ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of the treatment for fresh achilles tendon rupture by modified double Kessler suture with S type incision .Methods Totally 21 cases of fresh achilles tendon rupture were admitted into our hospital from January 2012 to Decem-ber 2015, and they were treated by S type incision modified double Kessler suture within 7 days (averagely 4.1 days).Observed the postop-erative complications and evaluated the efficacy with Arner-Lindholm.Results All the 21 patients were followed for 6 to 24 months ( aver-agely 12 months).There was no incision infection ,necrosis, re-fracture of achilles tendon and other complications .There were 16 cases of excellent and 5 cases of good , with the excellent and good rate of 100% through the Arner-Lindholm evaluation criteria .Conclusion Modified double Kessler suture with S incision for the treatment of fresh achilles tendon rupture is conducive to early functional exercise ,and it can obtain satisfactory clinical efficacy .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the application and therapeutic effect of advanced orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM ) flap for eyelid defect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Uni-pedicle or bi-pedicle advanced OOM flaps were designed according to the location, depth and size of the eyelid defects. The resulted wounds in the donor sites were closed directly. The flap size ranged from 1.5 cm x 0.5 cm - 6.0 cm x 3.5 cm.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>120 cases were treated. All the flaps survived except for 3 flaps with epidermis necrosis at the end of flaps, which healed after dressing. The patients were followed up for 3 -36 months with inconspicious scar in donor sites. The flap color, texture had a good match with surrounding skin.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The OOM flap is ideal for eyelid defect with reliable blood supply, satisfied color and texture. The wound at donor site can be closed directly with less morbidity.</p>
