The anterolateral thigh flap is usually used as a free flap for various kinds of reconstruction and resurfacing of distant areas. Cover of a deep trochanteric pressure sore is commonly made by muscular or musculocutaneous flaps such as tensor of fascia lata or vastus lateralis. We report the case of a trochanteric pressure sore covered by a fasciocutaneous pedicled anterolateral thigh flap after negative pressure therapy in a 58-year-old paraplegic patient. After 6 months, a good quality of coverage was obtained with minimal morbidity of donor site. The pedicled fasciocutaneous anterolateral flap appears as a reliable option for the treatment of trochanteric pressure sore.

Introduction In the UK, hip fractures are a common reason for presentations to the emergency departments, which places significant pressure on NHS hospitals, appropriate choice of an implant to treat the hip fracture is one among many other factors that affect patients' outcomes. This audit aims to identify and compare the outcome difference between the dynamic hip screws (DHS) and short cephalomedullary nails in the treatment of extracapsular hip fractures. Methods In a retrospective study of 52 patients admitted as a result of hip fractures in one NHS trust, data collection was done from the patients' records using the trust's online system, we studied different variables to compare the outcome difference between DHS and short intramedullary (IM) nails, two senior authors interpreted the patients' X-rays and verified the coding and classification of the neck of femur fractures.

(1) Background: The main characteristic of fibromyalgia (FM) is generalized musculoskeletal pain. This may be accompanied by muscle and joint stiffness, sleep and mood disorders, anxiety and depression, cognitive dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. It is endemic in developed countries, with a higher prevalence among women than men, and its etiology is still unknown.

In humans, wound healing is a vital but complex process governed by chronological yet overlapping stages, such as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Because of the complexities of wound healing, it is prone to pausing at multiple levels. Wound healing can potentially be influenced by factors that affect cellular functions and physiologic responses.
