[Severe upper limb trauma related to escalator use. Pediatric case report].

Escalator-related injuries are rare but can be a medical emergency with potentially dangerous complications. The severe upper limb involvement related to injury occurred on an escalator is described. A two year-old patient suffered a fall going down an escalator; her left arm was caught between one of the steps and the comb of the last step.

Refining the extended circumflex scapular flap for neck burn reconstruction: A 30-year experience.

Introduction: Neck burn sequelae remain a major challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. To achieve satisfactory functional and aesthetic results, the anterior neck aesthetic unit must be covered as a single unit. In cases where free flaps are required, harvesting a flap of sufficient size can cause major donor site morbidity.

Antegrade Peroneal Flap through the Interosseous Membrane for Knee and Distal Femur Coverage.

Background: Antegrade peroneal flaps can be rotated around the fibula to cover defects in the lower leg and lateral knee. However, these flaps cannot reliably cover the distal femur and anterior and medial knee. In the present article, the authors describe a novel technical modification that involves creating a tunnel through the interosseous membrane, through which the flap can be passed, circumventing the need to rotate around the fibula, allowing it to reach the entire knee and distal femur.

ABC preoperative triage system in breast augmentation.

Background: A successful outcome of elective aesthetic surgery should be preceded by clear criteria for patient selection. A solid patient-doctor bond and, ideally, a relationship where "empathy" is the key should be the goal before proceeding. We describe the usefulness of a new practical psychological triage system: the 5 Preoperative Key Points.
