Background: The transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon to the dorsum of foot can restore the function of the paralyzed dorsiflexor muscles of the foot and ankle. In order to reduce the wound complication in the insertion site of tendon to bone by a plantar knop we used a new method of fixation by an absorbable screw inserted dorsally. Methods: we performed this operation on 15 patients in...

Wound complications such as infection, hematoma and seroma formation are major causes of delayed recovery and prolonged hospital stay after cesarean delivery. In addition to surgical technique, suture materials are implicated in these complications. Subcutaneous fat tissue is particularly susceptible to developing such problems because of its poor vascular supply. To investigate any difference ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of covering repaired AATR using well-nourished connective tissues (paratenon and deep fascia) to avoid complications after open repair.   Methods: In this case series study, open repair was performed for 3...

The primary objectives of basic wound management center around promoting optimal wound healing and cosmesis. These objectives may be achieved through the systematic assessment, preparation, and repair of the laceration supplemented with appropriate patient care instructions. The meticulous and methodical management of traumatic wounds described in this article will assist the emergency physicia...

Wound complications following cardiac surgery are typically infectious and associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Calciphylaxis, vascular calcification of small and medium sized vessels, often associated with end-stage renal disease, can result in extensive tissue necrosis. We hypothesize that calciphylaxis is an under-recognized and under-reported precipitating wound and breast compli...

Two cases are described of late pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta caused by dehiscence of infected aortocoronary vein graft suture lines. Both cases were associated with early postoperative Staphylococcus aureus superficial wound infection. This complication should be suspected in patients developing protracted wound infections after operation, particularly when associated with rigors.

Background: Health care provider perform experience in deal with chronic wound management by identifying the exact cause, location, and type of which must be assessed to provide appropriate minimize complications is essential current healthcare environment for that assessment tools are designed support all qualified nurses field delivering safe care.Methodology: Longitudinal follow-up study des...
