Vascularized bone grafts to the upper extremities

Materials and methods The reconstructed site was the humerus in 15 cases, the radius, the ulna or the wrist joint in 22 cases, carpal or metacarpal bone in 52. The etiologies consisted of three traumatic bone defects, 13 traumatic nonunions of long bone, two osteonecroses of the humeral head, eight osteomyelitis, nine case after resections of bone tumor, two congenital pseudoarthroses of the ul...

Vascularized bone grafts to the upper extremities.

From 1979 to 1995 in our clinic, vascularized bone grafting was performed in 29 patients with large bone defects, established nonunion, congenital pseudoarthrosis, or avascular necrosis in the upper extremity. Four patients had traumatic bone defects, six had posttraumatic nonunions, two had congenital pseudoarthroses, five had amputations, nine had defects following tumor resection, and three ...

Hemodynamics of the upper extremities in subclavian steal syndrome.

ness of the importance of obstructive lesions of the proximal subclavian artery in the production of symptoms of cerebral ischemia. Since this is a form of cerebral vascular insufficiency readily improved or cured by surgery, it is imperative that the "steal" syndrome be suspected clinically and that appropriate diagnostic procedures be performed. Symptoms of brainstem ischemia coupled with bra...
