Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of the perforator-based propeller flaps (PPFs) based on digital artery (DA) and dorsal metacarpal artery (DMA) in repairing hand wounds.

Methods: The clinical data of 45 patients with hand wounds between January 2018 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 27 males and 18 females with an average age of 41.

Penile amputation is a rare deformity mostly resulting from self-mutilation, felonious assault, or accidental trauma, and penile reconstruction or phalloplasty is necessary when microreplantation cannot be performed. Here we report a rare case of a 42-year-old man with traumatic penile amputation and describe surgical techniques for partial penile reconstruction by using a novel innervated and vascularized radial thenar flap free grafting method. Excellent cosmetic and functional results were reported with no severe complications of dysuria, urethral stricture, and urinary fistula were observed during the 23 months of postoperative follow-up time.

Objective: To explore a new method for repair of concurrent skin and nerve defect at palm and carpal on ulnar side.

Methods: From April 2000 to August 2009, five cases with concurrent skin and nerve defect at palm and carpal on ulnar side were reconstructed with free medial plantar flaps. Palmar nervous proprii defect at ulnar side of little finger was repaired by the first toe tibia nervous proprii in one case.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to enhance clinical understanding of the hook of hamate bone and the deep branch of the ulnar nerve to better treat related injuries.
  • Researchers collected and examined 52 upper limb specimens, including both preserved and fresh corpses, utilizing methods like CT 3D reconstruction for detailed analysis.
  • Findings reveal that the hook of hamate bone is crucial in the ulnar carpal canal, closely associated with the ulnar nerve and finger tendons, and showed consistent anatomical and imaging features without significant statistical differences.
