Treatment for the Lumbosacral Soft Tissue Defect after Spine Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lumbosacral area is one of the most frequently operated spine regions because of the prevalence of disease in that area. Although a lumbosacral soft tissue defect after surgery due to inflammation and other causes is rare, such soft tissue defects are difficult to treat. Therefore, suitable methods for treating lumbosacral soft tissue defects are necessary. Therefore, this study introduces a case-treated with a transverse lumbosacral rotational flap.

The management of soft tissue defects in tibial fractures is essential for limb preservation. Current techniques are not without complications and may lead to poor functional outcomes. A salvage method is described using three illustrative cases whereby a combination of flaps and antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads are employed to fill the bony defect, fight the infection, and...

Background: The standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. However, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. Mathods: This prospective study was und...
متن کاملA low-cost ultrasound phantom of the lumbosacral spine.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This report describes the production of a low-cost ultrasound phantom of the lumbosacral spine. The phantom should be a very useful tool to teach the basic skills for ultrasound-guided procedures of the lumbosacral spine. METHODS A lumbosacral spine model is secured to the bottom of a microwave-safe container and is immersed in a concentrated gelatin solution. After ...
