Dorsal Hand Reconstruction with Web Contracture Release Using Free Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery Flap.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
September 2024
From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan.
We present a case in which reconstruction of the dorsum of the hand and finger web space was carried out concurrently with the insertion of a superficial inferior epigastric artery flap into the interdigital spaces. This approach was taken to prevent the potential development of subsequent web space contracture. The patient, a 57-year-old woman, presented with a necrotizing soft tissue infection on the dorsum of her left hand, resulting in a full-thickness skin defect extending from the metacarpophalangeal joint to the wrist, with exposure of the extensor tendons.

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a vulnerable region at the interface of skeletal muscle and tendon that forms an integrated mechanical unit. This study presents a technique for the spatially restrictive co-culture of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived skeletal myocytes and primary tenocytes for two-dimensional modeling of the MTJ. Micropatterned lanes of extracellular matrix and a 2-well culture chamber define the initial regions of occupation.

Electronic address:
Repair of functionally graded biological interfaces requires joining dissimilar materials such as hard bone to soft tendon/ligament, with re-injuries/re-tears expected to be minimized by incorporating biomimicking, stress-reducing features within grafts. At bone-tendon interfaces (entheses), stress can be reduced via angled insertion, geometric flaring, mechanical gradation, and interdigitation of tissues. Here, we incorporated enthesis attributes into 3D in silico and physical models of a unique suture anchor-tendon hybrid graft (SATHG) and investigated their effects on stress reduction via finite element analyses (FEA) studies.

Importance: Morton neuroma, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinopathy are foot and ankle conditions that are associated with pain and disability, but they can respond to nonoperative treatment.
Observations: Morton neuroma, consisting of interdigital neuronal thickening and fibrosis, is characterized by burning pain in the ball of the foot and numbness or burning pain that may radiate to the affected toes (commonly the third and fourth toes). First-line nonoperative therapy consists of reducing activities that cause pain, orthotics, and interdigital corticosteroid injection; however, approximately 30% of patients may not respond to conservative treatment.
