We present a rare case of avulsion-fracture of the anterior superior iliac spine with meralgia paresthetica in a 16-year-old male basketball player. He had sensory disturbance affecting his left lateral thigh 10 days after the injury. Tinel's sign was elicited on percussing the avulsed bony fragment of the anterior superior iliac spine. He underwent open reduction and internal fixation. The lat...

Three dogs (Boxer, Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd) between the age of 7-10 years were presented with the history of tumour masses on right caudo-lateral thigh, right cranial forearm and left cranial and caudal thoracic mammary gland region, respectively.

METHODS Our experience with 224 immediate pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstructions in patients with carcinomas of the oral and oropharyngeal cavities is presented. RESULTS Although flap-related complications developed in 53% of the patients, all flaps survived, and we had no major skin paddle loss. The incidence of reoperation due to flap-related complications was 2%. All other comp...

wall defect reconstruction.1, 2 Anterolateral thigh flaps, tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flaps, and their combination are reliable and are often used.3, 4 Despite the reported efficacy, it is unclear how large an abdominal defect can be closed with a single thigh flap. The objective of this study was to compare the length of the abdomen and thigh, and to determine whether a thigh flap is ...
