A 50-year-old man presented with shortness of breath. The patient underwent ventricular septation for a single ventricle with L-malposition of the great arteries at 6 years of age. Examinations revealed that the calcified patch for septation was torn and perforated, resulting in a left-to-right shunt.

Wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has demonstrated its value in hand surgery allowing surgeons to safely operate patients in different settings outside of a formal operating room (OR). Flexor tendon lacerations have historically been repaired in the controlled setting of an OR. Plastic surgeons at our university-affiliated center have increasingly been performing flexor repairs in clinic-based procedure rooms (PRs).

Background: Facial trauma repair requires precise reconstruction while preserving aesthetic units. Traditional local anesthesia can distort tissue planes and compromise surgical precision.
Methods: This prospective study evaluated landmark-based nerve blocks versus local infiltration for complex facial laceration repair in emergency settings from January 2022 through February 2023.

Background: After surgical repair of rotator cuff (RC) tears, the torn tendon heals unsatisfactorily to the greater tuberosity owing to limited regeneration of the bone-tendon (BT) insertion. This situation motivates the need for new interventions to enhance BT healing in the RC repair site.
Purpose: To develop injectable fibrocartilage-forming cores by tethering fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) on acellular fibrocartilage matrix microparticles (AFM-MPs) and evaluate their efficacy on BT healing.

In our tertiary plastic surgery center, patients with wounds that will not be treated surgically, including complex pretibial wounds, that would traditionally have been managed operatively are managed on an outpatient basis in a nurse-led pretibial laceration clinic. We conducted a study to investigate dressing usage and assess correlators with healing time or number of appointments. We collected data regarding dressings used, time to discharge, and number of appointments retrospectively over 14 months between 2019 and 2021.
