The Cantilever Rib Graft in Nasal Reconstruction

  • Chapter
Innovations in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

Abstract

Rib grafting for reconstruction of the nose has been reported by many workers [1]–[5]. The cantilever rib osseocartilagenous graft that was rigidly fixed with a microscrew was first reported by David and Moore [6] in 25 cases, 19 of which were children with congenital craniofacial deformities. Daniel [7] presented his technique for monobloc osseocartilagenous autogenous rib graft rigidly fixed with double ultramicro screws at the radix on a cancellous platform. Shubailat [8] reported the technique used in 48 cases, 45 of which were secondary to 1–9 previous operations.
