Can anatomical morphomic variables help predict abdominal injury rates in frontal vehicle crashes?
This study is the first to combine vehicle, demographic, and anatomical data to predict abdominal injury rates in frontal crashes.
The results of the present preclinical study suggested that a 16-cm bone stick could be harvested with an optimal vascular safety, without consideration for the morbidity at the donor site. The original approach in this study, relating anatomy to the preclinical imaging, allowed a precise visualization of the microvascularization of the soft and hard tissues. It opened a field of innovative research in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
