09-12, 15:20–15:40 (Europe/Istanbul), Facial Plastic 3

This study evaluates the prevalence and patterns of rib cartilage calcification using plain radiographs in patients undergoing rhinoplasty. The degree of calcification is analyzed to determine its impact on graft selection, carving difficulty, and surgical planning. Findings aim to guide surgeons in preoperative assessment for optimal costal cartilage harvesting and utilization.
