Quite favorable clinical results with minimal donor site sensorial deficiency, anatomical and histomorphological similarity and being available in close location to surgical area brings up a matter to utilization of LABCN for digital nerve reconstruction.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon condition, characterized by multinodular cartilagineous proliferation of the joint synovium. There are only a few case reports of synovial chondromatosis involving the hand in the literature. A case of synovial chondromatosis of the ring finger is reported in this paper.

Chondrocutaneous (ChC) grafts have been used for nasal alar reconstruction for years. One of the consequences for using these grafts is the restriction in dimensions. In this study, we presented our results in which ChC grafts bigger than 20 mm in length have been used in conjunction with a dermal turnover flap for full-thickness alar subunit defects. Technical details and results of 8 alar subunits reconstructions in 8 patients were evaluated. Follow-up period ranged from 10 to 27 months, with a mean of 18.3 months. We achieved satisfactory results without partial or total graft failure. Finally, surgeons can safely use outsized ChC composite grafts with this type of design, for successful alar subunit reconstruction.
