Biomechanics and computer simulation of the Z-plasty.
INTRODUCTION We compared the results of our computer simulation studies of Z-plasties of different design to those of earlier studies, such as laboratory studies in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS The contours of single Z-plasties of different designs on flat surfaces were transferred to finite element analytical software (ADINA version 8.7). RESULTS The lengthening effect was almost proportiona...
متن کاملZ-Plasty Made Simple
A Z-plasty is a critical and reliable technique that is useful for scar revisions and correction of free margin distortion. A Z-plasty can help lengthen a contracted scar, change the direction of a scar so that it is better aligned with the relaxed skin tension lines, or interrupt and break a scar for better camouflage. This article will review the technique of a basic Z-plasty as well as provi...
متن کاملTopology, Geometry, and Mechanics of Z-Plasty.
Reconstructive surgeries often use topological manipulation of tissue to minimize postoperative scarring. The most common version of this, Z-plasty, involves modifying a straight line cut into a Z shape, followed by a rotational transposition of the resulting triangular pedicle flaps, and a final restitching of the wound. This locally reorients the anisotropic stress field and reduces the poten...
متن کاملThe Z-plasty in hand surgery.
The Z-plasty has for many years been recognised as a most valuable technique in hand surgery but its use has tended to be restricted to the relief of linear contractures. The recent trend towards Conservative in preference to radical fasciectomy in the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture, however, has given it a much wider currency. Used in the treatment of this condition it can make exposure ...
متن کاملThe snapping hip. Treatment by Z-plasty.
We describe a new method of Z-plasty for the snapping hip caused by a tight band in the iliotibial tract. Eight hips in six patients were treated by this method and at follow-up all had a successful result, with relief of snapping.
