RESUMO

Introducción. El cáncer de riñón es la undécima neoplasia maligna más común en los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. El carcinoma de células claras de riñón (CCR) es considerado la estirpe más frecuente y representa el 2-3 % de todos los cánceres a nivel mundial. En el contexto de la enfermedad metastásica, por lo general se identifica un tumor renal primario y las metástasis se localizan en pulmón, hueso, hígado, cerebro y, raramente, en tejidos blandos. Los pacientes con metástasis a tejidos blandos no tienen síntomas en las etapas iniciales y generalmente se identifican sólo cuando las lesiones aumentan de tamaño o durante el estudio de la pieza de resección quirúrgica. Caso clínico. Se presenta el caso de una paciente en la séptima década de la vida, con una metástasis en tejidos blandos de la región sacra, de 10 años de evolución posterior a una nefrectomía secundario a CCR. Resultados. Hallazgos clínicos e imagenológicos de un tumor bien delimitado. Se realizó resección quirúrgica de la lesión, bajo anestesia regional, con extirpación completa. Conclusión. Se recomienda que los pacientes con un sitio metastásico resecable y solitario sean llevados a resección quirúrgica con márgenes libres, como fue el caso de nuestra paciente, por su fácil acceso y ser una lesión única. En el CCR, además de su tratamiento quirúrgico inicial, es indispensable una estrecha vigilancia con examen físico e imágenes transversales, para detectar la presencia de metástasis y con ello evitar tratamientos tardíos.


Introduction. Kidney cancer is the eleventh most common malignancy in the United States of Mexico. Carcinoma renal cell (CRC) is considered the most frequent type and represents 2-3% of all cancers worldwide. In the setting of metastatic disease, a primary renal tumor is usually identified, and metastases are located in the lung, bone, liver, brain, and rarely in soft tissue. Patients with soft tissue metastases do not have symptoms in the initial stages and are generally found only when the lesions increase in size or during the study of the surgical resection piece. Clinical case. In this case, we report a female patient in the seventh decade of life with a soft tissue metastasis located in the sacral region, 10 years after a nephrectomy secondary to CRC. Results. Clinical and radiological findings of a well-defined tumor. Surgical resection of the lesion is performed under regional anesthesia with complete excision. Conclusions. It is recommended that patients with a resectable and solitary metastatic site be candidates for surgical resection with free margins, as was the case with our patient due to its easy access and single lesion. In CRC, in addition to its initial surgical treatment, close surveillance with physical examination and cross-sectional images is essential to monitor the presence of metastases and thus avoid late treatments.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective To verify changes in facial soft tissue using the RadiANT-DICOM-viewer and Dolphin Imaging software, through linear measurements of tomographic points in a 3D reconstruction of the face and volumetric evaluation with three-dimensional measurements of the upper airways of patients with transverse maxillary discrepancy undergoing Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME). Methods Retrospective, transverse, and descriptive study, through the analysis of computed tomography scans of the face of patients with transverse maxillary discrepancy, treated from July 2019 to December 2022. The sample consisted of 15 patients of both sexes, aged 21-42 years old, who underwent surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion using the transpalatal distractor. Analysis was performed through linear, angular, and three-dimensional measurements in millimeters, in the preoperative and late four-month postoperative period, in frontal 3D tomographic images of the face, in the region of the width of the nose and alar base and also angular measurement in the lateral tomography for the angle nasolabial and upper airways of rhinopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx. Results There was an increase in nasal width with an average of 1.3467 mm and an increase in the alar base with an average of 1.7333 mm. A significant difference was found in the pre- and postoperative assessments of the measurements of nasal width, alar base and nasolabial angle, as well as the upper airways in all their extension. The results favour a better understanding of the professional and the patient regarding the diagnosis and management of patients with transverse maxillary width discrepancies. Conclusion Although our study shows an increase in soft tissues after SARME, no aesthetic changes are observed clinically, and all patients report significant respiratory improvement. SARME may therefore contribute to the improvement of professionals working in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics. Level of evidence: Level 4.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective This study aims to develop a compound biomaterial to achieve effective soft tissue regeneration. Methodology Compound hyaluronic acid (CHA) and liquid horizontal-platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF) were mixed at a ratio of 1:1 to form a CHA-PRF gel. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were used in this study. The effect of CHA, H-PRF, and the CHA-PRF gel on cell viability was evaluated by CCK-8 assays. Then, the effect of CHA, H-PRF, and the CHA-PRF gel on collagen formation and deposition was evaluated by qRT‒PCR and immunofluorescence analysis. Finally, qRT‒PCR, immunofluorescence analysis, Transwell assays, and scratch wound-healing assays were performed to determine how CHA, H-PRF, and the CHA-PRF gel affect the migration of HGFs. Results The combination of CHA and H-PRF shortened the coagulation time of liquid H-PRF. Compared to the pure CHA and H-PRF group, the CHA-PRF group exhibited the highest cell proliferation at all time points, as shown by the CCK-8 assay. Col1a and FAK were expressed at the highest levels in the CHA-PRF group, as shown by qRT‒PCR. CHA and PRF could stimulate collagen formation and HGF migration, as observed by fluorescence microscopy analysis of COL1 and F-actin and Transwell and scratch healing assays. Conclusion The CHA-PRF group exhibited greater potential to promote soft tissue regeneration by inducing cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and migration in HGFs than the pure CHA or H-PRF group. CHA-PRF can serve as a great candidate for use alone or in combination with autografts in periodontal or peri-implant soft tissue regeneration.

