"Y" Configuration of the Arterial Pedicle or the Use of a Saphenous Vein Graft for Microsurgical Reconstruction in the Old and Diseased-A Retrospective Study.

Non-healing soft tissue defects pose challenges to treating physicians. Microsurgical reconstruction is a treatment option for achieving wound closure and limb salvage. These free tissue transfers are often challenging due to associated risk factors.

Impact of body fat composition on liver iron overload severity in hemochromatosis: a retrospective MRI analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between ectopic adipose tissue and iron overload severity in patients with hemochromatosis.

Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort of 52 patients who underwent liver iron concentration quantification from January 2015 to October 2023 using a 3.0T MRI scanner.

Long-Term Functional Outcomes after Hand Burns: A Monocentric Controlled Cohort Study.

: Hand burns are involved in 80-90% of severe burn injuries. Even though hands correspond to a small total burn surface area (TBSA) of less than 5%, the loss of their functionality has a significant impact on the patient's life. Studies that provide long-term results regarding hand functionality after hand burns are scarce.

Ceramic Dressings-A New Non-Pharmacological Therapeutic Option in the Management of Chronic Wounds?

Unlabelled: A new ceramic dressing, free from active antimicrobial or pharmaceutical agents, uses physical binding mechanisms for its absorption capacities and bacterial-binding properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate wound healing, bacterial-related retention, and diagnostic properties of ceramic dressings in patients with stagnated chronic wounds.

Methods: In this monocentric, intra-individually controlled, prospective study, patients with conservatively treated refractory chronic wounds were enrolled.

Pedicled Rectus Femoris Flap for Restoration of Suprapatellar Quadriceps Tendon and Defect Coverage after Multiple Reconstruction Attempts-A Case Report and Literature Review.

Unlabelled: There is no unified approach for restoring the suprapatellar quadriceps tendon and covering tissue defects simultaneously. In this case report, we present the pedicled myocutaneous rectus femoris flap as one effective approach in two cases with extensive loss or impairment of the suprapatellar muscle-tendon structures after trauma-related suprapatellar quadriceps tendon rupture and multiple reconstruction attempts. Additionally, we provide a literature review of the reconstructive use of the functional pedicled myocutaneous rectus femoris flap.
