We report 4 cases of extremity reconstruction using Bilayer Wound Matrix with plan to perform two-stage procedures. Patient preference or non-compliance led to single-stage reconstruction with wound re-epithelialization. In this setting, dermal matrices may be used as single-stage stand alone wound reconstruction procedures, even in patients with comorbid conditions.

The purpose of this study was to validate the success of revision arthroscopic circumferential allograft labral reconstruction (CLR) in nonarthritic hips, which, in the rare case of failure, had previously undergone labral reconstruction by the same surgeon. Using a minimum of 24-month follow-up, data from 24 hips having undergone revision CLR were analyzed to determine improvements in patient-reported outcomes (PROs). All included cases completed a minimum of 24 months follow-up, with a success rate of 96%.

January 2025

Adult Reconstruction, Orthopedic Surgery Department, Lenox Hill Hospital Northwell Health, New York, New York.

» Lumbar spine pathology is a known cause of referred pain to the lower extremities and should be investigated as a possible source of knee pain, especially with patients in their sixth decade.» While primary knee pathology is common, spinal pathology should always be considered in older patients presenting with knee pain, especially in atraumatic cases where knee imaging does not correlate with complaints or examination findings.» Lumbar (L) 3-4 pathology is most commonly affected in referred knee pain, with the 2 most common pathologies being spinal stenosis and disc herniation.

Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome (IVCS) is a common risk factor for deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. The objective of this study was to investigate whether employing a porous medium model to simulate the compressed region of an iliac vein could improve the reliability and accuracy of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis outcomes of IVCS. Pre-operative Computed Tomography (CT) scan images of patients with IVCS were utilized to reconstruct models illustrating both the compression and collateral circulation of the iliac vein.

The Charles procedure (CP) is a potentially devastating treatment; however, in cases of an end stage of untreated or improperly treated lymphedema, it is the ultimate surgical therapy. As a life-saving solution, it quickly relieves patients with giant, hypertrophic extremities, mostly in ambulation and hygiene maintenance. Nevertheless, long-term results may disappoint both doctors and patients, who struggle with social stigma, the need for lifelong compression, massive lymphoedema in the distal parts of the feet, badly fitting shoes, excessive skin fibrosis, severe keratinization of skin-grafted surfaces, periodic lymphorrhea from the resected areas, or acute and chronic inflammation.
