Skin graft monitoring using forward-looking infrared thermal imaging.

This study examined the feasibility of non-invasive infrared thermography to monitor skin graft viability. Sixty-three patients with skin defects attending a single institution from May 2022 to August 2023 were included. Patients underwent full-thickness or split-thickness skin grafts based on clinical indication.

Complicated calcified alloplastic implants in the nasal dorsum: A clinical analysis.

Background: In rhinoplasty, calcification around silicone implants is frequently observed in the tip dorsum (TD) area. Additionally, based on a review of various literature, it is presumed that calcification in silicone implants occurs due to both inflammatory chemical reactions and physical friction against the tissue. The calcification of nasal silicone implants not only results in the functional loss of the implants, but also leads to material deformation.

Tongue-in-Groove: A Novel Implant Design for a Blow-Out Fracture.

: During blow-out fracture surgery, restoration of the orbital volume and rigid implant fixation are essential. The migration of an implant is a concern of most surgeons. The purpose of this study was to introduce a simple idea of molding and fixing an orbital implant.

Does the advantage of transcutaneous oximetry measurements in diabetic foot ulcer apply equally to free flap reconstruction?

Background: Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcpO) is a precise method for determining oxygen perfusion in wounded tissues. The device uses either electrochemical or optical sensors.

Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of TcpO measurements on free flaps (FFs) in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

Breast filler granuloma mistaken for implant rupture: A case report.

Rationale: Breast augmentation is usually performed by inserting implants into the breasts. However, injectable fillers are sometimes used for the convenience of both patients and surgeons. If foreign substances, such as biomaterials, are injected into the body, complications such as inflammation, granuloma, and tissue necrosis can occur owing to foreign body reactions.

Recurrent intramuscular lipoma at extensor pollicis brevis: A case report.

Background: This report describes and discusses recurrent intramuscular lipoma (IML) of the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB). An IML usually occurs in a large muscle of the limb or torso. Recurrence of IML is rare.

A long-term follow-up study of diabetic foot ulcer using micronized acellular dermal matrix.

Treating a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) extending to the tendon or bone can be a challenge for physicians. Recent studies have shown positive results of micronized acellular dermal matrix (ADM) treatment for treating DFU. However, studies on such ADM with a long-term follow-up are rare.
