A 76-year-old fisherman with a history of diabetes mellitus, coronary artery bypass grafting, and previous ipsilateral elbow wound presented 1-year hand pain swelling. Anti-inflammatories antibiotics were administered without improvement. Magnetic resonance imaging ultrasound demonstrated flexor tenosynovitis.

Background Following the integration of electronic health record (EHR) into healthcare system, concern has grown regarding EHR use on physician well-being. For surgical residents, time spent increases burden a demanding, hourly restricted schedule and detracts from honing skills. To better characterize these burdens, we sought to describe utilization patterns for plastic surgery residents. Methods Integrated resident March 2019 2020 was extracted via Cerner Analytics at tertiary academic...
Purpose: It is known from both anatomic and radiographic studies that the majority of cranial sutures begin fusing in early adulthood are fused by late adulthood. However, most focus on vault rather than base. Most clinicians treating patients with craniosynostosis interpreting behavior CT imaging. Therefore, purpose this study was to further clarify appearance base over natural human life span. Methods: Thirty scans head face were reviewed for each decade starting at 1 year up age 90. Scans...

Trochanteric pressure wounds are a significant cause of morbidity among paraplegic and comorbid patients. Their surgical management requires femoral head ostectomy followed by robust soft tissue coverage both for dead space obliteration skin subcutaneous replacement. Many flap options their variations have been presented this purpose. We present unique methodology utilizing chimeric pedicled muscle anterolateral thigh (ALT) reconstruction. First, we 39-year-old male who underwent right...
