Background: Reconstruction of distal foot defect remains a challenge in plastic surgery. The purpose of this report is to present a new procedure that repairs these defects in severe burn patients. Results of application and follow-up in 7 patients were presented.
Methods: From January 2016 to March 2018, a total of 7 patients (age ranging from 21 to 57 years) with distal foot defects were treated in our department. All the wounds were caused by severe burns and repaired by the free vascularized fascia lata combined with thin split-skin graft. After the operation, the status of the fascia flaps and grafted skin was observed, and follow-up information and complications were documented.
Results: Among the 7 patients, the flaps and grafted skins completely survived in 5 patients. One patient was found to have grafted skin necrosis in the perioperative period, and 1 patient was found to have partial flap necrosis in the follow-up period. After conventional dressing treatment and skin grafting, the wounds healed in both patients. The mean follow-up was 6 months.
Conclusions: The method of combining the free vascularized fascia lata with thin split-skin graft represents a satisfactory approach for the repairing of distal foot defects.

Coelurosauria, including modern birds, represents a successful group of theropod dinosaurs that established a high taxonomic diversity and significant morphological modifications. In the evolutionary history of this group, a specialized foot morphology, the arctometatarsus, evolved independently in several lineages and has been considered an adaptation for cursoriality. While its functional significance has been extensively studied, the temporal pattern of this parallel evolution, as well as its origin and influencing factors, remains largely unresolved.

Objective: The surgical team in this study examined the efficacy of a modified reverse sural neurocutaneous flap repair in treating soft tissue defects of the ankle and foot caused by accidents.
Methods: This study enrolled 89 patients treated for soft tissue defects of the ankle or foot between January 2007 and December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: 44 patients underwent a modified reverse sural neurocutaneous flap repair, while 45 received traditional treatment.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The 909th Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Zhangzhou, China.
Backgroud: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is one of the common degenerative diseases. Due to ethical constraints, it is difficult to obtain sufficient research on humans, so the use of an animal model of IDD is very important to clarify the pathogenesis and treatment mechanism of the disease.
Methods: In this study, thirty 2-month-old mice were selected for operation to establish a coccygeal IDD model.

Background: Pregnancy is associated with distinct risks of fascia thickness compared to nulliparous. Therefore, this study aimed to compare plantar fascia thickness between asymptomatic pregnant women and nulliparous, evaluating the relationship with age, body mass index (BMI), arch height index (AHI), gestational age, and number of pregnancies.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March 2023, and subjects were through a simple random sampling method.

Diabetic foot bacterial osteomyelitis is a serious infection that can lead to major amputations. However, fungal osteomyelitis in a diabetic foot ulcer is uncommon and has been underrecognized. It typically occurs in patients with underlying immunocompromised status and is associated with poor outcomes.
