Hibernoma is a rare benign soft tissue adipocytic tumor. Mostly found in adults, it is usually located in the limbs, and is deepseated or intramuscular. Usually asymptomatic, it causes symptoms when it becomes large enough to compress adjacent structures, mimicking well differentiated liposarcoma clinically and radiologically.

Background: Local reconstructive options for middle third of leg make good use of Soleus muscle flap. Soleus being the prime ankle planter flexor and stabiliser of the ankle in ambulation cannot be sacrificed without significant morbidity. Soleus is a bipennate muscle with independent blood supply of each half.

Background: Use of scalp as a donor site was reported for the first time in 1964. Since then, authors have described scalp as a donor site, which heals rapidly and re-growth of hair conceals the donor site. This study was aimed at evaluation of scalp as donor site by calculating the healing time, and frequency of post-operative complications.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ata-ul-Haq"

  • Ata-ul-Haq's research primarily focuses on the surgical management of soft tissue tumors and reconstructive techniques, with notable publications addressing rare conditions and innovative procedural approaches.
  • One notable study discusses the characteristics and clinical implications of hibernomas, a rare benign adipocytic tumor, highlighting its potential to mimic more serious conditions like liposarcoma.
  • Additionally, his work on the hemisoleus muscle flap presents a significant reconstructive option for tibial fractures, emphasizing the importance of preserving muscle function during surgical interventions.*
