Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluated the utility of a ruler for reconstructed article positioning.
Methods: Forty-seven patients with unilateral microtia were selected from August 2020 to September 2021.
Results: The linear distance from the highest point of the reconstructed auricle to the central axis of the nose was not significantly different from the distance from the highest point of the normal contralateral auricle to the central axis of the nose (P>0.05). The distance from the lowest point of the reconstructed auricle to the central axis of the nose was not significantly different from the distance from the lowest point of the normal auricle to the central axis of the nose (P>0.05). The linear distance from the highest to the lowest point of the reconstructed auricle was not significantly different from the distance from the highest to the lowest point of the normal auricle (P>0.05). These results indicate that the reconstructed auricle was symmetrical to the contralateral ear.
Conclusion: The positioning ruler evaluated in this study is simple, easy to use, accurate, and non-invasive.
期刊介绍:
Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management is an international, peer-reviewed journal of clinical therapeutics and risk management, focusing on concise rapid reporting of clinical studies in all therapeutic areas, outcomes, safety, and programs for the effective, safe, and sustained use of medicines, therapeutic and surgical interventions in all clinical areas.
The journal welcomes submissions covering original research, clinical and epidemiological studies, reviews, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary. The journal will consider case reports but only if they make a valuable and original contribution to the literature.
As of 18th March 2019, Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
The journal does not accept study protocols, animal-based or cell line-based studies.
