Early necrectomy followed by skin plasty allows preserving impaired parts of the hand and working capacity of the patients in posttraumatic necrosis of soft tissues of the hand and fingers. The method of skin plasty and time of its fulfilling should be dependent on the character of injuries, their localisation and degree of necrosis. In the absence of wound infection skin plasty must be fulfilled immediately after necrectomy. In necrosis accompanied by suppuration skin plasty is indicated after preparing the wound surface with vacuum and ultrasonic treatment, controlled abacterial environment. Positive results of reestablishing working capacity were obtained in 88.6% of the patients examined in remote periods after treatment.

Keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs) are commonly located on the scalp and often treated with excision with peripheral and deep en face margin assessment (PDEMA), with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) being the most frequently used method. Resection of these malignancies results in wounds with a wide variety of sizes, ranging from small, sub-centimeter defects, to extensive, nearly complete scalp defects. MMS is often the preferred treatment for tumor resection and margin clearance, as it allows for maximal healthy tissue preservation and has the lowest recurrence rates.

Background: The palmar aponeurosis is extremely adherent to the skin above it. Many of the pre-tendinous coarse fibers enter the dermis at an angle, not just in the palmar creases but also throughout the palm. It's difficult to distinguish whether Dupuytren's illness starts in the skin's dermis or the palmar aponeurosis since the skin adheres so closely to the palmar fascia.

Atopic dermatitis is known to be associated with infective endocarditis due to poorer barrier function of the skin, and it has also been reported that patients with atopic dermatitis are at higher risk of mediastinitis after open heart surgery. A 50-year-old man with recurrent episodes of Staphylococcus aureus infection presented to the hospital with a chief complaint of fever and shortness of breath. Close examination revealed mitral regurgitation due to infective endocarditis, and the patient was advised to undergo surgery.

Background: Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by orofacial, cutaneous, musculoskeletal, and genital anomalies. Surgical interventions are necessary to address the severe knee flexion contracture and equinovarus deformity, but there are no established treatment guidelines.

Methods: We present the case of a one-year-old patient with PPS and discuss the challenges in managing the knee deformity.
