Background: To compare the postoperative complications between temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) and non-TIVS management in limb salvage surgery for severe limb trauma, and to provide reference for clinical decision making.
Methods: The literature on postoperative complications of limb salvage with and without TIVS was searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and MEDLINE from January 2000 to December 2023. References were screened and extracted according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software.
Results: 8 studies were included, including 1375 cases, 329 of which used TIVS and 1046 of which did not. Compared with no TIVS group, TIVS group was associated with a lower rate of amputation (OR = 0.48, 95%CI: [0.29, 0.82], P = 0.007) and less limb ischemic time (SMD = -0.96, 95%CI: [-1.17, -0.74], P < 0.00001), the incidence of thrombosis (OR = 1.48, 95%CI: [0.46, 4.78], P = 0.51), fasciotomy (OR = 0.84, 95%CI: [0.30, 2.36], P = 0.75) and infection (OR = 0.88, 95%CI: [0.35, 2.19], P = 0.78) were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Compared with no TIVS group, TIVS group may reduce amputation rate and limb ischemia time, prospective multi-centre studies are needed for further evaluation.

Prevalence Of Popliteal Artery Variants in Free Tissue Transfer for Limb Salvage: A 12-Year Vasculo-Plastic Experience.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, United States.
Background: Popliteal artery variants (PAVs) are anatomical deviations of the popliteal artery's branching pattern and should be considered in microsurgical planning for patients undergoing lower extremity (LE) free tissue transfer (FTT). However, there is a significant lack of FTT literature in this patient population. Thus, this study presents our 12-year experience with LE FTT in patients with PAV.

Delayed amputation after failed limb salvage can lead to negative clinical and functional outcomes due to complications, including re-amputation. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and identify risk factors according to the timing of amputation. A retrospective review of lower-extremity injuries managed between January 2016 and December 2022 at a level 1 trauma center was conducted.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate perioperative and one-year outcomes of patients undergoing aortobiiliac bypass (ABIB) in comparison with aortobifemoral bypass (ABFB) for the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease, using data from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI).
Methods: All patients undergoing ABIB and ABFB bypasses (2010-2023) were queried. The primary outcome was surgical site infections (SSI).

Introduction: Bone resection followed by endoprosthetic reconstruction (EPR) in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is rare and associated with unique challenges. This study aimed to analyze the indications, results and factors affecting the results of these cases.
Materials And Methods: Twelve patients (7 men and 5 women, median age 49 years) who underwent resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction due to soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity between 2010 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.
