Matrices are used with increased frequency to assist with tissue expander or implant-based breast reconstruction. These devices usually have a high cost, especially when they are human-derived. We present the use of fascia lata for implant and expander-based subpectoral reconstruction. According to our review of the literature, this is the first report of the use of a patient's own fascia lata instead of a matrix.

Lower trapezius tendon transfer is a surgical procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The biggest advantage of this method is that the pulling direction of the lower trapezius is the same as that of the infraspinatus. Thus, the transferred lower trapezius tendon can biomechanically mimic the functions of the posterior-superior rotator cuff.

Introduction: Regional anesthesia, specifically fascia iliaca compartment blocks (FICB), is highly effective in managing pain, especially in military settings. However, a significant barrier to its implementation is the lack of provider confidence in performing ultrasound-guided procedures. This study evaluates the ability of physician assistant (PA) students, who are often first-line providers in austere locations, to identify the fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) after a brief training session and assesses their retention of this skill over a 60- to 90-day period.

Lower lip malposition can occur after anterior mandibular resection as a result of the loss of soft tissue lip attachments. We report our technique of cranial suspension of the lower lip with fascia lata slings to improve lip position. Correction of lip ptosis results in cessation of drooling, improved oral intake, and restoration of facial aesthetics.
