate the presence of a wide variety of pathologic entities. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have the unique opportunity to regularly examine panoramic radiographs, and must exercise proficient clinical judgement when noting abnormal findings on imaging. While malignant processes associated with IANC enlargement are uncommon, these pathologies do occur and may be associated with significant sequelae, especially when accompanied by a delay in diagnosis in treatment.

Mortality and Associated Variables of Full-mouth Extractions

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Mortality and Associated Variables of Full-mouth Extractions Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Full-mouth extractions (FMEs) are common procedures that are classically performed electively due to caries and periodontal disease. Up to 17% of adults over the age of 65 and 2% of adults aged 20-64 in the United States are edentulous. At the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, approximately 250 FMEs are performed annually with nearly half performed on adults over the age of 50. There is currently an absence of data on this patient population and their overall outcomes. The authors hypothesize that FMEs are often performed on socioeconomically and medically vulnerable populations, thereby further compromising their conditions and potentially contributing to their demise.
