Lower Extremity Shotgun Wound
A 32-year-old white man presented to the emergency department after suffering a shotgun wound to the left lower extremity. He reports assault at point-blank range with a gun of unknown gauge while lying in the prone position. He was transported to the emergency department by emergency medical services personnel who started the use of peripherally inserted intravenous catheters and applied press...
متن کاملTreatment of Nonhealing Diabetic Lower Extremity Ulcers with Skin Graft and Autologous Platelet Gel: A Case Series
Lower extremity ulcers in diabetic patients are difficult to treat. Recently, the use of human blood platelet-derived components in this indication has been raising interest. In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous platelet gel (PG) and skin graft for treating large size recalcitrant ulcers. Eight consecutive diabetic patients aged 25 to 82 with...
متن کاملDynamic viscoelastic behavior of lower extremity tendons during simulated running.
The aim of this project was to see whether the tendon would show creep during long-term dynamic loading (here referred to as dynamic creep). Pig tendons were loaded by a material-testing machine with a human Achilles tendon force profile (1.37 Hz, 3% strain, 1,600 cycles), which was obtained in an earlier in vivo experiment during running. All the pig tendons showed some dynamic creep during cy...