RESUMO

Abstract Oral soft tissue lesions require a precise diagnosis by oral biopsy with the ability to recognize these lesions within histopathological levels, so the instrument used for the incisions should be safe and cause little to no harm to the surrounding tissue. Objective This study compared a dual-wavelength diode laser and an Er, Cr:YSGG laser in oral soft tissue incisions to determine the most effective and safest laser system at the histopathological level. Methodology The (810 and 980 nm) dual-wavelength diode laser was used at 1.5 W and 2.5 W (CW) power settings, and the (2780 nm) Er, Cr:YSGG laser was used at 2.5 W and 3.5 W (PW) power settings. Both laser systems were used to incise the tissues of freshly dissected sheep tongue pieces to obtain the following histopathological criteria: epithelial tissue changes, connective tissue changes, and lateral thermal damage extent by optical microscopy. Results The epithelial and connective tissue damage scores were significantly higher in the dual-wavelength diode laser groups than in the Er, Cr:YSGG laser groups (P<0.001), and there was a significant difference between some groups. The extent of lateral thermal damage was also significantly higher in the diode laser groups than in the Er, Cr: YSGG laser groups (P<0.001), and there was a significant difference between groups. Group 2 (2.5 W) of the diode laser was the highest for all three criteria, while group 3 (2.5 W) of the Er, Cr:YSGG laser was the lowest. Conclusion The Er, Cr:YSGG laser with an output power of 2.5 W is, histologically, the most effective and safest laser for oral soft tissue incision. The dual-wavelength diode laser causes more damage than the Er, Cr:YSGG laser, but it can be used with a low output power and 1 mm safety distance in excisional biopsy.

RESUMO

Objective To explore the imaging features, clinical outcome, and prognosis of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPN) in patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Methods A retrospective study of 82 patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma who have IPNs. The clinical characteristics, imaging features of IPN, and survival of patients were analyzed with statistical software. Results The IPN size of 82 patients was 6.453±0.864 mm. IPN diameter, shape, density, and nodule discovery interval may be CT imaging features related to malignancy tendency. Age (HR=1.047, 95%CI: 1.007-1.088) and interval between each nodule discovery (HR=3.194, 95%CI: 1.052-9.694) are independent factors that affect the survival of patients with malignant IPN. Conclusion The imaging features of chest CT may provide important guidance for determining the nature and survival prognosis of benign and malignant nodules.

