Exploring the Demographic and Social Correlates of Burn Injuries: A Comprehensive Study From a Regional Burn Center in Pakistan.

Burn injuries pose significant challenges to both patients and healthcare systems globally. This retrospective observational study, conducted at the burn center in a tertiary care hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, aimed to delineate the patterns of burn injuries and correlate them with demographic and clinical presentations. A total of 99 patients were included, with 54 males and 45 females, ranging in age from three months to 70 years.

Ancient Schawanoma of radial nerve: a rare case report.

Soft tissue swellings on the forearm can present with a range of clinical and histopathological diagnosis. Ancient Schawanoma is a rare benign condition that can develop over the flexor surface of the forearm as a cystic swelling and can involve the median or the ulnar nerve. However, the presentation of this condition on the extensor surface with involvement of the radial nerve is an extremely uncommon diagnosis.

Acquired Radial Club Hand: An Algorithm to Manage Radial Deficiency.

Introduction Loss of radius either due to trauma or infection results in a deformity resembling a congenital radial club hand. This deformity results in difficulty to perform hand functions and cosmetic appearance and is called acquired radial club hand. There are a few case reports for the treatment of this severe deformity, but there are no proper guidelines for the management of this disease.

An Assessment of the Reduction of Submental Fullness With ATX-101 (Deoxycholic Acid Injection) in the Expanded Safe Zone.

Background and objective Facial aesthetics have a huge impact on how individuals view themselves and are viewed by society. The aesthetics of the face are tremendously influenced by the shape of the chin and neck. In this study, we aimed to observe the outcomes in individuals after the use of ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid injection) in an expanded safe zone for submental fullness.

Two-Stage Cross-Hand Transfer: A Case Report.

This is a case report of a patient who presented with amputation of all digits of the left hand just distal to the metacarpophalangeal joint level due to a fodder cutter injury one year ago. There was poliomyelitis of the right hand since childhood. The patient was managed at the National Orthopedic Hospital, Bahawalpur, in 2014-2015.

Outcome of Buried Versus Exposed Kirchner Wires in Terms of Infection in Fractures of Phalanges and Metacarpal Bones of Hand.

Introduction and objective The fracture of hand bones is very common among manual hand workers and a fractured hand imparts a great effect on a person's productivity both socioeconomically and from a body image point of view. The most common method of hand fractures fixation is with the help of Kirschner wires. Kirchner wires can be inserted in exposed or in buried manner.

Rotationplasty for Spindle Cell Tumor of Tibia.

Rotationplasty has gained popularity for lower limb salvage in oncological resection in place of amputation. It provides more reliable and functional results, with overwhelming cosmetic concerns. We discuss the use of this functional and oncologically reliable technique for an 18-year-old male patient who presented with malignant spindle cell carcinoma.

Vacuum-assisted Closure in Integration of Skin Graft Over Scalp Wounds: A Randomised Control Trial.

Objective: To compare outcome of split thickness graft with and without vacuum-assisted closure over the scalp soft tissue defects in terms of graft take and complications.

Study Design: Randomised controlled trial.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Plastic Surgery, Jinnah Burns and Reconstructive Surgery Centre, Lahore, from June 2017 to June 2018.

Early Active Mobilization Vs Immobilization Following Modified Kessler Repair Of Extrinsic Extensor Tendons In Zone V TO VII.

Background: The long-disputed issue of rehabilitation of extensor tendon repairs in zones V-VII has been treated with either complete immobilization or mobilization within the constraints of splint. In recent times, most authors have preferred some mobilization. Many studies have shown good results with early mobilization techniques; however, these studies have limitations.

Effectiveness of platelets rich plasma versus corticosteroids in lateral epicondylitis.

Objective: To compare the treatment modalities of lateral epicondylitis in terms of pain relief.

Methods: The randomised controlled study was conducted at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan, from April 2013 to March 2014, and comprised cases of lateral epicondylitis. The patients were selected through consecutive sampling from the outpatient department and were randomly allocated to two equal groups; group A receiving corticosteroid injections, and group B receiving injection of platelet-rich plasma.

Hemisoleus muscle flap, a better option for coverage of open fractures involving middle third of tibia.

Background: Local reconstructive options for middle third of leg make good use of Soleus muscle flap. Soleus being the prime ankle planter flexor and stabiliser of the ankle in ambulation cannot be sacrificed without significant morbidity. Soleus is a bipennate muscle with independent blood supply of each half.
