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...

Reintroducing the latissimus-rib free flap as a long bone substitute in the reconstruction of lower extremity injuries
