Polypropylene Prosthesis in the Treatment of Extended Injuries and Coverage of Graft-free Donor Areas: Case Series.

 To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of polypropylene prostheses in the treatment of extensive limb injuries.  There were 13 patients evaluated for the final aspects of the treatment, including the presence of epithelization and granulation, reduction of raw area, and coverage of deep structures.  A reduction greater than 40% of the raw area in all cases and complete coverage of noble structures were visualized.

Radial Head Arthroplasty Through a Posterior Elbow Approach in Monteggia Type IID Fracture-Dislocation: A Case Report.

Monteggia fracture-dislocation is an inherently unstable injury in the elbow region, characterized by a fracture of the proximal ulna associated with dislocation of the radial head, often with high rates of postoperative complications. Some variants of this injury involve a combination with a fracture of the radial head, which further complicates the scenario, often requiring multiple surgical approaches, increasing soft tissue damage, and promoting a higher risk of complications. The objective of this study is to report the case of a patient undergoing surgical intervention through a posterior approach to the elbow, during which radial head arthroplasty and ulna osteosynthesis were performed.
