Nasal cartilage pathologies are common; for example, up to 80% of people are afflicted by
deviated nasal septum conditions. Because cartilage provides the supportive framework of …

Nose reconstruction often requires scarce cartilage grafts. Nasal cartilage properties must
be determined to serve as design criteria for engineering grafts. Thus, mechanical and …

Background: The septal extension graft is currently the most commonly used primary and
secondary rhinoplasty technique in Asia because it provides maximal tip projection and …

Importance Significant nasal septal deviation may require complex reconstruction to achieve
complete correction. Subtotal septal reconstruction is a method for addressing deviations in …

The cartilaginous nasal septum is integral to the overall structure of the nose. Developing
our an-atomic understanding of the septum will improve the planning and techniques of …

Background Despite previous studies on auricle morphology, research on its biomechanical
properties remains limited. This study aims to assess age-and gender-related variations in …

Background: The nasal septum supports the structure of the nose and is frequently
manipulated during septorhinoplasty. Objective: To compare measurements of thickness …

Importance To our knowledge, yield strength testing in human nasal septal cartilage has not
been reported to date. An understanding of the basic mechanics of the nasal septum may …

Background Septal extension graft (SEG) is an effective method to control the projection,
rotation, and shape of the nasal tip. However, the structural mechanics of SEG have not yet …

Objective There has been an increase in use of autologous costal cartilage for nasal tip
shaping material. However, there are deficiencies in using this plastic material, such as a …
