Background: Autologous fat grafting in the buttocks has gained great popularity However, one of the main risks is infiltration of fat into the systemic venous system, leading to potential complications such as macroscopic fatty embolism (MAFE), which can be fatal.

Objectives: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the LiRi (Linear Retrograde infiltration) for autologous fat grafting in the buttocks, and its evolution over a six-month follow-up period.

Methods: The procedure was performed in 114 patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Voluntary gluteal augmentation is influenced by societal standards, but many African women lack access to safe medical procedures, leading to the use of dangerous and less understood methods.
  • A case study describes a 35-year-old woman who suffered severe complications, including septic shock and tissue necrosis, after injecting an unknown substance for butt enhancement.
  • The discussion highlights the lack of scientific research on gluteal augmentation techniques in Africa and emphasizes that complications are unpredictable, requiring a multidisciplinary hospital approach for effective management.

Introduction: In individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP), addressing increased knee valgus during weight-bearing activities typically involves strengthening weak hip muscles. However, recent literature highlights the role of altered descending central control in abnormal movements associated with PFP. While transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated the capacity to enhance neuroplasticity, its application targeting the corticomotor function of gluteal muscles in PFP remains unexplored.

Unlabelled: An iatrogenic urethral perineal fistula can cause challenging problems for surgical reconstruction. In most cases, treatment is performed in three steps: double-diversion urinary and intestinal diversion, closure, and diversion. The augmented posterior urethroplasty interposition with a gracilis muscle function flap for the repair of the perineal gap was successful.
