Background: Reconstruction of inner lining of the nose often requires complex surgical procedures.
Methodology: To evaluate the scar hinge flap as an alternative reconstruction technique, 21 patients with full-thickness defects of the ala who received a scar hinge flap were retrospectively analysed.
Results: Twenty-one patients were included. The average defect size was 1.9 cm2. Cartilage grafts were used in 11 patients. For skin reconstruction the scar hinge flap was covered by local flaps, interpolated melolabial flaps, full-thickness skin grafts, or paramedian forehead flaps. The mean follow-up was 10.7 months. No severe complications were observed.
Conclusions: The scar hinge flap is a safe and simple technique for reconstruction of the inner lining of the nose although it is limited being a two-stage procedure.

Modifications to the WHISTLE Flap Procedure for Correction of Secondary Cleft Lip Deformities.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
May 2024
From the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Utah, School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Article Synopsis
- The WHISTLE flap procedure is a surgical technique developed to correct the whistle deformity, which is a tissue deficiency in the upper lip caused by cleft lip repair, and aims to improve the appearance of the lip.* -
- A study involving 11 patients showed that adding tailored mucomuscular flaps and mucosal Z-plasty to the WHISTLE flap procedure resulted in 90.1% of patients achieving satisfactory cosmetic outcomes without needing additional interventions.* -
- The findings suggest that this enhanced WHISTLE flap technique is effective for treating whistle deformities, offering excellent cosmetic results and no functional impairments. *
Current trends in the prevention of adhesions after zone 2 flexor tendon repair.

Treating flexor tendon injuries within the digital flexor sheath (commonly referred to as palmar hand zone 2) presents both technical and logistical challenges. Success hinges on striking a delicate balance between safeguarding the surgical repair for tendon healing and initiating early rehabilitation to mitigate the formation of tendon adhesions. Adhesions between tendon slips and between tendons and the flexor sheath impede tendon movement, leading to postoperative stiffness and functional impairment.

Objective: The superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach (SETOA) provides a direct and short minimally invasive route to the anterior and middle skull base. Nevertheless, it uses a narrow corridor that limits its angles of attack. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of an "extended" conservative variant of the "standard" endoscopic transorbital approach-termed "open-door"-to enhance the exposure of lesions affecting the paramedian aspect of the anterior and middle cranial fossae.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas.
Background: The minimally invasive chevron Akin osteotomy technique is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic mild to moderate hallux valgus deformities. The aim of the procedure is to restore alignment of the first ray while minimizing soft-tissue disruption.
Description: Prior to the procedure, radiographs are utilized to characterize the patient's hallux valgus deformity by determining the hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle.
Chronic Achilles Tendon Avulsion Repair: Central Third Fascia Slide Technique with Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer.

Foot and Ankle Division, Department of Orthopaedics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic Achilles tendon defects over 6 cm lead to significant walking issues and decreased strength, presenting a surgical challenge with no standard treatment.
- The proposed Central Third Fascia Slide (CTFS) technique, which incorporates flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer, provides a solution without using allograft tissue to restore tendon function.
- This method involves a unique surgical approach where the fascia is slid down rather than turned, effectively treating large tendon gaps while promoting better healing and function post-surgery.