RESUMO

@#After tooth extraction, significant absorption occurs in the soft and hard tissues of the alveolar ridge. The goal of alveolar ridge preservation is to maintain the volume and shape of the alveolar ridge's soft and hard tissues as much as possible so as to provide suitable conditions for implant placement. Currently, there are challenges in classifying the socket for alveolar ridge preservation, such as the difficulty in directly guiding the selection of graft materials and clinical procedures and the insufficient space for particle xenograft maintenance, resulting in poor bone regeneration. Plasmatrix is an autologous blood derivative that effectively enhances tissue regeneration. This article introduced the characteristics of soft and hard tissue defects after tooth extraction and the primary applications of plasmatrix for alveolar ridge preservation (liquid plasmatrix, solid plasmatrix membrane/plug, and plasmatrix bone blocks) as well as the proposed methods for the reclassification of sockets for alveolar ridge preservation based on soft and hard tissue defects at the extraction site to facilitate the creation of clinical recommendations. The proposed classifications are as follows: Class I, extraction socket without bone defect, with or without soft tissue defect; Class Ⅱ, extraction socket with bone defect, both sides with bone wall defect less than 50%, with or without soft tissue defect; Class Ⅲ, extraction socket with bone tissue defect, at least one side with bone wall defect greater than 50%, with or without soft tissue defect. For the Class I socket, a solid plasmatrix membrane or plug is inserted, followed by injection of liquid plasmatrix, using a double-layer solid plasmatrix membrane for socket closure; for the ClassⅡ socket, plasmatrix bone blocks are inserted, followed by injection of liquid plasmatrix and secondary solidification, using absorbable collagen membrane and double-layer solid plasmatrix membrane for socket closure; for the ClassⅢ socket, tenting screws are used to maintain height, followed by implantation of plasmatrix bone blocks, injection of liquid plasmatrix and secondary solidification, using absorbable collagen membrane and double-layer solid plasmatrix membrane for socket closure. The aim of this article is to provide comprehensive knowledge of plasmatrix for oral clinicians to serve as a reference to simplify the clinical decision-making process and procedures for alveolar ridge preservation.

RESUMO

SUMMARY: Malocclusion is usually treated based on clinical decisions complemented with a cephalometric analysis, allowing the comparison of an individual with standard reference norms. Cephalometric standards have mostly been obtained from Caucasian population, but may not be appropriate for other ethnic groups, becoming a clinically relevant problem in multicultural and multiracial societies. The present study aimed to establish cephalometric norms for Chilean-Latino population, using a representative sample of class I individuals in permanent dentition. A sample of 72 cephalometric x-rays of class I growing individuals (47 women and 25 men) between 10 and 20 years of age with class I occlusion and harmonic profile was obtained from the records of the Universidad de los Andes taken between 2012 and 2019, including 1164 individuals. The radiographs were classified according to their cervical vertebral maturation status, and cephalometrically analyzed, obtaining vertical and sagittal parameters in soft and hard tissues, which were compared with Caucasian cephalometric norms. The statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics (T-test, ANOVA and Bonferroni tests). Cephalometric norms were obtained for hard and soft tissues. Upon comparison with Caucasian norms, the subjects included in the sample present a tendency towards a convex profile, significant incisal proclination, dental protrusion, labial biprotrusion and an acute nasolabial angle. There are cephalometric differences between the Caucasian cephalometric norms and those observed Chilean Latino population, displaying differences at a hard and soft tissue level that should be taken into account for clinical decision making in Orthodontics.


La maloclusión generalmente se trata con base en decisiones clínicas complementadas con un análisis cefalométrico, lo que permite la comparación de un individuo con normas de referencia estándar. Los estándares cefalométricos se han obtenido en su mayoría de población caucásica, pero pueden no ser apropiados para otros grupos étnicos, convirtiéndose en un problema clínicamente relevante en sociedades multiculturales y multirraciales. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo establecer normas cefalométricas para población chileno-latina, utilizando una muestra representativa de individuos clase I en dentición permanente. Se obtuvo una muestra de 72 radiografías cefalométricas de individuos en crecimiento clase I (47 mujeres y 25 hombres) entre 10 y 20 años de edad con oclusión clase I y perfil armónico de los registros de la Universidad de los Andes tomados entre 2012 y 2019, incluidas 1164 personas. Las radiografías se clasificaron según su estado de maduración vertebral cervical, y se analizaron cefalométricamente, obteniendo parámetros verticales y sagitales en tejidos blandos y duros, que se compararon con normas cefalométricas caucásicas. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante estadística descriptiva e inferencial (T-test, ANOVA y pruebas de Bonferroni). Se obtuvieron normas cefalométricas para tejidos duros y blandos. En comparación con las normas caucásicas, los sujetos incluidos en la muestra presentan una tendencia hacia un perfil convexo, proinclinación incisal significativa, protrusión dental, biprotrusión labial y un ángulo nasolabial agudo. Existen diferencias entre las normas cefalométricas caucásicas y las observadas en población latina chilena, mostrando diferencias a nivel de tejidos duros y blandos que se deben considerar para la toma de decisiones clínicas en Ortodoncia.

