Abstract: Functional Recovery after Traumatic Lower Extremity Salvage

CONCLUSION: Our findings show that there is considerable measurement error between perometry and perimetry when measuring the absolute or relative volumes of the arms and that their results should be compared with caution. Furthermore, we observed an increasingly relevant measurement error as outcomes are derived from arm volumes originally measured in error. Our findings suggest that the lymph...

Abstract P12: Functional Outcomes Following Soft Tissue Reconstruction and Attempted Limb Salvage After Lower Extremity Trauma

PSRC Abstract Supplement P oter P rofs RESULTS: 358 breasts underwent reconstruction before protocol implementation and 135 afterwards. Patients were similar in terms of demographics and surgical characteristics. There was a significantly reduced incidence of clinically relevant infection after protocol implementation (10.1% to 2.9%, p= 0.009). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that the pr...
