Dorsal Carpal Artery Perforator Flaps: An Anatomical and Clinical Study.

Background: Hand injuries pose challenges due to complexity and aesthetic-functional concerns. Dorsum of hand injuries are difficult to treat due to thin skin cover and increased propensity to exposure of underlying structures. Perforator-based flaps can provide better outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.

Free Flap Monitoring Using Infrared Thermography: An Objective Adjunct to Clinical Monitoring.

 Early detection of free flap compromise is critical for salvage of the flap. Various methods of free flap monitoring have been described, but clinical assessment is the standard method for among all. In this study, role of infrared thermography is evaluated for free flap monitoring.

Innervated vastus lateralis muscle: complementing and completing the anterolateral thigh flap for abdominal wall reconstruction.

Reconstruction of composite abdominal wall defects is challenging. An anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has established itself in the algorithm for abdominal wall reconstruction. Augmenting innervated vastus lateralis (iVL) muscle to ALT has added advantages.

Heterotopic Ossification After Reconstruction with Free Fibula Flap - an Ambiguous Mishap.

Heterotopic ossifications (HO) are rare, yet, well reported complications after free flap transfer. We present a case of HO that occurred within a month, and has not been previously described in the literature. This serves as a reminder that bony hard swellings proximal to the free flap within a month should raise the suspicion of HO.

The Colossal Mandibular Ameloblastoma: Surgical Challenges and Current Perspectives of Management.

Ameloblastoma is the most common aggressive benign odontogenic tumour of the jaws. Ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumour that typically arises in the mandible or maxilla. A clinical, radiographic and histopathological report is presented of a case of giant acanthomatous ameloblastoma in the left hemi mandible of a 46-year-old healthy lady.

A Prospective Trial Comparing Outcomes at 11 Months of a Standard Cross-Finger Flap versus a Laterally Based Thenar Flap for Fingertip Reconstruction.

The standard cross-finger flap (CFF) and laterally based thenar flap (LTF) are the time-tested modalities of fingertip reconstruction. We were unable to find any studies that have compared these two flaps for fingertip reconstruction. The aim of this study is compare the outcomes of these two flaps at 11 months after fingertip reconstruction.

Fingertip Amputation Reconstruction with VY Advancement Flap: Literature Review and Comparative Analysis of Atasoy and Kutler Flaps.

Background: Many different flaps had been described to cover exposed bone in fingertip amputations and injuries. The variants of VY advancement flap, by far the simplest, had proven to render good functional and aesthetic outcome. We aimed to revisit and compare the various VY advancement flaps in fingertip reconstruction.

Finger pulp reconstruction with thenar flap: Aesthetic and functional outcome.

Purpose: Fingertip injuries are common in industrial production activities as well as in domestic work. Loss of pulp hampers daily life activities. Functional and aesthetic aspects are important in fingertip reconstruction.
