[interest of scaphal cartilage grafting or ulnar proximal bone graft, under the olecranium, in secondary nose repair]

Abstract

The proper use of scaphal ear cartilaginous autograft or ulnar bone lateral side under the olecranium, on the postero-médial flat wall covered by muscle, may be an innovative way for secondary nasal repair or reconstruction.These techniques are not well popularised, but they may represent a good solution in complicated cases when straighter cartilage than the concha, or a planar bone graft easy to take out, are considered; this may be the case mostly in secondary noses surgery;These techniques are also easy to perform because the position to take the grafts is very easy, the donor site is under the operative field; the observed complications have been few and the results were rewarding.
