Soft tissue coverage of the knee joint following burns.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Full-thickness burns around the knee joint are usually associated with exposure of bone, tendon or ligaments. Following excision of the deep burns, there is no viable wound bed to which skin grafts can be applied. Although vacuum-assisted closure has been used to encourage granulation tissue, exposure of the tendons and ligaments following excision usually requires muscle flaps or fasciocutaneous flaps.

Unusual Presentation of Synovial Sarcoma as Meniscal Cyst: A Case Report
Periarticular cyst and cystic soft tissue lesion around the knee are common. Synovial sarcoma is a rare and malignant soft tissue tumor accounting for approximately 5% of soft tissue sarcoma. A case is presented where a lesion adjacent to the joint line of the knee was diagnosed clinically and on imaging as a meniscal cyst. MRI signal was homogenous and no concomitant meniscal tears were seen...

Background: Proper knee function is essential for daily activity. Since almost all complex tibial plateau fractures involve soft tissue compromise, there is some controversy as to the best treatment method. Currently, progress toward indirect reduction and external fixation, such as the hybrid external fixator, with minimal complications is underway. Herein we evaluate the outcomes of complex t...

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 کاملDistant pedicle flaps for soft tissue coverage of severely burned hands: an old idea revisited.
Burns to the hand that are complicated by exposure of bone, joint or tendon cannot be closed with conventional skin grafts and require flap procedures to prevent further damage. Local or regional flaps may be unavailable if electrical or blast trauma produces a large zone of injury, or when forearm burn injury extends beyond fascia. Free tissue transfer may not be tolerated by critically ill bu...
