Achilles tendon Z-plasty with rollover tensor fascia lata graft for correction of equinus foot deformity

Pelvic deformity secondary to tensor fascia lata tightness associated with desmoid tumor.

The iliotibial band is a thick, condensed fascia that, when contracted, leads to a hip flexion, abduction, and external rotation contracture in addition to other joint contractures. Iliotibial band tightness occurs secondary to iliotibial band friction syndrome, which commonly occurs at the lateral femoral epicondylar region. However, a proximal cause of iliotibial band/tensor fascia lata frict...

Platysma Flap with Z-Plasty for Correction of Post-Thyroidectomy Swallowing Deformity

BACKGROUND Recently, the number of thyroid surgery cases has been increasing; consequently, the number of patients who visit plastic surgery departments with a chief complaint of swallowing deformity has also increased. We performed a scar correction technique on post-thyroidectomy swallowing deformity via platysma flap with Z-plasty and obtained satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes. ...

Tendon Expansion with Fascia Lata in Treatment of A-Pattern Strabismus due to Superior Oblique Overaction

Background: In 1991, Wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. Originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. The aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with A-pattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lata...
