Journal ArticleDOI

Lower extremity trauma: trends in the management of soft-tissue reconstruction of open tibia-fibula fractures.

TL;DR: A change in practice is demonstrated, with a trend down the reconstructive ladder, currently using fewer free flaps and more delayed closures and skin grafts with frequent use of the vacuum-assisted closure sponge in open lower leg fractures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological alchemy: engineering bone and fat from fat-derived stem cells.

TL;DR: The ability to isolate pluripotent stem cells from adipose tissue, to induce their differentiation into osteoblasts and adipocytes in vitro, and to form bone and fat subsequently in vivo is demonstrated, the first published report of in vivo bone formation from fat-derived stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk analysis for the reverse sural fasciocutaneous flap in distal leg reconstruction.

TL;DR: Although the reverse sural fasciocutaneous flap is reliable in young healthy patients, it has significant complication rates in patients with comorbidities, especially smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

DIEP flaps in women with abdominal scars: are complication rates affected?

TL;DR: With minor technical modifications, DIEP flaps can be performed successfully without increased flap complications in patients with preexisting abdominal incisions, and patients should be informed of an increased risk for donor-site complications.
