If the synchondrosis is loose, a variety of modifications can be devised. This report introduces new methods for these problems. In cases of incomplete synchondrosis, only the surface of the base block margin was smoothly tapered without carving for the removal of the conchal deepening. The secure fixation of the two segments (helix and antihelix) to the base block using fine wire sutures gave stability to the unstable basal frame. After confirming that all the segments were assembled in one stable piece, the remaining conchal deepening of the basal framework was removed, and the outer lower portion of the basal cartilage was trimmed along its whole length. A total of 10 consecutive patients with microtia, ranging from 8 to 13 years old, were treated from 2008 to 2009. The follow-up period was 6 months to 2 years. Despite incomplete synchondrosis, the stable frameworks were constructed using the authors' method and aesthetically acceptable results were achieved. The proposed method can provide an easy way to make a stable cartilage framework regardless of the variable conditions of synchondrosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2012.39.2.162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,19]],"date-time":"2012-03-19T11:09:45Z","timestamp":1332155385000},"page":"162-165","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Fabrication of Stable Cartilage Framework for Microtia in Incomplete Synchondrosis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Byung Chae","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung Hun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kang Young","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung Dug","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ho Yun","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"998","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2005.12.052","article-title":"Two-stage reconstruction of the auricle in congenital microtia using autogenous costal cartilage","volume":"60","author":"BC Cho","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1940","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181bf8185","article-title":"Modifications of three-dimensional costal cartilage framework grafting in auricular reconstruction for microtia","volume":"124","author":"W Chin","year":"2009","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"257","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(01)00013-X","article-title":"Microtia repair with rib cartilage grafts: a review of personal experience with 1000 cases","volume":"29","author":"B Brent","year":"2002","journal-title":"Clin Plast Surg"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-197802000-00001","article-title":"Microtia: a long-term follow-up of 44 reconstructed auricles","volume":"61","author":"RC Tanzer","year":"1978","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199308000-00001","article-title":"A new method of total reconstruction of the auricle for microtia","volume":"92","author":"S Nagata","year":"1993","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1447","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000258572.57161.d8","article-title":"A 20-year experience with the Brent technique of auricular reconstruction: pearls and pitfalls","volume":"119","author":"G Osorno","year":"2007","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"ref7","volume-title":"Clinically oriented anatomy","author":"KL Moore","year":"2006","edition":"5th ed"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"432","article-title":"The interchondral joints of the human thorax","volume":"59","author":"C Briscoe","year":"1925","journal-title":"J Anat"}],"container-title":["Archives of Plastic Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.5999\/aps.2012.39.2.162.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]],"date-time":"2022-04-24T22:32:56Z","timestamp":1650839576000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.5999\/aps.2012.39.2.162"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,3]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5999\/aps.2012.39.2.162","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2234-6163","2234-6171"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2234-6163","type":"print"},{"value":"2234-6171","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,3]]}}}
