Radial Longitudinal Deficiency: Description of a Novel Surgical Technique and Clinical Cases.

Radial longitudinal deficiency III and IV present as a short upper limb, functional elbow, and wrist with severe radial and palmar angulation, where the carpus articulates with the radial and palmar edge of the ulna, allowing limited mobility in a nonfunctional position. Surgical treatment aims to correct radial angulation and flexed carpal position, often altering carpal positioning over the distal ulna and impacting wrist mobility. In addition, fixation through distal ulnar epiphysis affects its growth.

Terminal nerve entry points' locations to muscles of the thigh for selective peripheral neurectomy in the adult population: a cadaveric study.

Purpose: Spasticity is the result of a variety of lesions to the central nervous system and one of the most common causes of disability worldwide. Selective peripheral neurectomy (SPN) is a surgical procedure that permanently decreases focal spasticity. The authors' objective is to provide recommendations, in terms of probabilities, for locating terminal motor entry points to muscles of the thigh, as alternatives for proximal incision sites to SPN.

Use of an Adipofascial Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap to Improve Contour Following Resection of Upper Extremity Amniotic Band Constriction: A Report of Two Patients.

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a congenital disease that causes a variable degree of deformity and tissue disruption. Surgical excision of fibrotic tissue and advancement of local flaps is the gold standard for constriction bands of the upper limb. We report the use of an adipofascial Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery perforator (SCIP) flap to improve contour following amniotic band resection in the upper extremity in two patients with ABS.
