Biomechanical modeling to prevent ischial pressure ulcers.
With 300,000 paraplegic persons only in France, ischial pressure ulcers represent a major public health issue. They result from the buttocks׳ soft tissues compression by the bony prominences. Unfortunately, the current clinical techniques, with - in the best case - embedded pressure sensor mats, are insufficient to prevent them because most are due to high internal strains which can occur even ...
متن کاملPreventing ischial pressure ulcers: I. Review of neuromuscular electrical stimulation
Objective: Pressure ulcers (PUs) are common and debilitating wounds that arise when immobilized patients cannot shift their weight. Treatment is expensive and recurrence rates are high. Pathophysiological mechanisms include reduced bulk and perfusion of chronically atrophic muscles as well as prolonged occlusion of blood flow to soft tissues from lack of voluntary postural shifting of body weig...
متن کاملBiceps Femoris Musculocutaneous Flap for Reconstruction of Refractory Ulceration at the Popliteal Fossa
BACKGROUND There is a lack of information about the possibility of transfer of the long head of the biceps femoris (LHBF) musculocutaneous flap to the knee area. We discuss the use of the LHBF musculocutaneous flap to treat refractory ulceration at the popliteal fossa and the results of a preliminary study investigating the anatomical possibility of transferring this flap to the popliteal regio...
متن کاملThe island pedicled anterolateral thigh (pALT) flap via the lateral subcutaneous tunnel for recurrent ischial ulcers.
Chronic recurrent ischial sores are an important cause of morbidity in paraplegics and geriatric patients. Compared to sacral and trochanteric ulcers, ischial sores are the most difficult to treat, with a low success rate following conservative therapy and a high recurrence rate after surgical treatment. We report the use of the pedicled anterolateral thigh (pALT) flap for reconstruction of a c...
متن کاملTreatment of Ischial Pressure Sores with Both Profunda Femoris Artery Perforator Flaps and Muscle Flaps
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of ischial pressure sore defects is challenging due to extensive bursas and high recurrence rates. In this study, we simultaneously applied a muscle flap that covered the exposed ischium and large bursa with sufficient muscular volume and a profunda femoris artery perforator fasciocutaneous flap for the management of ischial pressure sores. METHODS We retrospectively...
