The purposes of this study were to investigate the incidence surgical site infection (SSI) following geriatric elective orthopaedic surgeries and identify associated risk factors This was a retrospective two‐institution study. Between January 2014 September 2017, patients aged 60 years or older undergoing included for data collection analysis. SSI identified through review patients' medical records index surgery readmission diagnosis SSI. Patients' demographics, characteristics disease,...

Objective The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between non-technical risk factors and perioperative flap survival rate evaluate choice skin for reconstruction foot ankle. Methods This was a clinical retrospective study. Nine variables were identified. Kaplan-Meier method coupled with log-rank test Cox regression model used predict that influence rate. relationship postoperative wound infection also analyzed using logistic model. Results overall 85.42%. necrosis rates...

Nerve injuries causing segmental loss require nerve grafting. However, autografts and allografts have limitations for clinical use. Peripheral xenotransplantation has become an area of great interest in surgery research as alternative graft strategy. xenotransplant rejection is severe with cellular immunity, Th1 cells play important role the process. To better understand process rejection, we used peripheral xenografts from rats to mice found that mononuclear expressing IFN-γ IL-17...

Background Few clinical retrospective studies have reported the risk factors of pedicled flap necrosis in hand soft tissue reconstruction. The aim this study was to identify non‐technical associated with perioperative reconstruction via a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Methods For patients reconstruction, we carefully reviewed hospital records and identified 163 who met inclusion criteria. characteristics these patients, transfer procedures postoperative complications were...

Melanomas affect the foot and ankle region are associated with a poor prognosis. The aim of current study was to evaluate functional oncological outcomes salvage surgery using cutaneous flaps for soft tissue reconstruction following extended resection melanoma. A retrospective review conducted patients who presented melanoma underwent defect three types flap (group S) or amputation A) between January 1999 December 2010 at First Hospital Jilin University (Changchun, China). postoperative...

Purpose: Functional reconstruction of mutilating hand injuries poses a challenge to the surgeon. We present our experience with use multiple composite tissue flaps transplant for functional in patients injuries. The associated merits and demerits these surgical approaches are briefly discussed. Methods: From August 2004 October 2014, transplantation was performed 8 patients. These included toe dorsal pedis artery flap, reverse posterior interosseous anterolateral thigh flap. Mean interval...

In Brief The authors have performed reverse dorsal metacarpal flaps in 153 cases to cover skin defects over fingers or stumps during the past 15 years. Its indications included acute and chronic second fifth stumps. coverage of flap ranged from base distal interphalangeal joint. One hundred forty-three survived uneventfully, 8 presented venous congestion postoperatively, which led epidermal necrosis. is a reliable excellent method fingers. fifty-three finger stump were reconstructed with as...

Abstract Currently, experimental evidence suggests that the surgical delay can increase flap survival area, but its effect may decrease if optimal period is missed. The aim of this study to establish a sensitive and objective modality based on visualized individualized infrared thermography for identifying maximal effect. A rectangular three‐angiosome was designed unilateral dorsum rat. Ninety‐six rats were randomly divided into six groups according various time. Both relative temperature...

Interleukin 1 (IL-1) inhibitory receptor type 2 (IL1R2) serves as a negative regulator of IL-1 signalling and is involved in the pathogenesis osteoporosis. This study aimed to determine correlation between IL1R2 polymorphism osteoporosis susceptibility Chinese Han population.We recruited 594 patients 599 healthy controls. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected for genotyping using Agena MassARRAY platform. The odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated...

Management of extensive bone and soft tissue defects, which occur after severe trauma lower extremities always lead to an unacceptable amputation in some cases, continues challenge reconstructive surgeons. When performing extremity amputation, preservation the knee joint has been put into a higher priority. The benefit below-knee over above-knee ones concentrates on more normal gait with less energy expenditure during ambulation when functioning is present.

The vascularized capitate transposition has been designed to treat advanced Kienböck disease, in which the necrotic lunate is excised and bone graft proximally shifted into fossa reconstruct radiocarpal joint. Since it notably alters normal anatomy of wrist, anatomical alterations are thought be responsible for increased tendency develop symptomatic arthritis. Clinically, however, more than 1-year follow-up does not show any arthrosis reconstructed joint after this procedure. We tied...

Objective The posterior thigh region has been neglected as a donor site for free perforator flaps, likely due to difficulties in positioning the patient during surgery. This study describes clinical application of flap based on third perforating artery profunda femoris (PFA). Methods PFA was used reconstruction soft tissue defects nine patients between February 2010 and May 2014. Results Flap sizes ranged from 12 × 7 cm 20 13 cm. length vascular pedicle averaged 10.28 cm, mean diameters...