RESUMO

The use of root coverage procedures to treat gingival recession defects, a common periodontal condition, is an important aspect of periodontal regenerative therapy. The synergistic relationship between vascular configuration and involved tissues is the most important factor in soft tissue graft success. The present case reports the clinical effectiveness of Gingival Unit Graft (GUG) for the management of Miller's class III gingival recession.Clinical parameters like Probing depth, recession depth, keratinized tissue width and clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and postoperative 6 months. Percentage of defect coverage was evaluated at postoperative 6 months. Healing was uneventful and 3mm root coverage was observed with 1mm residual recession and increase in keratinized gingiva after 6 months follow up. Free soft tissue autografts such as gingival unit transfers can be used along with bio-adhesives such as cyanoacrylates for predictable results in the management of recession defects.

RESUMO

Schwannomas are neurogenic tumors arising from the Schwann cells present in the neural sheath of the myelinated nerves. These are benign tumors that can arise anywhere in the body. Schwannomas are rarely seen in the nose and paranasal sinuses representing <4% of all head-and-neck schwannomas. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice in these cases. Nasal polyps are common nasal cavity lesions which are usually inflammatory polyps. Schwannoma of the nasal cavity usually presented with headache, unilateral nasal obstruction due to mass obliterating the nasal cavity, and epistaxis. Here, we report the case of a 47-year-old female who presented with a mass in the left nasal cavity causing the nasal blockage.

RESUMO

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary tumor of the liver. Extrahepatic metastasis occurs mostly through the hematogenous route and is seen in around one-third of patients with the common sites of involvement being the lungs, regional lymph nodes, bone, adrenal glands, and pancreas. Soft-tissue metastasis from HCC is an extremely rare condition. Here, we present a rare case of an elderly male, with HCC presenting as a soft-tissue mass in the gluteal region. We further provide a detailed discussion regarding the investigative approach used to arrive at the diagnosis and the treatment modalities offered. Case reports like this may offer insight into the possibilities of such unusual presentations and aid the clinician in his endeavor to the early diagnose and treat the patient.

RESUMO

Introducción. Las armas de energía cinética son diseñadas para generar lesiones dolorosas y superficiales. Sin embargo, las lesiones asociadas causan confusión al ser abordadas como heridas por proyectil de arma de fuego, convirtiendo el enfoque y el manejo correcto en un desafío. El caso presentado describe un paciente herido en el cuello por arma traumática con el objetivo de analizar factores que permitan identificar este tipo de heridas y sus implicaciones en el manejo. Caso clínico. Paciente masculino de 31 años que ingresó con intubación orotraqueal, remitido de una institución de nivel 2, con herida por aparente proyectil de arma de fuego con trayectoria transcervical. Se encontró hemodinámicamente estable, pero con dificultad para la valoración clínica, por lo que se realizaron exámenes complementarios que descartaron lesión aerodigestiva. La tomografía de cuello reportó proyectil alojado en musculatura paravertebral izquierda, descartando trayectoria transcervical. Discusión. El comportamiento de las lesiones asociadas a los proyectiles de armas depende de varios factores, como el tipo de material del proyectil, su velocidad y las propiedades del tejido impactado. Se presentó un caso en que inicialmente se sospechaba una lesión transcervical, pero con la evaluación se identificó el proyectil cinético en la musculatura paravertebral. Conclusión. En el abordaje de un paciente con sospecha de herida por proyectil de arma de fuego se debe considerar ante todo la respuesta clínica y la correlación del supuesto vector del proyectil con las lesiones sospechadas. La evaluación imagenológica permite identificar oportunamente los proyectiles y evitar procedimientos o terapias innecesarias que forman parte del manejo convencional del paciente con trauma penetrante


