  • Recently, screen climbing contents such as sports climbing learning program and screen climbing games. Especially, there are many researches on screen climbing games. In this paper, we propose the skeleton correction method based on the body area of a climber to improve the posture recognition accuracy. The correction method consists of the modified skeletal frame normalization with abnormal skeleton joint filtering, the classification of body area into joint parts, and the final skeleton joint correction. The skeletal information obtained by the proposed method can be used to compare the climber's posture and the ideal climbing posture.

  • One of the biggest problems of skeletonization is the occurrence of distortions at the junction point of the final binary image. At the junction area, a single point usually becomes a small stroke, and the corresponding trajectory task, as well as the OCR, consequently becomes more complicated. We therefore propose an adaptive post-processing method that uses an adaptive threshold technique to correct the distortions. Our proposed method transforms the distorted segments into a single point so that they are as similar to the original image as possible, and this improves the static handwriting images after the skeletonization process. Further, we attained promising results regarding the usage of the enhanced skeletonized images in other applications, thereby proving the expediency and efficiency of the proposed method.

  • Bone shaving for surgical correction is general method in facial asymmetrical patient with fibrous dysplasia. Therefore, decision of bone shaving amount on the preoperative planning is very difficult for improvement of ideal occlusal relationship and harmonious face. Preoperative planning of facial asymmetry with fibrous dysplasia is generally confirmed by the simulation surgery based on evaluation of clinical examination, radiographic analysis and analysis of facial study model. However, the accurate postoperative results can not be predicted by this method. By using the computed tomography based RP(rapid prototyping) model, simulation of facial skeleton can be duplicated and 3-dimensional simmulation surgery can be perfomed. After fabrication of postoperative study model by preoperactive bone shaving, preoperative and postoperactive surgical index was made by omnivaccum and clear acrylic resin. Amount of bone shaving is confirmed by superimposition of surgical index at the operation. We performed the surgical correction of facial asymmetry patients with fibrous dysplasia using surgical index and prototyping model and obtained the favorable results.

  • Treatment of hemifacial atrophy is a challenge for oral & maxillofacial surgeons. The surgical approach basically focused on skeletal correction so that the overlying soft tissues can be improved by the osseous change of the skeleton. However, the treatment ends up with insufficient soft tissue mophology in most cases even after skeletal correction. Therefore comprehensive hard and soft tissue reconstruction is needed for treating the hemifacial atrophy. In this case report, we experienced a successful result after combined orthognathic and microvascular adipofascial flap reconstruction for hemifacial atrophy patient.

  • Facial skeletal remodeling was revolutionized more than 30 years ago, by the work of Tessier and other craniofacial surgeons. However, the need to correct the skeleton in the upper third of the face is not frequently diagnosed or treated in aesthetic facial surgery. Here, we report on the aesthetic correction of a protrusive forehead. A patient visited our hospital for aesthetic contouring with a prominent forehead. The anterior wall of the frontal sinus was removed with a craniotome via the bicoronal approach. After the excised bone was repositioned, it was fixed with a titanium mesh plate and screws. An electric burr was used to contour the supraorbital rim and frontal bone. Once the desired shape was achieved, the periosteum was replaced, and the wound was closed in layers. When performed properly, frontal sinus contouring could significantly improve the appearance in patients with a prominent forehead. Plastic surgeons must carefully evaluate patients with a prominent forehead for skeletal remodeling that involves the accurate and safe repositioning of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus.

  • Background : When surgeons plan mandible ortho surgery for patients with skeletal class III facial asymmetry, they must be consider the exact method of surgery for correction of the facial asymmetry. Three-dimensional (3D) CT imaging is efficient in depicting specific structures in the craniofacial area. It reproduces actual measurements by minimizing errors from patient movement and allows for image magnification. Due to the rapid development of digital image technology and the expansion of treatment range, rapid progress has been made in the study of three-dimensional facial skeleton analysis. The purpose of this study was to conduct 3D CT image comparisons of mandible changes after mandibular surgery in facial asymmetry patients. Materials & methods : This study included 7 patients who underwent 3D CT before and after correction of facial asymmetry in the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of Yeungnam University Hospital between August 2002 and November 2005. Patients included 2 males and 5 females, with ages ranging from 16 years to 30 years (average 21.4 years). Frontal CT images were obtained before and after surgery, and changes in mandible angle and length were measured. Results : When we compared the measurements obtained before and after mandibular surgery in facial asymmetry patients, correction of facial asymmetry was identified on the "after" images. The mean difference between the right and left mandibular angles before mandibular surgery was $7^{\circ}$, whereas after mandibular surgery it was $1.5^{\circ}$. The right and left mandibular length ratios subtracted from 1 was 0.114 before mandibular surgery, while it was 0.036 after mandibular surgery. The differences were analyzed using the nonparametric test and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test (p<0.05). Conclusion: The system that has been developed produces an accurate three-dimensional representation of the skull, upon which individualized surgery of the skull and jaws is easily performed. The system also permits accurate measurement and monitoring of postsurgical changes to the face and jaws through reproducible and noninvasive means.

  • Background: Surgery has been the classical treatment of pectus carinatum (PC), though compressive orthotic braces have shown successful results in recent years. We propose a non-operative approach using a lightweight, patient-controlled dynamic chest-bracing device. Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients with PC were treated between July 2008 and June 2009. The treatment involved fitting of the brace, which was worn for at least 20 hours per day for 6 months. Their degree of satisfaction (1, no correction; 4, remarkable correction) was measured at 12 months after the initiation of the treatment. Results: Thirteen (72.2%) patients completed the treatment (mean time, $4.9{\pm}1.4$ months). In patients who completed the treatment, the mean overall satisfaction score was $3.73{\pm}0.39$. The mean satisfaction score was 4, and there was no recurrence of pectus carinatum in patients who underwent the treatment for at least 6 months. Minimal recurrence of pectus carinatum after removal of the compressive brace occurred in 5 (38.5%) patients who stopped wearing the compressive brace at 4 months. Conclusion: Compressive bracing results in a significant improvement in PC appearance in patients with an immature skeleton. However, patient compliance and diligent follow-up appear to be paramount for the success of this method of treatment. We currently offer this approach as a first-line treatment for PC.

  • Fibrous dysplasia is a chronic developmental disease of the skeleton involving formation of immature bone. Involvement of facial bones can result in deformation of facial contour. Prominent cheek area is often treated with malarplasty, which has a variety of modifications, depending on the surgeon's preference. The authors report on a case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in which the patient's right cheek had a prominent appearance. The prominence was corrected with malarplasty without internal fixation. The soft nature of bone involved in fibrous dysplasia could provide greater flexibility for modification of the traditional surgery.
