Background: Color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) is a widely proposed noninvasive diagnostic tool in microsurgery. CCDS has been applied to lower extremity salvage cases to define appropriate blood flow velocity criteria for achieving arterial success in diabetic foot and complex microsurgery cases. This study aimed to compare the success ratio of free flaps when using CCDS versus cases where CCDS was not used.

- Zone I extensor tendon lesions often come with a bone avulsion fracture, and a typical treatment method can lead to complications like tissue necrosis in the finger pad.
- Zhang proposed an alternative anchor method using cerclage secured to a Kirschner Wire (K-wire) to reduce pressure in the finger pad.
- A study comparing nylon and wire cerclage techniques found no significant differences in various outcomes like cosmetic satisfaction and stiffness, but patients reported more pain during the removal of cerclage with wire compared to nylon.
