Abstract Background The radial forearm free flap has classically been used in oral reconstructions, however, there research into an alternative option, the nasolabial flap. Surgical is focussing more on quality-of-life outcomes to measure a successful recovery. Therefore, this review focus QOL as well functional outcomes. Aim To determine if are better between patients undergoing tongue reconst...

BACKGROUND Anatomic repair of tendon ruptures is an important goal of surgical treatment. There are limited data on the triceps brachii insertion, footprint, and anatomic reconstruction of the distal triceps tendon. HYPOTHESIS An anatomic repair of distal triceps tendon ruptures more closely imitates the preinjury anatomy and may result in a more durable repair. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive and...

1 Sir: T homodigital island flap can be used to cover small soft-tissue defects. Many authors1,2 have described the technical steps with regard to the elevation of this island flap and have discussed the importance of preserving the adipofascial tissue around the digital artery. This approach avoids problems with venous congestion and thus flap loss. In Lai’s2 original description of the revers...

AIM To review current literature on types of distal triceps injury and determine diagnosis and appropriate management. METHODS We performed a systematic review in PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE using the terms distal triceps tears and snapping triceps on the 10th January 2017. We excluded all animal, review, foreign language and repeat papers. We reviewed all papers for relevance and of the pape...

Introduction Presence of two primary malignancies is rare and occurs in 3-5% of the cancer patients. As per our extensive internet research, this is the only reported case of a synchronous sino-nasal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with squamous cell carcinoma-tongue. The case report is important because of the rare diagnosis and the challenge we faced in the diagnosis and treatment of the pat...

Supra-condylar humerus fractures with extension into shaft are difficult to treat and typically require open anatomical reduction and internal fixation. Here we describe our experience treating distal humerus fractures using a triceps splitting approach with bicolumnar locking plate fixation.

The pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap is versatile, and is widely used for the treatment of surgical defects following oral cancer resection. Although free-tissue transfer of a vascularized free flap is often preferred, the clinical benefits of the PMMC flap should not be overlooked. The conventional technique of harvesting a PMMC flap involves a single vascular supply from the...
