Introduction: A combined technique of In situ preparation (ISP) and adjuvant radiotherapy in a case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) encasing the radial nerve was attempted successfully, which can be considered for the preservation of neurovascular structure close to soft-tissue sarcomas for a good functional and oncological outcome.

Case Presentation: A 41-year-old female diagnosed with UPS of the left arm underwent, en bloc excision of the lesion along with the preservation of encased radial nerve using ISP followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient has good functional outcome and a local recurrence free and overall survival of 5 years.

Conclusion: We reported a case of UPS encasing the left radial nerve, where ISP technique and adjuvant radiotherapy were successfully attempted for attaining a good functional and oncological outcome.

Functional soft palate reconstruction.

JPRAS Open

March 2025

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, Aesthetic, and Hand Surgery, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.

Background: The excision of oropharyngeal carcinoma of more than 50% of the soft palate followed by static reconstruction may result in functional deficits, including velopharyngeal insufficiency, swallowing, and speech difficulties. We describe a functional soft palate reconstruction technique aimed at restoring aeromechanical and acoustic functions, enabling swallowing without nasal regurgitation and speech with low nasalance.

Material And Methods: We developed a new operative technique, using muscle transfer and a free flap to create a dynamic reconstruction.

Background: Neuroimaging studies have shown that hypothalamic/thalamic nuclei and other distant brain regions belonging to complex cerebral networks are involved in cluster headache (CH). However, the exact relationship between these areas, which may be dependent or independent, remains to be understood. We investigated differences in resting-state functional connectivity (FC) between brain networks and its relationship with the microstructure of the hypothalamus and thalamus in patients with episodic CH outside attacks and healthy controls (HCs).

Purpose: To evaluate optic disc and macular microvasculature changes in children with anisometropic amblyopia before and after treatment.

Methods: In all, 60 children with unilateral anisometropic amblyopia between the ages of 6 and 12 were randomly selected from the ophthalmology clinic of Fuyang People's Hospital, while 60 children with non-amblyopia in the same age range were randomly selected as a normal control group. The right eye was uniformly taken in the control group with at least 6 months of follow-up.

Review of Outcomes After Peripheral Nerve Transfers for Motor Nerve Injury in the Upper Extremity.

JBJS Rev

November 2024

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Anschutz Medical Center, Aurora, Colorado.

Background: Modern nerve-to-nerve transfers are a significant advancement in peripheral nerve surgery. Nerve transfers involve transferring donor nerves or branches to recipient nerves close to the motor end unit, leading to earlier reinnervation and preservation of the musculotendinous units in proximal nerve injuries. After nerve reinnervation, function may be superior to traditional tendon transfer techniques in terms of strength and independent motion.

Scapho-metacarpal dual mobility prosthesis for TMC-1 joint salvage: technical insights.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

January 2025

BG Klinikum Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, Department of Hand-, Replantation- and Microsurgery and Chair of Hand-, Replantation- and Microsurgery, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany.

Introduction: Rhizarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, predominantly affects women over 50, with up to 30% experiencing some degree of arthritis in this joint. Traditional surgical approaches, such as trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction, can result in some patients in persistent pain or limited functionality. TMC ball-in-socket arthroplasty, with a cup placed in the distal scaphoid, offers a promising alternative to traditional arthrodesis or resection-suspension arthroplasty.
