The Hoffman transfixation equipment for fracture fixation gives simultaneously an excellent fixation of a flap in cross-leg procedures. Because of these favourable results in 42 cases this method for the fixation of the extremities in predicle flap procedures is recommended. It is possible to divide the flaps much earlier than is customary. In this material half of the flaps were divided on the 14th day or earlier. One or two preoperative flap delays are recommended. The method produces safer and faster healing of the flap.

Use of reverse sural artery cross leg flap for limb salvage in low resource setting: A case report and literature review.
Int J Surg Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Plastic Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Introduction: Soft tissue defect in the lower limb presents as a difficult reconstructive challenge. Cross-leg flap was routinely used in the past for the salvage of the lower limb but is seldom used nowadays due to advances in microsurgical procedures.
Case Presentation: We present a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with a complex soft tissue defect of 25 × 10 cm on the anterolateral aspect of the right leg following a motor vehicle accident.

Background: To explore the method and curative effect of minimally invasive treatment of gluteal muscle contracture (GMC) with self-made special cutter combined with special compression hemostasis device.
Methods: The data of 88 patients with GMC treated in our hospital from May 2017 to January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into two groups according to different surgical instruments and hemostatic devices.
Impact of Significant Sac Shrinkage on Endograft Tortuosity at 5 Years Postendovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Retrospective Analysis.
Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Background: Significant sac shrinkage after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is generally considered a positive outcome indicative of durable clinical success. However, its impact on endograft configuration is rarely addressed. Sac remodeling and volume loss due to shrinkage can potentially cause deformation of endograft components, resulting in limb angulation and compression.

Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
Background And Aims: To compare ultra-sonographic dimensions of acoustic target window of the spine in the participants at four different sitting positions namely cross leg sitting (CLP), hamstring stretch (HSP), classical sitting (CSP) and riders sitting position (RSP). The primary objective of this study was to measure the neuraxial acoustic target window (defined as interlaminar distance between L3-L4 lamina). The secondary objective was to compare ultra-sonographic measurements of the depth of ligamentum flavum from the skin, and to compare the diameter of intrathecal space and comfort score in the four different sitting positions.
