چکیده
RESULTS: Nine of the 10 arms were male. The APL tendon had a mean of 3.3 ± 1.3 slips. The EPB tendon had one slip in all specimens. Seven compartments (70%) had an identifiable EPB subcompartment and four (57%) were thick. An osseous ridge was seen in 2 specimens, both with a thick subcompartment. The two arms with osseous ridges revealed radiopaque ridges on x-ray. Radiologists’ x-ray reviews revealed an osseous ridge in 58.9% of reads. Interrater reliability using Fleiss’ kappa was 0.33 ± 0.05. Presence or absence of EPB subsheath correlated with presence or absence of an osseous ridge in 48% of radiologists’ reads.

Abstract 88: Increased Incidence of Symptomatic Deep Venous Thrombosis Following Lower Extremity Flap Harvest for Abdominal and Perineal Reconstruction: A Case for Extended Surveillance
RESULTS: Of the 10,784 patients who underwent immediate prosthesis-based reconstruction, 5,516 (51%) filled antibiotic prescriptions. These patients were equally likely to develop an infection (OR 1.0 95%CI(0.85–1.18); p=0.98) or require explantation (OR 0.96 95%CI(0.80– 1.15); p=0.64) compared to those who did not. There was no difference in the likelihood of infection or explantation based on...
متن کاملVenous thromboembolism following microsurgical breast reconstruction: an objective analysis in 225 consecutive patients using low-molecular-weight heparin prophylaxis.
BACKGROUND Free flap breast reconstruction involves major risk factors for postsurgical venous thromboembolism. The main study objectives were (1) to estimate objectively the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in patients who received postoperative thromboprophylaxis after free flap breast reconstruction, (2) to evaluate the safety of low-molecular-we...
متن کاملAbstract 89: Head-to-head Comparison of Bleeding and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Risk with Preoperative Heparin vs. Preoperative and Extended Duration Postoperative Enoxaparin in Abdominal Body Contouring Patients
METHODS: One hundred twenty-seven consecutive patients undergoing unilateral lower extremity flap harvest from June 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively evaluated for the development of VTE. Each patient had a flap harvested from the lower extremity and inset into the abdomen or perineum and not the ipsilateral leg/foot/ankle. All patients with symptomatic leg pain received bilateral ultr...
متن کاملEpigastric hernia following DIEP flap breast reconstruction: complication or coincidence?
OBJECTIVE Donor site hernias are a rare but well recognised complication of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction but there are no reported cases of epigastric hernias after such surgery. We report three patients who developed symptomatic epigastric hernias within 2-8 months after discharge from follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who were referred to the ...
متن کاملReintroducing the latissimus-rib free flap as a long bone substitute in the reconstruction of lower extremity injuries
Abstract The leg is a complex district with functions of weightbearing support, stability, and motility. The management of extensive and complex defects is more challenging and often results in leg amputation or shortening. Leg amputation is a severe mutilation that alters the patient’s work and social life by limiting ambulation and self-sufficiency. During a 3 years period we trea...
