Abstract: Functional Recovery after Traumatic Lower Extremity Salvage
نویسندگان
چکیده
CONCLUSION: Our findings show that there is considerable measurement error between perometry and perimetry when measuring the absolute or relative volumes of the arms and that their results should be compared with caution. Furthermore, we observed an increasingly relevant measurement error as outcomes are derived from arm volumes originally measured in error. Our findings suggest that the lymphedema surgery community should concentrate efforts to validate more precise and reliable outcomes to assess the effect of surgical treatment.

Abstract: The Efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and Antibiotic Beads as Infection Prophylaxis in Post-Traumatic Lower Extremity Salvage
INTRODUCTION: Management of tibial fractures can be complicated by infection of internal fixation hardware, resulting in increased morbidity and amputation rate. When removal of infected internal hardware with external fixation is not possible, salvage of the lower extremity is attempted through debridement, antibiotics, and soft tissue coverage. The purpose of this study is to investigate salv...
متن کاملAbility of lower-extremity injury severity scores to predict functional outcome after limb salvage.
BACKGROUND Lower-extremity injury severity scoring systems were developed to assist surgeons in decision-making regarding whether to amputate or perform limb salvage after high-energy trauma to the lower extremity. These scoring systems have been shown to not be good predictors of limb amputation or salvage. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical utility of the five commonly used low...
متن کاملFunctional recovery in patients with nonunion treated with the Ilizarov technique.
There are few reports on function after limb salvage surgery using the Ilizarov technique, and none that document the pattern of recovery or predict when maximum function returns. This prospective, longitudinal study documents the baseline functional abilities of 40 consecutive patients with nonunion of a fracture in the lower limb. Patients were studied for at least two and a half years follow...

PSRC Abstract Supplement P oter P rofs RESULTS: 358 breasts underwent reconstruction before protocol implementation and 135 afterwards. Patients were similar in terms of demographics and surgical characteristics. There was a significantly reduced incidence of clinically relevant infection after protocol implementation (10.1% to 2.9%, p= 0.009). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that the pr...
متن کاملComparison of nerve repair with end to end, end to side with window and end to side without window methods in lower extremity of rat
Abstract Background : Although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. The importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. In this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. In compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. Overall, the previous studies i...
