Background: Many types of split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor-site dressings are available with little consensus from the literature on optimal dressing type. The purpose this systematic review was to analyze most recent outcomes regarding moist and nonmoist for STSG donor sites. Methods: A comprehensive conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases search comparative studies evaluating different in adult subjects published between 2008 2017. quality randomized...
Background: Perilunate/lunate injuries are frequently misdiagnosed. We hypothesize that utilization of a machine learning algorithm can improve human detection perilunate/lunate dislocations. Methods: Participants from emergency medicine, hand surgery, and radiology were asked to evaluate 30 lateral wrist radiographs for the presence dislocation with without use algorithm, which was used label lunate. Human performance tool evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, F1 score....
Purpose To assess whether changes in knee cartilage MR-based T2 relaxation times are associated with weight loss individuals risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA) compared controls stable weight. Materials and Methods One hundred twenty-seven OA were studied: 62 subjects had a body mass index (BMI) decrease≥10% over 48 months 65 BMI change <3%. Cartilage segmentation from five compartments at baseline 48-month follow-up was performed, maps generated. The association of values the weight-loss...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted residency application process for all specialties, including plastic surgery residency. Almost programs have suspended visiting sub-internship rotations. This study quantifies the impact of a webinar through an analysis poll questions and post-webinar survey sent to registered participants. Methods: A dedicated was organized held by Harvard Plastic Surgery Residency Training Program. All attendees were asked several during webinar....
Background The objectives of this study are to: (1) describe the demographics, injury patterns, and treatment characteristics patients who sustained a gunshot (GSI) hand; (2) examine utilization healthcare resources in with GSI hand. Methods We retrospectively identified 148 adult were treated for hand between January 2000 to December 2017 using multiple International Classification Diseases Ninth Tenth Edition (ICD-9 ICD-10) codes. used bivariate multivariable analysis identify which...
Arhinia, or congenital absence of the nose, is an exceedingly rare anomaly caused by pathogenic variants in gene SMCHD1 . Arhinia exhibits unique reconstructive challenges, as midface deficient skeletal and soft tissue structures. The authors present 2 related patients with arhinia who harbor a novel variant illustrate their surgical nasal construction. Targeted sequencing was carried out on DNA samples from affected patients, 1 anosmic healthy parent, to identify exons 3 13 parent were...
Craniofacial microsomia remains the second most common craniofacial deformity after cleft lip and palate. Mandibular pathology has been classically scored from type I to III by modified Pruzansky-Kaban classification. The authors report a case of 5-year-old patient with Goldenhar syndrome bilateral macrosomia. had absence glenoid fossas, condyles, coronoids, rami as well hypoplasia symphysis, parasymphysis, mandibular body. Reconstruction was performed using 2 costochondral rib autografts...
“Spotlight in Plastic Surgery” provides a quarterly overview of articles from non–plastic surgery high-impact journals and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open. This month, we review key relevance to plastic surgeons The Lancet, New England Journal Medicine, Nature, Annals Surgery, JAMA addition Our goal is enlighten readers with relevant literature our specialty that they otherwise might not have read. We thank the resident advisors advisory board members who volunteer help us identify these...
Prosthetic breast reconstruction remains one of the most frequently performed procedures in plastic surgery. Two-stage and one-stage implant-based are both commonly offered with varying amounts acellular dermal matrix (ADM) use dependent on surgeon preference. Advantages ADM include potential lower incidence capsular contracture, improvement implant coverage particularly pole, increased ability to define placement inframammary fold expander/implant position.1–3 The dual-plane approach...
We present 2 patients in whom the course of deep inferior epigastric vessels was intra-abdominal during perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. Preoperative computed tomography angiography gave no indication an unusual pedicle location. In both cases, dissection completed safely without bowel injury, and reconstruction successfully. Reconstructive surgeons need not abandon DIEP upon discovering that are intra-abdominal. Unfortunately, imaging does identify this variant preoperatively....
