Analysis of clinical characteristics in patients with diabetic foot ulcers undergoing amputation and establishment of a nomogram prediction model.

To assess the accuracy of a nomogram for predicting the risk of lower-extremity amputation (LEA) in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). We retrospectively analyzed data from 144 patients with DFUs at the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, collected between January 2020 and December 2023. Univariate analysis determined primary predictive factors for amputation, followed by single and multifactor logistic regression analyses to indentify independent factors.

Combined Pedicled Trapezius Flap With Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Treating a Traumatic Chest Wall Defect With Intrathoracic Infection.

Background: Traumatic chest wall defect normally involves severe tissue damage and easily develops into intrathoracic infection. The challenge for doctors is to control the infection and reconstruct the chest wall defect. However, not much experience has been reported on how to control the intrathoracic infection and reconstruct the chest wall defect when the most commonly used muscle flaps are damaged.

Recurrent multiple neurofibromatosis type 1 of the right lower limb.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, which is characterized by the presence of multiple neurofibromas. We encountered a case in which a sporadic dispersed neurofibroma recurred locally on numerous occasions extending over 16 years. The patient developed multiple masses with a focus of neurofibroma on the right lower limb, which were excised.

Comparative study of lateral condyle fracture with or without posteromedial elbow dislocation in children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical findings and clinical outcomes of the lateral condylar fractures of the humerus with or without posteromedial elbow dislocation in children.

Methods: Between January 2013 and June 2016, a total of 21 Milch type II humeral condylar fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The average follow-up was 2.

Repeated Multiple Neurofibromatosis Type 1 in the Right Lower Limb: A Case Report.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal-dominant genetic disease characterized by the presence of multiple neurofibromas. We encountered a unique case of NF1 that manifested as a recurrent soft tissue neurofibroma in the right lower limb that developed over a period of 16 years. The patient presented with a painless mass that was initially diagnosed as inflammatory changes via computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