Introduction. Kinetic energy weapons are designed to produce superficial and painful injuries. Nevertheless, the approach of these patients in the emergency department can be confusing as they can be managed as gunshot wounds. This case describes a patient with an injury in the neck caused by kinetic energy gun. In addition, we analyzed factors that might identify these wounds and their implications in the management. Clinical case. A 31-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department referred from a second level hospital with gunshot wound with suspected trans-cervical trajectory. They performed orotracheal intubation and transferred to our institution. Due to the patient ́s hemodynamic stability and impossibility for clinical evaluation, test and radiology tests were performed. These ruled out any aero-digestive injuries. The CT-scan reported a bullet hosted in the left paravertebral muscles, ruling out a trans-cervical trajectory. Discussion. Several factors contribute to the injuries produced by kinetic energy weapons. The injury patterns may vary according to the bullet material, muzzle velocity and impacted tissue characteristics. In this case, an initial trans-cervical injury was suspected and due to clinical evaluation we identified the bullet hosted in the paravertebral muscles. Conclusion. In the approach of a patient with suspicion of gunshot wound, as surgical team we must consider clinical manifestations and the correlation of the vector with suspected injuries. Evaluation of diagnostic imaging allows the identification of traumatic bullets, avoiding unnecessary procedures in the conventional management of patients with penetrating trauma

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the methods and effect of wound repair after partial skin and soft tissue necrosis of middle and lower leg fracture surgery.Methods:Three kinds of island flaps were used to repair the wound after skin and soft tissue necrosis of middle and lower leg fracture surgery in 22 patients. Nine patients were repaired with sural neurotrophic fascial flaps, 7 patients with posterior tibial artery perforator flaps, and 6 patients with peroneal artery perforator flaps. The area of wound defect was 3.0 cm×3.8 cm to 12.0 cm×9.0 cm. The donor area was directly sutured, or free skin grafted.Results:All patients were the cases after partial skin and soft tissue necrosis of middle and lower leg fracture surgery, with bone, internal fixation plate or tendon exposed. The skin flaps in 21 patients were survived, and the wound healed by first intention. The sural neurotrophic fascial flap necrosis in one patient was due to hematoma and entrapment in vascular pedicle. After 5 to 24 months (mean 9 months) follow-up, texture of flaps was good, no ulcer occured, and outlook of the repaired wound was satisfied. The sutured wound of donor site and skin-grafting had healed by first stage intention.Conclusions:Repair with island flap is an ideal way to the defect wound after skin and soft tissue necrosis of middle and lower leg fracture surgery.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the alterations in soft tissue morphology and thickness in the mid-face region of patients with cleft lip and palate (UCLP) secondary to maxillofacial deformity following Le Fort I osteotomy.Methods:A total of 22 patients (16 males and 6 females aged from 17 to 28 years with an average of 20 years) diagnosed with cleft lip and palate secondary to maxillofacial deformity were collected from the Wuhan University Hospital of Stomatology from July 2012 to August 2020. All patients underwent Le Fort I osteotomy. CBCT scans were obtained at T0 (3 days before surgery), T1 (7 days after surgery), and T2 (1 year after surgery). The Dolphin11.95 software and 3D Slicer software were utilized to measure and analyze the soft tissue near the mid-face osteotomy line. Differences in soft tissue thickness before and after surgery were compared.Results:Before and after the operation, the soft tissue thickness at P3, P5, P6, and P8 on the affected side was thicker than that on the healthy side, and the difference was statistically significant, with a P-value of <0.05. At P5, P6, P7, P8, and P9 below the osteotomy line at T2-T0, the degree of postoperative thinning on the affected side was more apparent than that on the healthy side, and there was statistical significance at P6 ( P<0.05). The postoperative soft tissue asymmetry in the Ck region was improved compared with the preoperative one. The preoperative average protruding of the affected side was 0.63 compared with the healthy side, and the postoperative value was 0.17. The preoperative and postoperative Mann-Whitney U tests showed significantly statistical difference. Conclusions:After Le Fort I osteotomy, the facial asymmetry of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate secondary to maxillofacial deformity is improved. However, there is still a difference in the soft tissue thickness between the healthy side and the affected side, and the change in soft tissue thickness on the affected side is more significant than that on the healthy side.

