نویسندگان
چکیده
T ueday, M arch 8, 2017 Fasciocutaneous flaps were favored for foot wounds (p<0.01), whereas muscle flaps were favored for tibial wounds (p<0.01), Gustilo grade IIIb injuries (p<0.01), and wounds with exposed hardware/bone/tendon (p=0.03). Intraoperatively, fasciocutaneous flaps were associated with lower estimated blood loss (p<0.01). Increasing 17-year trends were noted in the use of fasciocutaneous flaps (p<0.01).

متن کاملMassive cortical reorganization is reversible following bilateral transplants of the hands: evidence from the first successful bilateral pediatric hand transplant patient
In this repeated measures case study, we show that sensory deafferentation after limb amputation leads to changes in cortical somatotopic maps which are reversible after restoration of sensory input. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we observed in a child with bilateral hand transplants large-scale shifts in somatosensory lip cortical representation from anatomic hand area to anatomic face r...
