Toddler's fractures are commonly encountered in pediatric healthcare. These injuries are associated with little to no risk of fracture displacement or failure to heal, regardless of treatment modality. The standard treatment for these injuries has historically been several weeks of weightbearing restriction and immobilization in a circumferential cast or posterior splint.

The ability for snakes to ingest large prey (macrostomy) is a widespread, derived trait that involves distending the skin during ingestion and metabolic upregulation during digestion. The material behavior of the skin must accommodate significant stretch associated with a large prey bolus, but data remain sparse for how the material properties of snake skin vary: longitudinally within an individual, after ingesting large prey and among species. To test whether these three factors affected the mechanical properties of snake skin, we quantified uniaxial stresses and strains in circumferential loops of skin from the neck, mid-body and tail of fasted and recently fed Boa constrictor.

Penetrating neck injury (PNI), involving disruption of the platysma muscle, accounts for 10% of trauma cases and poses significant morbidity and mortality risks. This case report details the management of a 45-year-old male who sustained a 270-degree circumferential neck incision from an industrial accident. The patient presented with a deep neck laceration, severe blood loss, and hypovolemic shock.

Clitoral hypertrophy is a condition that has a negative impact on a womans intimate life and can cause embarrassment and impact on her sexual life. The article describes a surgical technique of clitoroplasty performed with a 360° circumferential subcoronal incision only in the skin and Dartos tunica to avoid neuronal damage, followed by degloving to the base of the clitoris, preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle. The body of the clitoris was amputated, preserving 0.

Kunze-Riehm syndrome, commonly known as Michelin tire baby syndrome (MTBS), is a rare genetic disease characterized by multiple circumferential skin folds on the limbs and trunk. The exact etiology, mechanism, and prognosis of MTBS remain poorly understood. Symptoms other than the circumferential skin folds, as well as the severity of the condition, vary among cases, ranging from only skin folds to severe neurological complications.
