AI Article Synopsis

  • * The vascularised periosteal flap, taken from the medial femoral condyle, helped improve the success of the bone graft and the skin graft healing.
  • * This method is recommended for patients suffering from severe crush injuries to the fingers that result in both bone loss and dorsal skin defects. *

Article Abstract

We reconstructed a segmental bone defect in a finger associated with a dorsal skin defect using a bone graft covered with a free medial femoral condyle periosteal flap and a skin graft in two patients. The vascularised periosteal flap (VPF) improved the survival of the bone graft and allowed the take of the skin graft. The use of a VPF can be considered in patients with crush injury of the digits with segmental loss of bone and dorsal skin Level V (Therapeutic).

Clin Adv Periodontics

Department of Periodontology, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: Various surgical techniques have recently been developed for periodontal tissue regeneration, especially those do not involve any incisions in the interdental papillae at the regeneration site. These techniques have significant advantages for obtaining clinical attachment gain with least amount of gingival recession, however, may also have disadvantages such as limited field of surgical view, difficulty in debridement, and limited access only from the buccal side. This case report addresses a 2-year follow-up with a novel surgical approach to achieve periodontal regeneration that overcomes these limitations: the flexible tunnel technique (FTT).

A vascularized free fibula flap is often used to reconstruct bone defects. However, bone resorption within the osteotomized segment is often observed. This may be attributed to damage to bone blood flow supplied by nonpenetrating periosteal vessels (NPPVs); however, there are few studies on NPPVs in the fibula.

Objectives: This preclinical ex vivo porcine study aimed to evaluate the effects of two flap advancement techniques and periosteal suturing (PS) on graft material displacement during primary wound closure in guided bone regeneration (GBR). Secondary objectives included assessing flap advancement and the impact of soft tissue characteristics on graft displacement.

Materials And Methods: Standardized two-walled horizontal bone defects were created in second premolar sites of pig hemimandibles.

Background: The periosteum is the main organ responsible for bone regeneration. Vascularized Periosteal Grafts (VPG) have demonstrated exceptional efficacy and speed in facilitating bone union among children with challenging bone healing conditions. Despite their promising results, the overall impact of these interventions has yet to be comprehensively evaluated through systematic review.
