This study was conducted in order to review the experience in the reconstruction of postburn head-neck deformities effect in Hµ Néi plastic surgery Centre between 1995 and 1997. 135 procedures were used to reconstruct postburn scar in 55 patients. All the patients had suffered deforming flame and chemical burns in the head and the neck. Some of the reconstructions ware essential procedures, such as eyelid ectropion, neck release by means of Z plastics, skin grafts, expanded flaps, local flaps, and free flaps... Reconstruction of some parts of face, head of aesthetic importance were the late elective procedures which can be performed after scar maturation.

The plastic reconstruction of defect in the head, neck and face played an important role in the rehabilitation and plastic recovery for patients suffered cancer in the head, neck and face. Some techniques and materials are being applied in the plastic reconstruction comprised the autologous cutaneous transplantation, local cutaneous transplantation, pedicular flaps, expanded flaps and artificial materials.

Cleft lip is a congenital defect encountered at any country, any race. The ratio of children suffered from this congenital defect makes up 0.1- 0.2% of newborn babies. Plastic surgery is a main measure to give back normal lip for children. Many techniques of cleft lip repair have been used and published. In this study, the author analysed some main commonly used techniques and emphasized on rotation- advancement one with some modifications. 1,449 cases have been operated with good results. The author stressed on some supplementary techniques to repair either unilateral or bilateral cleft lip.

The cause of Maxillar alveolo prognathism is mainly identified as locally caused by bad habit since childhood, taking 60% of the global number of cases. Therefore the dental survey program in school activities directed by Hanoi Institute of odonto stomatology and maxillo facial surgery has largely contributed to the elimination of these virulent etiology and causality. The main clinical manifestations of the maxillar alveolo dental prognathism are centred in the veranda like promince (pent- roof appearance) of frontal group of incisive teeth (sometimes of canines/premolairs are well). The main quality highlighting this therapeutic procedure may be resumed in these few words: This is the simplest therapeutic method that could be used in every basic odonto- stomatological network throughout the whole country with fortunately corresponding modest, lowest cost perspective

BACKGROUND: Composite grafts have advantages for small nasal defect coverage. However, if the the outer skin defect and the inner skin defect have a different location, conventional composite grafts encounter considerable limitations. Therefore, we devised a 4-limbed graft to overcome this limitation by use of soft tissue transposition. METHODS: Over the course of 5 years, this auricular composite graft was used in 10 cases of reconstruction. We harvested skin and cartilage from the helix. The composite graft had 2 limbs of soft tissue to cover the nasal defect and another 2 limbs of cartilage to support nasal framework. The cartilage limbs extended 3 to 5 mm beyond the margin of the skin. The direction of each limb was modified according to defect position. RESULTS: All 10 composite grafts survived completely. All composite grafts shrank by a small percentage of their bulk. Nonetheless, the nasal framework was maintained to an acceptable extent because of the cartilage limbs. CONCLUSIONS: This technique was capable not only of covering defects in the alar and columellar area, but also of maintaining a satisfactory external appearance, because the 2 limbs of cartilage included in the graft strengthened the nasal framework and provided modest support to the nostril margin. The 2 limbs of soft tissue covered the defect area. Our 4-limbed auricular chondrocutaneous composite graft is reliable option for the reconstruction of alar and columellar defects in a single-stage procedure.

This recommendation is made from 55 femoral heads in 50 total hip reconstructive patients to judge macroscopic and microscopic pathoantomical osteochondral changes of the femoral head. When a hip arthrosis has been presented on clinical symptoms as permanent pain, limiting motion of the joint such as of lasting force, pathoanatomical changes may be showed clearly and internal treatment could only hinder the progress of disease. The most useful treatment of choice for end stages of the hip arthrosis is hip replacement.

Wolff law was an adaptable principle of bone, Tension-Stress Principle was equal to Distraction Osteogenesis or Distraction Tissue Regeneration, The Natural Reconstruction theory was a new orthopedic perspective proposed by Prof. QIN after deformity correction using Ilizarov technology. The thought about their relationship originated from a social phenomena, that the crowds and the confusion about export choice in Beijing's subway. Ilizarov technology and Wolff law were one concept related to Mechanics, and the former is completely in line with the latter. In other words, Ilizarov technology is an extension of Wolff law, is a repeated process of micro-trauma and continuous repair of bone trabecular initiated by moden engineering, just trabecular formed along the tension-stress direction. With adjustment of mechanical force,doctor can control the process of fracture healing and bone remolding to a certain extent. Natural Reconstruction theory enlarged the defined range of Wolff law obviously. Not only guided orthopedics clinical and basic research,but also related to the dialectical thinking of the doctor-patient relationship in sociology. There was an inevitable connection among Wolff law, Ilizarov technology and Natural Reconstruction theory. The history of discovery and understanding was a continuous process of thinking,practice and integration.
