Vascularized hemi-hamate graft: Anatomic description of a novel pedicled osteo-chondro-ligamentous flap for proximal scaphoid reconstruction.

Scaphoid proximal pole destruction remains a surgical challenge owing to its high propensity for nonunion and osteonecrosis. The hemi-hamate graft has shown promising results in addressing this issue. However, long-term results of non-vascularized composite grafts remain uncertain.

Bone-anchored prostheses for lower limb amputation in a French cohort with 1-15 years of follow-up: implant survival rates, mechanical complications, and reported outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate the implant survival rate, mechanical complications, and reported patient outcomes of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with lower limb amputation in France after 1-15 years of follow-up.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent surgery at a single center in France between 2007 and 2021. The primary outcomes were the implant survival rate and functional scores assessed by the Questionnaire for Transfemoral Amputees (Q-TFA).

The post-traumatic reconstruction of nail bed defects using a homodigital dorsal adipofascial reverse flap.

Nail bed defects (NBDs) of the distal phalanx, are common and remain challenging to reconstruct. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of these post-traumatic injuries treated using a homodigital dorsal adipofascial reverse flap (HDARF). Sixteen patients, averaging 43-years-old, were retrospectively reviewed, who underwent the aforementioned procedure from February 2018 to December 2019.

The Homodigital Propeller Flap: A New Tool for Fingertip Reconstruction. Surgical Technique, Anatomical Study, and Clinical Relevance.

Background: An ideal flap for fingertip injuries should cover a significant loss of substance and avoid joint flexion to prevent later contracture and joint stiffness. In this study, the authors describe a modified homodigital island flap-the homodigital propeller flap-to better meet these requirements.

Methods: An anatomical model of fingertip loss is used to analyze the advancement achieved without flexion of the finger.

Indications and functional outcome of the use of integra dermal regeneration template for the management of traumatic soft tissue defects on dorsal hand, fingers and thumb.

Introduction: Few studies have been conducted to explore the utility of the Integra dermal regeneration template (IDRT) combined with a delayed split-thickness skin graft (STSG) for reconstructing complex dorsal hand, digit, and thumb injuries. This study reports the indications and outcomes for 14 patients treated with this technique via a two-stage process.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients treated by IDRT combined with STSG from May 2015 to October 2018.

Intrascrotal injection of botulinum toxin A, a male genital aesthetic demand: Technique and limits.

Introduction: Scrotal rejuvenation is a real male aesthetic demand. Scrotal injection of botulinum toxin makes the testicles smoother, less dangling and subjectively larger.

Methods: Intrascrotal botulinum toxin injections were performed to a 44-year-old patient for aesthetic purposes.

Medial Sural Artery Perforator Flap for Leg and Knee Coverage: Extended Skin Paddle With 2 Perforators.

Background: For soft-tissue defect coverage in the lower leg and around the knee joint, the gastrocnemius muscle flap is the most commonly used. Having constant anatomy, a long pedicle, and decreased donor site morbidity, the medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) flap may represent a good reconstructive alternative. The aim of this report was to present the experience of using a dual perforator MSAP pedicled flap.

Secondary Reconstruction of Calvarial Defects by Using Free Flap: Report of Consecutive Cases and Analysis of Strategy.

Introduction: Multiplication of incisions and/or radiotherapy on the scalp, lead to skin necrosis and chronic osteitis. In this situation, reconstructive surgery can be useful to cover complex lack of tissue.

Materials And Methods: The 5 patients were treated with the neurosurgery department of our hospital.

Assessing Improvement of Patient Satisfaction Following Facelift Surgery Using the FACE-Q Scales: A Prospective and Multicenter Study.

Introduction: Assessment of patient satisfaction following an aesthetic surgery has shown an increasing trend over the past years. To date, there is no prospective and comprehensive study evaluating this aspect after surgical facial and neck rejuvenation. The aim of the current work was to address patient satisfaction after face and neck lift surgery using a validated questionnaire.

A new local muscle flap for elbow coverage-the medial triceps brachii flap: anatomy, surgical technique, and preliminary outcomes.

Background: The medial triceps brachii is vascularized by the middle collateral artery and the arterial circle of the elbow. This vascularization allows a distal pedicled use to cover soft tissue defects of the elbow. We report our experience using this flap to cover traumatic and postsurgical wounds.

Evaluation of donor site morbidity after medial triceps brachii free flap for lower limb reconstruction.

Introduction: The medial head of the triceps brachii muscle (MTB)-free flap is an attractive solution to cover small-to-medium defects of the lower limb. This muscular head has no well-identified function, suggesting minimal impact of its removal on elbow mobility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and reliability of the harvest procedure and the functional and cosmetic morbidity of this donor site.

Medial triceps brachii free flap in reconstructive surgery: a prospective study in eight patients.

Introduction: In this study, we present a prospective series of medial triceps free flaps for ankle and foot complex defects coverage and discuss its numerous advantages.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2011 and December 2012, eight patients, two women and six men underwent medial triceps brachii (MTB) free flap procedure to cover defects localized at the ankle and foot in our department. Patient mean age was 37.

Dorsalis Pedis Adipofascial Perforator flap for great toe reconstruction: anatomical study and clinical applications.

Defects of the dorsum of the foot can be challenging to reconstruct, none more so than the dorsum of the toe. The reverse Dorsalis Pedis Adipofascial Perforator (DPAP) flap is one possible reconstructive option for defects in this region. The aim of this study was to first demonstrate the anatomy of this flap, particularly the consistency of the perforators arising from the dorsalis pedis artery.

Management of traumatic soft tissue defects with dermal regeneration template: a prospective study.

Introduction: Traumatic soft tissue defect is a common issue for the trauma surgeon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a dermal regeneration template (DRT) associated to a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) to cover severe traumatic wounds involving exposure of deep functional structures.

Materials And Methods: Patients with severe traumatic defects, either open fractures or full-thickness skin wounds involving exposure of tendons without paratenon, bones without periosteum or joints without articular capsule, managed in the authors' trauma centre, were included in a prospective fashion.
