Radiocarpal Joint Reconstruction with a Double Free Metatarsophalangeal Joint Transfer.

Background: Destruction of the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints causes loss of wrist motion, pain, and reduced grip strength. A novel technique for radiocarpal reconstruction is presented.

Methods: Two patients who had radiocarpal and midcarpal destruction and osteoarthritis underwent reconstruction using simultaneous bilateral microvascular second metatarsophalangeal joint transfer.

Circumferential Radical Debridement and Omental Free Flap in the Treatment of Severe Chronic Venous Ulcers.

Background: Chronic venous leg ulcers are a significant health care burden with a difficult and unreliable treatment. Free flaps may be needed for wound coverage in severe cases. Incomplete removal of dermatoliposclerosis (DLS) area and/or not addressing the underlying venous dysfunction may contribute to the reported modest long-term results.

Reconstruction of the Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon with Vascularized Tendon with Ulnar Artery Preservation.

Unlabelled: Reconstruction of the flexor pollicis longus tendon using staged grafting yields modest results. A modification of the pedicled vascularized flexor digitorum superficialis transfer, without division of the ulnar artery, was used in five patients.

Methods: The flexor digitorum superficialis and its gliding tissue were transferred in five patients, based on a branch of the ulnar artery without division of the ulnar vessels.
