“…As the latter dimension is in the same range (1.49 AE 0.5 mm) as was earlier observed in ex vivo isolated cricoids, we conclude that in vivo the adhering soft tissues actually restrict the split-induced distortion of the cartilage [6]. In particular, the tunica elastica seems to play an important role.…”

“…Previously, two types of injury-induced distortion have been studied in isolated cricoids [6]. It was demonstrated that an ACS results in a gap between the cut ends, whereas additional scoring of the internal surface (ACS + S) of the cricoid promptly leads to further widening of this gap.…”

Cartilage can be shaped by scoring. In an exploratory study in living adult animals, this phenomenon was demonstrated in cartilage of the nasal septum. Bending was observed immediately after superficial scoring of the cartilage surface, and the cartilage always warped in the direction away from the scored side. The scored piece of cartilage still showed its initially distorted shape 10 weeks after primary surgery. In ex vivo experiments, a clear relation between incision depth and bending of septal cartilage was observed. Under these controlled conditions, the variation between different septa was small. Deformation of the septal specimens was increased by introducing single superficial incisions deepening to half the thickness of the cartilage. A positive correlation between incision depth and bending was demonstrated. A model was used to accurately predict the degree of bending of the cartilage after making an incision of a particular depth. Hence, the effect of cartilage scoring can be predicted. Because the results of this controlled study showed excellent reproducibility for different septa, it is expected that this model can be extrapolated to human nasal septum cartilage. This would enable the surgeon to better predict the result of cartilage scoring, either preoperatively or perioperatively.
