"Flap-in-Flap" Technique: Double V-Y Flap in Fingertip Injury Management.

 Fingertip injuries with amputation are one of the common hand injury problems. Several reconstructive options are available for fingertip injury. V-Y advancement flap is one of the common flaps.

Revisiting Elliot's Modification of Moberg's Flap and Our Improvisation.

Thumb tip injuries constitute one of the most common hand injuries. There are various reconstructive options for thumb tip injuries. We present our series of thumb tip injuries reconstructed using Elliot's modification of the Moberg flap, which provides like-for-like tissue.

Applications and Reliability of Dorsal Metacarpal Artery Perforator Flap.

Dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap (DMAP), first described by Quaba and Davison, is a useful tool in the armamentarium of plastic surgeons. It provides like for like tissue for the reconstruction of dorsal finger defects. It is a simple and relatively easy flap to harvest with minimal donor site morbidity.

Assessing the Accuracy of Common Clinical Tests for Detecting Palmaris Longus: A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Center.

 Palmaris longus (PL) is a short-bellied muscle with a long tendon that merges with the palmar aponeurosis. It is supplied by the median nerve and acts as a tensor of the palmar aponeurosis and flexes the wrist. This tendon is commonly used for tendon transfers and as a donor for tendon graft.

Feasibility of Laterocaudal Approach in Comparison with Subtarsal Approach in the Management of Orbital Rim Fractures in Indian Population: A Prospective Study.

A balance between surgical access and aesthetics, with lesser post-op sequelae, is inevitable in the management of facial fractures. Even though various approaches are widely practised, further modifications and revisions are encouraged for better outcomes. We performed a prospective cross-sectional study on 30 patients with Zygomatico-Maxillary Complex (ZMC) fracture with inferior orbital rim involvement.

"Like For Like" Reconstruction of Heel Pad with Medial Plantar Artery Flap-Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes in A Series of 19 Cases.

Heel pad loss can cause serious problems in weight-bearing and locomotion. The medial plantar artery (MPA) flap is a suitable "like for like" replacement. Nineteen patients whose heels were reconstructed with MPA flap between July 2015 and February 2020 were studied.

Traditional Versus Virtual Surgery Planning of the Fronto-Orbital Unit in Anterior Cranial Vault Remodeling Surgery.

Background: Craniosynostosis correction surgery is a complex procedure, which involves complete dismantling and reassembly of the cranial vault components. The traditional planning method for these surgeries results in increased intra-operative time owing to its highly subjective nature. The advent of virtual surgical planning (VSP) platform has lead to a greater pre-operative insight and precision outcome in calvarial remodeling surgeries.

Chimeric Anterolateral Thigh Flap for Primary Functional Reconstruction of Complex, Composite Near Total Hemi Facial Post Excision Defects.

Introduction: Microvascular free tissue transfer has revolutionized the management of complex composite head and neck defects.

Aim: To evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes in the primary reconstruction of post-excisional near total hemifacial defects with the chimeric anterolateral thigh flaps (cALT).

Materials And Methods: The author as a prelude to this clinical study has done a cadaveric study on the quadriceps artery angiosome.

Primary Paraspinal Hydatidosis Causing Acute Paraplegia.

The zoonotic infection hydatidosis is caused by the tapeworm cestode, . Though considered endemic in India where association of humans with sheep and dogs form part of the livelihood, primary skeletal muscle involvement of the disease is an extremely rare event. We report a case of primary paraspinal hydatidosis with extradural extension causing acute paraplegia.
