introduction: breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. one complication after mastectomy following breast cancer is ipsilateral upper extremity lymphedema. this study aims to compare the effect of complex decongestive physical (cdp) therapy with a combination of intermittent pneumatic compression pump and cdp therapy on secondary upper extremity lymphedema volume and quality...

Upper extremity amputations are most frequently indicated by severe traumatic injuries. The location of the injury will determine the level of amputation. Preservation of extremity length is often a goal. The amputation site will have important implications on the functional status of the patient and options for prosthetic reconstruction. Advances in amputation techniques and prosthetic reconst...

PURPOSE: Venous compromise is the most common reason for perioperative free flap complications. The dependent nature of the lower extremity likely increases this risk, especially following significant lower extremity trauma with superficial or deep venous injury and immobilization of the soleal muscle venous pump. The benefit of a second venous anastomosis, however, remains unclear in lower ext...

INTRODUCTION: In reconstruction of upper extremity defects there are many options like local, free, island and perforator flaps. Reconstruction with perforator flaps is new trend in plastic surgery.1 Because of good vascularity, upper extremity is one of the most suitable part of the body for designing well known and also ad hoc perforator flaps. In this study we aimed to compare of reconstruct...

Venous thrombosis of the upper extremity is a rare disease. Therefore, not as much is known about risk factors, treatment and the risk of recurrence as for venous thrombosis of the leg. Only central venous catheters and strenuous exercise are commonly known risk factors for an upper extremity venous thrombosis. In this review an overview of the different risk factors, possible treatments and th...

statistically and found to be of little value in reliably determining the presence or absence of DVT. The differential diagnosis for leg pain and swelling includes lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, infection (cellulitis), aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, Baker cyst, and other musculoskeletal causes. Diagnosis of DVT depends on the clinician’s pretest probability assessment and a combination of...

Paget-Schroetter Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the thrombosis of axillary and/or subclavian vein due to repetitive activity upper extremity. This effect results in exertion-induced deep venous (DVT) In literature, it has been reported more frequently among adult population. We aimed introduce 15-year-old female patient who suffered an acute DVT left extremity, and her successful...
