[Baropodometric analysis of the functional donor-site morbidity after gastrocnemius or soleus muscle-flap procedure].

The triceps surae muscle is a major donor-site for muscle-flap to cover soft-tissue defects of the leg. There are very limited datas on the functional donor-site morbidity in the literature. From a retrospective study on 14 patients, we realized a baropodometric analysis comparing the operated lower limb with the healthy non operated side and a functional evaluation by a questionary.

Emergency management of traumatic collateral palmar digital nerve defect inferior to 30 mm by venous grafting. Report of 12 clinical cases.

Introduction: When traumatic collateral palmar digital nerve defect occurs, emergency venous grafting is an alternative to the two-step nervous grafting procedure.

Methods: During the course of a monocentric retrospective study, 12 cases of emergency venous grafting were reviewed by a single independent examiner 11 months, at least, post-intervention. Clinical and functional evaluation was carried out, together with a self-assessment of the results by the patient.

[Influence of palmar digital artery patency on neurological recovery of palmar digital nerve lesions].

Should the palmar digital artery be repaired in the pedicular section of the finger? This repair is discussed in the case of a unilateral pedicular lesion on a vascularised finger, and often neglected in current surgical practice. The problem is knowing the role of a permeable artery in sensory recovery and cold intolerance. The author presents a retrospective study on palmar digital nerve reinnervation after section with or without palmar digital artery section.

[Retrospective monocentric comparative evaluation by sifting of vein grafts versus nerve grafts in palmar digital nerves defects. Report of 32 cases].

Aim: Palmar digital nerves defects can be treated by conventional nerve grafts or by means of a conduit, such as a vein. We compared a vein graft technique to a nerve graft technique in a retrospective monocentric study.

Material And Method: A surgeon who was not involved in the treatment reviewed blind 15 nerve grafts and 17 vein grafts.

[Acute periprosthetic infection after aesthetic breast augmentation. Report of three cases of implant "salvage". Proposal of a standardized protocol of care].

The authors report three cases of contaminated implant "salvage" after aesthetic breast augmentation. Patients' care included a lavage of the pocket, a change of the implant and an adapted bi-antibiotherapy of 6 weeks, including 8 days intravenous. In one case, this protocol has been started after failure of antibiotherapy alone.
