Reversed Sural Flap for Coverage of Heel Defect Following Marjolin's Ulcer on Frostbite

Marjolin's ulcer following frostbite is a rare occurrence. Our review of literature revealed that only 23 cases have been reported. In most instances heel is involved and the most common associated malignancy is squamous cell carcinoma.We present a 69-year-old male patient with squamous cell carcinoma arising over a frostbite scar in heel 45 years after cold injury. This case is unique with res...

Studies in Experimental Frostbite IV. The Response of the Sympathetically Denervated Extremity to Freezing *

The normal response of the body when exposed to cold is one of vasoconstriction, which, according to Lewis,17 comprises three distinct reactions. One is a local and persistent vasoconstriction which is due to the direct effect of the low temperature on the blood vessels; the second is a local reflex vasoconstriction mediated through the sympathetic nervous system; the third is a generalized vas...

CHAPTER 139 Frostbite

Unlike other animals that live outside the tropics, humans are susceptible to peripheral cold injuries. The highest homeostatic priority is to maintain the body’s core temperature. This is accomplished through peripheral vasoconstriction and shunting, which prevent adequate heat distribution to the extremities. As a result, failure to achieve adequate protection from the environment results in ...

The effect of butyric acid with autogenous omental graft on healing of experimental Achilles tendon injury in rabbits

In this study, the role of local injection of butyric acid (BA) with autogenous omental graft was evaluated in healing of experimental Achilles tendon injury in rabbits. Nine adult male New Zealand rabbits were anesthetized and a partial thickness tenotomy was created on both hindlimbs. In treated group, omental graft was secured in place using BA soaked polygalactin 910 suture. In control grou...