RESUMO

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of keystone flap (KF) on repair of soft tissue defects at the donor site after flap transfer.Methods:From October 2020 to December 2022, in the Department of Microsurgical Rapair of First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, 12 patients were repaired with KF after transfer of flaps. There were 3 donor sites for lateral thigh myocutaneous flap, 3 for sural nerve nutrient vascular flap, 4 for latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and 2 for medial supramalleolar island flap. Size of the KF was 15.0 cm × 12.0 cm-30.0 cm × 20.0 cm. Types of KF were: 3 of type I, 5 of type IIA, 2 of type IIB and 2 of type Sydney Melanoma Unit (SMU) modification KF design. Four patients were reviewed by telephone follow-up, 5 by WeChat and 3 with outpatient clinic visits to observe the appearance of the transferred KF and postoperative complications. Appearance of flaps was scored and analysed using Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) and Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating (SCAR) .Results:The average follow-up period was 15.9 (2-27) months. The colour and texture of the transferred KF were similar to that of the surrounding skin, together with good sensation recovery. No complication such as osteofascial compartment syndrome, necrosis, wound dehiscence and venous congestion occurred in all patients. At the final follow-up, the scores for VSS was 2.17±0.58 and the score for SCAR was 5.33±1.23, with satisfactory repairing outcomes.Conclusion:As a relay flap, the KF is a simple and effective flap for reconstruction of the defects at the donor site and it can avoid complications that can be caused by direct closure of the soft tissue defect or a wound dehiscence after skin grafting.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of perforator flap of distal cutaneous perforator of medial plantar artery in recon struction of destructive defect in the base plane of proximal phalange of great toe.Methods:Twenty-six patients were treated in the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery of Xuzhou Renci Hospital from September 2017 to December 2021. The patients were 24 males and 2 females, aged 26 to 60 years old. There were 12 defects in left foot and 14 in right foot. All the defects were the residual wounds at the first metatarsophalangeal joint with the defect at 2.0 cm × 3.0 cm - 4.0 cm × 5.0 cm in size. The flaps pedicled with distal cutaneous perforator of the medial plantar artery were used to repair the defects, with a size at 3.2 cm× 4.2 cm in average. Skin grafts were employed to repair the donor sites. Postoperative patient management including lifting the affected limbs and keeping warm, anti-infection, detumescence, anti-coagulation and pain relief.Results:All patients were entered in postoperative follow-up at outpatient clinic for 1-3 years. Twenty-two flaps survived after surgery, except 4 that had dark purple edge indicating venous congestion. Blood supply of the flap was regained after the tension of the flap was relieved by interval suture removal. Appearance of flaps was good, without obvious swelling nor pigmentation, good in elasticity, in hard texture and with good wear resistance. Patients showed no limp of the affected limbs, and without restriction in wearing shoes or walking. The function of feet was evaluated according to the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Societ (AOFAS) I50, with 24 patients in excellent and 2 in good.Conclusion:The anatomy of the flap pedicled with distal cutaneous perforator of the medial plantar artery is relatively constant. It provides a blood supply and does not affect the trunk of major artery. The flap has a thick skin cuticle hence it is wear-resistant. This flap provides a choice to the repair of a defect at proximal segment of great toe.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of a 3D reconstruction assisted preoperative optimal design of anterolateral abdomen cross-region free perforator flaps for repair of soft tissue defects of limbs.Methods:Twenty patients who were treated for soft tissue defects of hand, forearm, foot and ankle in the Department of Hand Surgery, the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo from October 2017 to January 2020 were included in this study. Among the patients,17 had soft tissue defects in hand and forearm and 3 with composite tissue defects including ankle and soft tissue defect of foot. The sizes of soft tissue defects in limbs ranged from 6 cm × 8 cm - 36 cm × 18 cm. Twenty free cross-area perforator flaps were optimal designed with CTA and 3D assisted reconstruction before surgery. Following combinations of flaps were designed: (1) Free perforator flap with inferior abdominal artery and superior abdominal artery; (2) Free perforator flap with superficial iliac circumflex artery and deep iliac circumflex artery; (3) Free perforator flap with superficial iliac circumflex artery and inferior abdominal wall perforator artery; (4) Free perforator flap with perforators of superficial iliac circumflex artery plus superficial abdominal artery; (5) Free perforator flap with perforating artery of lower abdominal wall and superficial artery of abdominal wall. The overall nutritional area of a combined flap were 272.3 cm 2± 12.5 cm 2, 107.4 cm 2± 9.3 cm 2, 193.6 cm 2± 24.2 cm 2, 155.2 cm 2± 20.1 cm 2 and 203.7 cm 2± 16.3 cm 2, respectively. All the donor sites were sutured directly in one stage. The appearance, texture, blood supply, colour, joint movement of affected limbs, recovery and function of donor sites were observed through postoperative follow-up visits at the outpatient clinic. Results:Among the 20 anterolateral transventral perforator flaps, 18 flaps survived successfully; One had partial necrosis after surgery, and healed after dressing change. Subcutaneous haematoma occurred in 1 flap, and survived after drainage. In this study, there was no postoperative infection of flap. A total of 19 flaps healed in one stage, except 1 that had a delayed healing and the flap wound was closed after dressing change for 1 week. According to Disability of Arm, Shouder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire evaluation, which is widely used in the world to evaluate the therapeutic effect after limb injury, combined with the 6-12 months of follow-up, the functional recovery of 17 patients with upper limbs iniury was 7 in excellent, 9 in good and 1 in poor. The overall excellent and good rate achieved 94.1%. All the 3 patients with foot injury recovered well, and the walking and jumping were not significantly affected. The results were all excellent according to the Maryland Foot Function Scoring. Sensation of flaps was evaluated according to the British Sensory Function Evaluation, it showed: 3 in S 2, 15 in S 3 and 2 in S 3+. All 20 flaps had good blood supply, in soft texture, good colour, feeling, thickness and movement. The donor sites all healed well. Conclusion:Combined with an optimal preoperative design, the perforator flap of anterior lateral wall cross-region can obtain a satisfactory clinical efficacy in repair of large area soft tissue defects. It is a feasible treatment method.

