Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery Osteoseptocutaneous Flap as a Reconstruction Method for Distal Radius Recurrent Giant Cell Tumour in the Case of a Bilateral Peroneal Magna Artery: An Eight-Year Follow-Up.

A vascularized fibula flap is an option to reconstruct osseous and soft tissue defects involving distal radius malignancy with massive soft tissue involvement. This reconstruction method is a strong anatomical construct for wrist arthrodesis and flexible septocutaneous tissue for closure. However, in rare cases of bilateral peroneal magna artery, a vascularized fibula flap is not a suitable option given its potential risk of limb ischemia.

Prognostic factors and survival rate of osteosarcoma: A single-institution study.

Aim: Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant primary bone tumor. The study aim to evaluate the prognostic factors influencing the survival rate in our center.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients treated between January 2005 and December 2010.

Clavicle fracture and subclavian vessels disruption with massive haemothorax mimic intrathoracic injury.

We report a case of open fracture of the clavicle with subclavian artery and vein laceration and perforation of the parietal pleural below the first rib that caused massive haemothorax. Emergency thoracotomy and exploration followed by repair of both vessels were able to salvage the patient and the extremity.
