Twenty-five patients with 31 zone 2 flexor tendon injuries were evaluated prospectively by means of high-resolution ultrasonography and clinically. Results were assessed according to Buck-Gramcko's Strickland's, LMS and TAM score. Ultrasonic findings led to individual modifications (abbreviation or prolongation) of postoperative hand therapy and were helpful in decision making for secondary surgery like tenolysis or secondary repair.

Background/purpose: Multiple augmentation protocols are documented in the literature to rebuild the deficient alveolar ridge after tooth extraction; however, achieving adequate vertical augmentation remains the most challenging goal. This study demonstrated a novel surgical technique of early vertical ridge augmentation for post-dental extraction. This technique offers several biological and technical advantages regarding the timing of the procedure and its relative simplicity compared to other complex techniques.

Subglottic stenosis (SGS) presents a rare, yet challenging condition characterized by airway obstruction below the glottis, with diverse etiologies ranging from congenital to acquired factors like intubation or autoimmune diseases. Diagnosis and management of SGS during pregnancy are particularly complex due to limited literature and diagnostic consensus. This article presents a case of a 26-year-old pregnant woman presenting with escalating dyspnea and stridor attributed to SGS, most likely secondary to idiopathic etiology.
