Microsurgery: Free Tissue Transfer and Replantation
MICROSURGERY: FREE TISSUE TRANSFER AND REPLANTATION John R Griffin MD and James F Thornton MD HISTORY In 1964 Nakayama and associates15 reported In the late 1890s and early 1900s surgeons began what is most likely the first clinical series of free- approximating blood vessels, both in laboratory ani- tissue microsurgical transfers. The authors brought mals and human patients, without the aid of magni- vascularized intestinal segments to the neck for cer- fication.1,2 In 1902 Alexis Carrel3 described the vical esophageal reconstruction in 21 patients. The technique of triangulation for blood vessel anasto- intestinal segments were attached by direct microvas- mosis and advocated end-to-side anastomosis for cular anastomoses in vessels 3–4mm diam.

KOROMILAS, Chief Judge MICHAEL E. GROOM, Alternate Judge JAMES A. HAYNES, Alternate Judge JURISDICTION On July 24, 2006 appellant filed a timely appeal from the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs’ June 9, 2006 merit decision terminating her compensation. Pursuant to 20 C.F.R. §§ 501.2(c) and 501.3(d)(2), the Board has jurisdiction over the merits of this case. ISSUE The issue is whether the Office met its burden of proof to terminate appellant’s compensation effective June 10, 2006 on the grounds that she no longer had residuals of her employment injury after that date. FACTUAL HISTORY On May 5, 2000 appellant, then a 52-year-old registered dental hygienist, filed an occupational disease claim alleging that she sustained a ganglion cyst on the dorsum of her right wrist due to repeatedly grasping instruments at work. The Office accepted that appellant sustained a ganglion cyst of her right wrist. She stopped work on May 5, 2000 to undergo an excision of the mass of her ganglion cyst and repair of the extensor tendon of the right long finger. The surgery was performed by Dr. Richard S. Bahner, an attending Board-certified orthopedic surgeon, and was authorized by the Office. In July 2000, appellant returned to light-duty work on a full-time basis for the employing establishment. -

It is designed to be read from beginning to end. Plastic specialty which adapts surgical principles and thought processes to the unique needs of each surgery had its beginning thousands of years ago, when clever surgeons in India reconstructed individual patient by remolding, reshaping and manipulating bone, cartilage and all soft tissues. -
Lengthening by Distraction Osteogenesis in Congenital Shortening of Metacarpals
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc 2013;47(2):79-85 doi:10.3944/AOTT.2013.3080 Lengthening by distraction osteogenesis in congenital shortening of metacarpals Mehmet BULUT1, Bekir Yavuz UÇAR1, ‹brahim AZBOY1, Oktay BELHAN2, Erhan YILMAZ2, Lokman KARAKURT2 1Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Dicle University, Diyarbak›r, Turkey; 2Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, F›rat University, Elaz›¤, Turkey Objective: The aim of this study was to present the results of seven cases of metacarpal lengthening by distraction osteogenesis and to discuss the ideal daily rate of distraction. Methods: Metacarpal lengthening was performed by distraction osteogenesis in the seven metacarpals of four patients (3 females, 1 male; mean age: 14.9 years). A unilateral external fixator was used for length- ening. Lengthening was initiated with a distraction rate of 2×0.5 mm/day in the patient with bilateral involvement of the middle and ring metacarpals. On the tenth day of lengthening, distraction was discon- tinued due to pain and contracture. Then, distraction was continued with a rate of 2×0.25 mm/day. In all other cases, the distraction rate was 0.5 mm/day. Pre- and postoperative range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with visual analog scale. Results: The mean pre- and postoperative metacarpal lengths were 34.6 mm (range: 33 to 37) and 49.7 mm (range: 47 to 52), respectively. The mean lengthening achieved was 15.1 mm (range: 14 to 17), while the mean distraction rate was 0.55 mm/day (range: 0.48 to 0.63). -
Lasers in Spine Surgery: a Review
current concepts invited review Lasers in Spine Surgery: A Review Jack Stern, MD, PhD, FACS Introduction White Plains, NY A Google search with the key words “spine surgery” results in a list of individuals and “in- stitutes” emphasizing the use of laser technology. The words “laser” and “spine surgery” top the list of paid sponsors. A review of print media content in New York also reveals this strong association. Printed ads extolling the virtues of superior surgical outcomes with laser surgery have run for many years. The combination of these two words clearly prompts patient interest. The substantial long-term costs of print ads would indicate that they also prompt patient response. The general notion is that laser surgery results in less blood loss, is less invasive and is more ef- fective in treating a variety of spinal conditions, especially herniated discs. This author polled 24 neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons in the New York City area. Interestingly, while two thirds use minimally invasive techniques, none use laser technology. In the hope of providing some clarity, this review is intended to address: 1. The basic physics of lasers. 2. The general applicability of lasers in surgical practice. 3. The role of lasers in spinal surgery. 4. Review of pertinent literature with emphasis on outcomes. Basic Physics of Lasers Laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. In this case, “light” refers to the ultraviolet (UV) (150 to 400 nm), visible (390 to 700 nm) and infrared (greater than 700 nm) portions of the electromagnetic spectrum produced by “stimulated emission,” a process that imparts the monochromaticity and coherence of laser light. -
