Introduction: Blunt brachial artery injuries (BAI) require reconstruction with an extensive vein graft due to the wide area of arterial damage. In the upper arm, safe options for pedicle flaps are limited, and selecting recipient vessels for free-flap surgery is challenging, complicating the treatment of soft tissue injuries associated with blunt BAI. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and soft tissue reconstruction of blunt BAI and propose treatment strategies for treating associated soft tissue injuries.

Anti-microbial practices, including povidone-iodine (PVP-I) breast pocket irrigation, are routinely employed to minimise these risks. No standardised protocol for using this antiseptic exists, particularly concerning the ideal concentration.

Trigonocephaly occurs when the metopic suture fuses prematurely. Few studies have documented the morphometry of the entire anterior cranium in trigonocephaly and not on the morphometric changes to the cranial fossae alone. Thus, this study aimed to determine and compare the dimensions of the anterior cranial fossa (ACF) in trigonocephaly and control groups.
