Purpose:Outcomes of peripheral arterial injury(PAI)depend on various factors,such as warm ischemia time and concomitant injuries.Suboptimal prehospital care may lead to delayed presentation,and a lack of dedicated tra...
Soft tissue sarcoma is rare neoplasms that affect mainly the extremities. Surgery is the mean treatment and the resection results in extensive muscle and skin loss. The anterolateral tight flap is a good option for sa...
BACKGROUND Vascular injuries of the upper extremities are considered relatively rare injuries affecting mostly the young population.They often are complex injuries accompanied by other musculoskeletal trauma or trauma...
Free flap procedure provides an overall success rate of 97%, which decreases to 85% in hypercoagulable states. COVID-19, as a pro-thrombotic disorder, therefore seems detrimental to free flap survival. We encountered ...

This paper presents a sensor-guided gait-synchronization system to help potential unilateral knee-injured people walk normally with a weight-supported lower-extremity-exoskeleton(LEE).This relieves the body weight loa...
Combined musculoskeletal and vascular injuries of the extremities are conditions in which a multidisciplinary approach is a sine qua non to ensure life initially and limb viability secondarily.Vascular injuries as par...

Clinically,peripheral nerve reconstructions in neonates are most frequently applied in brachial plexus birth injuries.Most surgical concepts,however,have investigated nerve reconstructions in adult animal models.The i...
Advancements in microsurgical techniques have allowed for the salvage of extremities that would otherwise be amputated.Despite these improvements,mangling injuries of the lower extremity with concomitant open fracture...
Soft-tissue management and subsequent salvage of the lower extremity following trauma has long presented difficult challenges to the plastic surgeon.Trauma to the lower extremity can produce long-term sequelae consist...
