Preauricular sinuses and pits are congenital anomalies located in or just front of the ascending limb helix. Even though excising a sinus is relatively minor surgical procedure, recurrence not uncommon if an adequate resection done. Surgery only indicated when it complicated by recurrent infection abscesses. Simple closure may be possible there large tissue defect. In those circumstances local ...

Split-hand foot malformation (SHFM) is a clinically heterogeneous congenital limb defect affecting predominantly the central rays of hands and/or feet. The clinical expression varies in severity between patients as well limbs same individual. SHFM might be non-syndromic with limb-confined manifestations or syndromic extra-limb manifestations. Isolated rare condition an incidence about 1 per 18,...

Injury of an artery has a significantly worse prognosis for the patient than a venous injury. Blunt injuries of lower limb digital arteries with the development of acute ischemia present a very rare phenomenon. A crush mechanism with a defect of the non-wetted surface of vessel's inner part and the development of subsequent thromboischemic lesion is essential for the development of ischemia. We...

Galeazzi injury combined with ipsilateral Monteggia lesion is extremely rare. A 45-year-old male patient with a mistreated Galeazzi lesion combined with an ipsilateral Monteggia fracture at the age of 6 is presented. Thirty-nine years post-injury his elbow was asymptomatic and stable and his distal radioulnar and radiocarpal joints were also asymptomatic. The strength of the limb was equal to t...

Gastroschisis represents herniation of abdominal contents through a paramedian fullthickness abdominal wall fusion defect without involving the umbilical cord. Evisceration, usually, contains only intestinal loops and not covered by membrane unlike in Omphalocele. Gastroschisis with other serious birth defects is unusual. Neonates with Gastroschisis have better prognosis than those with an Omph...

THE LOWER EXTREMITIES OF THE HUMAN BODY ARE MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE HUMAN LEGS, INCORPORATING: the foot, the lower or anatomical leg, the thigh and the hip or gluteal region. The human lower limb plays a simpler role than that of the upper limb. Whereas the arm allows interaction of the surrounding environment, the legs' primary goals are support and to allow upright ambulation. Essentially,...

The development of form and morphology of cartilage in limbs from control and retinoic acid-treated DBA/2J mice were studied in organ culture. Somite number at explantation (SE) ranged from 29 to 56. All cartilage segments except digits developed in cultures of 29somite control limb-buds; digits developed well only from limb-buds of SE45 and older stages. Maternal treatment with retinoic acid s...
