hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. we present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. clinical and imaging (radiography, ct) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

introduction: providing the material for penile reconstruction after release of chordee associated with hypospadias is challenging. we have used the preputial vascularized island flap for this purpose. we report the results of this prospective study. materials and methods: one hundred and twelve boys ranging from 13 months to 12 years of age were enrolled in this study. the location of meatus r...

Despite all modern surgical techniques, skin flap that is considered as the main method in most reconstructive surgeries puts the skin tissue at danger of necrosis and apoptosis derived from ischemia. Therefore, finding a treatment for decreasing the apoptosis derived from flap ischemia will be useful in clinic. In present study, we evaluated the effect of azelaic acid 20% and finasteride on ex...

the problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. by using the fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionallygraded strip containing a screw dislocation. the stress components reveal the familiar cauchy singularity at thelocation of dislocation. the solution is empl...

simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (ip) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. and dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (mcp) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of ip joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous mcp and ip joint dis...

Introduction: Reconstruction of the oral cavity witha flap design containing the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle but excluding the facial artery and vein is the topic of these case reports. Case Reports: This article uses random pattern vertically oriented partial thickness buccinator myomucosal flap for intraoral reconstruction in two cases. The first was for lining the mandibular anterior...

a case of soft tissue defect of dorsal hand due to crush injury in a 37-year-old female is reported here. the reconstructive surgery was performed for the hand soft-tissue defect. among different flaps used in the surgery, the regional flap such as radial forearm flap can be done. but usually it is not accepted by patient because of cosmetic appearance. therefore, random pattern abdominal flap ...
