Despite their widespread use, there are no evidence-based guidelines on the management of closed-suction drains or antibiotics in postmastectomy breast reconstruction. The purpose this study was to assess consensus and variation postoperative care among plastic surgeons.The authors designed administered a self-reported, anonymous survey 4669 American Society Plastic Surgeons Canadian members October 2009.A total 650 completed surveys were available for analysis. A majority (>81%) respondents...
Background Length of immobilization after operative fixation unstable distal radius fractures and management in elderly patients is an area debate. Purpose The purpose this study to delineate common practices fellowship-trained hand surgeons how they compare with current evidence-based protocols. Methods Surveys were distributed American Society for Surgery the Hand members on preferred methods fixation, postoperative immobilization, variations treatment fractures. Responses analyzed...
Introduction Innervated muscle transfer can improve functional outcomes after extensive limb‐sparing sarcoma resections. We report our experience using composite thigh flaps for reconstruction of large oncologic extremity defects. Patients and methods Between 2011 2014, four resections (3 lower extremities, 1 upper extremity) underwent immediate with free in three males one female. The age the patients ranged from 36 to 73 years. There were 3 soft‐tissue sarcomas giant cell tumor, all...
Nonunion can occur relatively frequently after scaphoid fracture and appears to be associated with severity of injury. There have been a number techniques described for bone grafting or without screw fixation facilitate healing. However, even operative fractures nonunion malunion rates 5 10 percent are still reported. This is the first report an anatomic locking plate repair in 25-year-old right hand dominant healthy male.
PURPOSE: Postoperative immobilization after operative fixation of unstable distal radius fractures and management these in elderly patients remains an area debate. Recent literature has described benefits to early mobilization fracture conservative low-demand populations.1,2 The purpose this study is delineate how practices by fellowship-trained hand surgeons the United States compare current evidence-based protocols. METHODS: A 13-question survey was e-mailed American Society for Surgery...
As upper extremity transplantation is becoming more accepted worldwide, the demand for a fresh tissue cadaveric training model this procedure increasing and necessary to assure surgical success. Surgical rehearsals can decrease operative time, improve technique, reduce errors made on actual day of surgery. The purpose article describe method rehearsal using specimens based clinical experience an academic institution with active program. logistics setup, equipment, modified version procedural...
PURPOSE: Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) and scaphoid nonunion (SNAC) can cause persistent pain, weakened grip strength, decreased range of motion. These factors lead to a significant reduction in quality life. Two mainstay surgical options for salvage include proximal row carpectomy (PRC) four-corner arthrodesis (4CA). This study evaluates the cost-utility PRC versus three methods 4CA (K-wire fixation, plate or screw fixation) treatment SLAC/SNAC wrist. METHODS: A analysis was...