RESUMO

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of 3D printed individualised prosthesis in treating bone and joint defects in upper limbs remained after earlier microsurgical repairs.Methods:From June 2019 to September 2021, 12 patients were treated in the Institute of Orthopaedic Trauma of PLA, the 80th Group Army Hospital for bone and joint defects in upper limb that had been remained after earlier repairs with soft tissue flaps. The defects were: 1 in completely severed wrist, 2 defects of digit metacarpal bone, 4 defects of interphalangeal joint, 4 defects of bones in radiocarpal joint and 1 defect of lunate bone. The area of soft tissue defect ranged from 1.5 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×18.0 cm, and the length of bone defects ranged from 2.5 to 8.5(average 3.64) cm. For incompletely severed and completely severed limbs, replantation of severed limbs (digits) were performed in the primary surgery and the repair of soft tissue defects were performed in the second stage surgery. The remaining defects of bone and joint were reconstructed by 3D printed individualised prostheses in the third stage surgery. Finger soft tissue defects were covered with a local flap in the primary surgery, and bone and joint defects were reconstructed with a 3D printed prosthesis in the second surgery. Finger soft tissue defects were covered with a local flap in the first phase, and bone and joint defects were reconstructed with a 3D printed prosthesis in the second phase. After the surgery, the bone integration between the broken end of the bone joint defect and the prosthesis was determined based on the X-ray results and the Paley fracture healing score standard. Simultaneously measured the Total Active Motion(TAM) of the forearm and hand joints. At 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after hospital discharge. Follow-up X-ray examinations were taken followed by examinations on the recovery of soft tissues and bones. The upper limb function was graded according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association.Results:Postoperative follow-up at outpatient clinic lasted for 6 to 26 months, with an average of 11.5 months. All flaps were free from necrosis and infection, also there was no infection in bones and joints. According to the Paley fracture healing scale, 10 patients were in excellent and 2 in good. In addition, according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, 5 patients achieved upper limb function in excellent, 5 in good and 2 in fair. The ranges of motion of the affected wrists were 30°-42°(average 37.3°) for the implanted prostheses of distal end of radius and the radial shaft. Wrist flexion 40° to 55°(average 43.5°). The range of motion of finger and wrist was 60° to 70°(average 65.7°) with a metacarpal and phalangeal bone prosthesis.Conclusion:3D printed individually customised prostheses are safe, accurate and effective in repair of the remained bone and joint defects in upper limbs after primary and early stages of microsurgical flap repairs. It can effectively restore anatomical structures of bone and joint in upper limbs.

RESUMO

Oral and maxillofacial-head and neck soft tissue defects affect the appearance of patients, as well as pronunciation, swallowing and other functions. Introduction of the propeller flap in 1991 has improved reconstruction procedures for oral and maxillofacial-head and neck soft tissue defects. A propeller flap has several advantages over traditional local flaps. It improves mobility, colour and texture matching for maxillofacial defect, surgical procedure, and individual satisfaction. Therefore, it can be used as a complement to the traditional flap by providing surgeons with more options. This paper reviews the classification, surgical procedures, and recent clinical applicatiosn and indications of the propeller flap.
