Characterizing the medical and social complexity experienced by Inuit children and their families from Nunavut who access care at an urban Canadian tertiary level paediatric hospital.

We aimed to characterise the medical and social complexities experienced by Inuit children and their families from Nunavut who were cared for at a general paediatrics clinic at an urban tertiary-level hospital located in Eastern Ontario. A retrospective chart review of this cohort was completed between 2016 and 2019. Two independent reviewers extracted data from charts.

Role of Free Flaps in Facial Burn Reconstructions.

Multiple Free Flaps and Second Toe Transfer to Salvage Grasp Function in Bilateral Complete Degloved Hands.

A 21-year-old male laborer sustained bilateral degloving injury of the hands with multiple digital amputations and devascularized digits. After X-rays, preliminary debridement was done, when digital amputations were completed, including index ray amputation on both sides. The next day, two anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps and one second toe transfer were done to restore coverage in the palm and the web and reconstruct the lost thumb.
