Background/Aim. Radial artery perforator flap (RAPF) as a type of fasciocutaneous or adipofascial reverse pedicle flap, proved to be versatile for reconstruction small and moderate size soft tissue defects the forearm, wrist, hand. It provides suitable skin coverage with elastic subcutaneous protect exposed damaged functional structures. The aim this study is summarize analyse results treatment...

Objective- To determine the effect of the transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation on healing of hip joint cartilage defect in rabbit.Design- Experimental in vivo study.Animals- 12 adult New Zealand rabbits were used.Procedures- Under effective the right femoral head was subluxated and the maximum accessible cartilage was denuded up to subchondral bone using dental bit in each rabbit. Then ...

Human centered human-computer interaction technology tends to replace the traditional computer centered technology with its growing applicability to a wide variety of applications. Acting as a way of most natural communication between human and machine, vision based hand gesture recognition is becoming the pursuit of human-computer interaction. General vision based hand gesture recognition gene...

In some cases, keratoacanthomas can be indistinguishable from squamous cell carcinoma, making the gold standard treatment surgical excision with histopathological evaluation. The surgical defects created on the back of the hand can be challenging to repair. We describe the use of bilateral rotation flap as an option in this area, and discuss the indications and contraindications of some of the ...

Subcutaneous stitches are placed in an effort to close dead space and aid in tissue edge approximation when repairing a surgical defect, but overcoming tension to approximate wound edges in surgical defects may be particularly difficult to accomplish in situations such as extreme defect width, location of the defect over a convex surface, inelasticity or rigidity of tissue, and excessive recoil...

We are reporting a case of a 43-year-old woman, who developed a soft tissue defect of the knee region following complex lower limb trauma. The defect was covered with a microvascular latissimus dorsi (LD) flap. The patient required a total knee replacement and developed a defect at the anterior aspect of the knee. This defect was covered by a second free LD flap from the ipsilateral side with a...

RATIONALE Metacarpal and phalanx defects with soft tissue loss were suggested to be reconstructed by vascularized bone flap. The fibular osteocutaneous flap is a preferred method. Three-dimensional virtual planning has successfully applied in mandibular reconstruction with fibular free flap. We applied three-dimensional virtual planning in precise fibula flap harvest to maintain the continuity ...
