Kinsella Jr C, Castillo N, Naran S, Smith D, DeCesare G, Cladis F, et al.
J Craniofac Surg . 2014 Jan; 25(1):140-2. PMID: 24406567
Objective: Local infiltration of epinephrine before surgical procedures is a well-accepted technique to promote vasoconstriction. Typically, the dose of epinephrine is limited by the co-administration of local anesthetic as well...

Smith D, Bykowski M, Cray J, Naran S, Rottgers S, Shakir S, et al.
Plast Reconstr Surg . 2013 May; 131(6):1348-1358. PMID: 23714795
Background: Optimal management of pediatric mandible fractures demands that the practitioner balance reduction and fixation with preservation of growth potential and function. The ideal synthesis of these goals has not...

Grunwaldt L, Smith D, Zuckerbraun N, Naran S, Rottgers S, Bykowski M, et al.
Plast Reconstr Surg . 2011 Aug; 128(6):1263-1271. PMID: 21829142
Background: Pediatric craniofacial fractures are anatomically distinct from their adult counterparts and must be managed with respect for future growth and development. These injuries must be approached as entities fundamentally...

Rottgers S, Decesare G, Chao M, Smith D, Cray J, Naran S, et al.
J Craniofac Surg . 2011 Jul; 22(4):1260-5. PMID: 21772202
A comprehensive study of adverse outcomes after pediatric facial fractures has not been published. This study aimed to determine the incidence and classify adverse outcomes after facial fractures in children...

Mericli A, DeCesare G, Zuckerbraun N, Kurland K, Grunwaldt L, Vecchione L, et al.
J Craniofac Surg . 2011 Jul; 22(4):1342-7. PMID: 21772183
Background: This study examines the epidemiologic data of pediatric craniofacial fractures secondary to violence, comparing these data to craniofacial fractures sustained from all other causes. Methods: A retrospective review was...

Cray Jr J, Burrows A, Vecchione L, Kinsella Jr C, Losee J, Moursi A, et al.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J . 2011 Jul; 49(5):e46-54. PMID: 21740159
Objectives: Craniosynostosis affects 1 in 2000 to 3000 live births and may result in craniofacial and neural growth disturbances. Histological data have shown that thick collagenous bundles are present in...

Cray Jr J, Kneib J, Vecchione L, Byron C, Cooper G, Losee J, et al.
Anat Rec (Hoboken) . 2011 May; 294(7):1170-7. PMID: 21618442
It has been suggested recently that masticatory muscle size reduction in humans resulted in greater encephalization through decreased compressive forces on the cranial vault. Following this logic, if masticatory muscle...

Kinsella Jr C, Cray J, Durham E, Burrows A, Vecchione L, Smith D, et al.
Plast Reconstr Surg . 2011 Mar; 127(3):1173-1181. PMID: 21364420
Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) delivered on an absorbable collagen sponge is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved therapy effective at generating bone formation. In pediatric patients for...

Plast Reconstr Surg . 2011 Mar; 127(3):1163-1172. PMID: 21364419
Background: Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), regulators of ossification, have been implicated in premature suture fusion. Noggin, an...
