In this article, we report two cases in which recurrent adhesive hand neuropathy with allodynia were successfully treated with radial and ulnar artery adipofascial perforator flap coverage. Treatment of recurrent neuropathy, such as recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome and re-adhesion after neurolysis using free and pedicle flaps to cover the nerves, has been reported to show good results. However, for severe painful nerve disorders, such as complex regional pain syndrome, the efficacy of this treatment was unclear. We present two cases diagnosed with recurrent adhesive hand neuropathy with allodynia, resulting from wrist cutting; these cases were treated with neurolysis and flap coverage with good results and no recurrence. This suggests that neurolysis and flap coverage are effective methods for treating complex regional pain syndrome.

We carried out a cadaver study using 10 fresh-frozen adult legs and hands to explore technical feasibility and reproducibility of the free Medial Sural Artery Perforator flap and its applicability for covering soft tissue defects in the hand. A mean of 2 cutaneous perforators (1-4) were found. Each flap had a pedicle composed of a main perforator that arose from the medial sural artery.

Pressure injuries, particularly among patients with spinal cord injuries and the elderly, significantly contribute to morbidity, mortality, and financial sequelae. Surgical interventions, including debridement and flaps, may improve outcomes, especially for stage 3 and 4 pressure injuries. This survey assesses Canadian plastic surgeons' perspectives and practices regarding the surgical management of these injuries.

The epitome of periodontal plastic surgical procedures is to achieve coverage of the denuded root surface and flawless esthetics. Connective tissue graft (CTG) along with coronally advanced flap (CAF) is the most frequent approach, which is considered a gold standard remedy. The procurement of CTG requires a second surgical site morbidity.

Lower limb injuries resulting from sports activities, industrial accidents, and traffic incidents represent a significant global healthcare challenge. These injuries often entail a high risk of complications, especially when fractures are associated with substantial soft tissue damage. Open fractures classified as Gustilo type II or III are particularly susceptible to complications such as fistula and osteomyelitis.

Periodontal procedures often require flap advancement for adequate coverage of the surgical site, with tension-free primary closure essential for successful outcomes. Although the periosteal releasing incision is frequently performed, it may necessitate deeper or more incisions, which could result in consequences such as edema, bleeding, paresthesia, and discomfort for the patient. To address these issues, the modified periosteal releasing incision was proposed to minimize trauma into the submucosa.
