Severe Flexor Digitorum Profundus Muscular Adhesion by Pseudo-Volkmann's Contracture without Fracture: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Arch Plast Surg
November 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Gwangmyeong Sungae General Hospital, Gwangmyeong, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- - Volkmann's ischemic contracture involves permanent muscle and nerve damage from insufficient blood flow, leading to flexion contractures, whereas pseudo-Volkmann's contracture shares similar symptoms but can fully recover without ischemic damage.
- - A case study describes a 39-year-old man who experienced finger extension failure after blunt forearm trauma, showing progressive symptoms over two months despite no broken skin or bones.
- - Surgical intervention after two years revealed severe muscle adhesions due to the trauma, and immediate recovery was achieved after the adhesions were released, suggesting a diagnosis of pseudo-Volkmann's contracture.

Free Functional Muscle Transfer-Technical Considerations.
Clin Plast Surg
October 2024
Department of Surgery, Section of Plastic Surgery, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Free functional muscle transfers restore voluntary motion in extremities following the loss of local muscle-tendon units. Surgeons, at various levels of expertise, need to consider several technical aspects when performing this procedure. Successful and consistent outcomes can be attained by applying a combination of basic principles, drawing from techniques developed for successful tendon transfers and microsurgical free tissue transfers.

- Volkmann's ischaemic contracture (VIC) is a serious condition caused by reduced blood supply to limbs, but its incidence has decreased in developed countries, though it's still common in Nepal, prompting a detailed study.
- Over six years, 47 cases of VIC were analyzed, revealing that the majority involved preventable causes, such as tight casts and bandages, with most cases originating from province 6.
- The study concluded that VIC is largely preventable, and 97.87% of the cases could have been avoided with proper treatment, highlighting the need for improved primary care in Nepal, particularly in provinces 6 and 3.
Localised scleroderma and ischemic stroke: case report.
Postep Psychiatr Neurol
March 2024
Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: Scleroderma is a multisystemic disorder characterised by inflammatory and vascular anomalies, and excess fibrosis. Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) mainly progresses with skin, joint, lung, heart, and kidney involvement. Involvement of cerebral vessels is rare in both localised scleroderma and PSS.
