What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patient Outcome Assessment

    Subjective assessment using the Face-Q checklists and scoring for preoperative assessment.

    Measured: Preoperative

  2. Patient Outcome Assessment

    Subjective assessment using the Face-Q checklists and scoring for post-operative assessments.

    Measured: 3 months post-operative

  3. Patient Outcome Assessment

    Subjective assessment using the Face-Q checklists and scoring for post-operative assessments.

    Measured: 6 months post-operative

  4. Patient Outcome Assessment

    Subjective assessment using the Face-Q checklists and scoring for post-operative assessments.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cost analysis of utilizing the different grafts as far as graft cost, operative time, re-operation, etc.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Comparison of the overall complication rate between the MTF cartilage graft and autologous cartilage graft used during the procedures.

    Measured: 12 months
