traumatic injuries to the subclavian-axillary artery, although uncommon, are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates if not managed promptly. the emergence of endovascular techniques offers an alternative to the surgical management of these injuries. we herein present 4 cases of traumatic subclavian-axillary artery injury with limb ischemia successfully managed via the endovascular a...

BACKGROUND Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and melphalan is highly effective in treating limb-threatening soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and other bulky tumors. Because of fear of TNF-associated toxicity, ILP with TNF is not offered to older patients in some cancer centers, although especially in older patients, every attempt to avoid an amputation that may end their i...

Musculoskeletal tumours of the lower limbs especially malignant tumours are not common. The fibula is the site of primary bone tumours as reported in 2.4% of lower limb tumours with the proximal third being more frequently involved than the distal segment. Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumour of nonhaematopoietic origin, with distal fibular involvement in 0.47% of patie...

Introduction Limb-salvage surgery has become the mainstream approaches for treatment of sarcoma in lower extremity. In cases where infiltrates primary vessel, concurrent resection vessels and vascular reconstruction are required to ensure sufficient preservation limb function. The objective this study is assess clinical outcomes patients who underwent utilizing synthetic grafts salvage, specifi...

HYPOTHESIS Despite the success of infrainguinal arterial bypass in diabetic limb and foot salvage, optimism remains guarded because of purported high late mortality and limb loss in patients with diabetes. DESIGN Inception cohort, with minimum 5-year follow-up. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Eight hundred forty-three consecutive patients undergoing lower extremity arterial rec...

INTRODUCTION Mangled upper limb injuries are at surge because of industrialization, modernization, and severe motor vehicle accidents. The utility of various scoring systems are meant for decision making in mangled lower limb injuries, and the same have been extrapolated for mangled upper limb injuries to make a decision of salvage or amputation for the lack of separate scoring system.
