Biomechanics refers to the study of structure and function of biological systems, using methods obtained from mechanics, which is concerned with the effects that forces have on the motion of bodies. Recently, there has been a development of implementation of various virtual studies in the field of biomechanics. One such remarkable development is the technology of finite element analysis (FEA). Through this technology, complex mechanical systems in human body, which otherwise are difficult to understand in vivo, could be studied using mathematical conversion of the geometrical model in question. This has its implications in the field of trauma surgery, especially oral and maxillofacial surgery, reconstructive surgery and implantology. The available literature indicates FEA to be an important instrument in understanding and reconstructing complex human mechanical systems. Keywords: Finite Element Analysis (Fea); Maxillofacial Surgery; Traumatology; Reconstructive Surgery; Implantology.

Biological scaffolds have been used in various fields to augment tissue repair and regeneration. It is of various types and have been of its own advantages and disadvantages. In this article we discuss about the biological scaffolds and its applications. Keywords: Biological Scaffolds; Breast Surgery; Abdominal Surgery.

Currently, several medicinal plants have been integrated into the health care system to aid in wound healing. Centella asiatica has been used in traditional medicine because of its ability to heal wounds and prevent scarring. This article is about the role of Centella asiatica (C. asiatica) in thermal burns healing. Keywords: Centella asiatica, thermal burns, scar.
