Acute Thumb Reconstruction With Medial Femoral Condyle and Radial Forearm Free Flaps: A Case Report.

Traumatic thumb injuries often result in significant functional disability. With segmental bone loss, reconstructive options include antibiotic cement with delayed bone graft, revision amputation with webspace deepening, metacarpal distraction osteogenesis, index pollicization, bone flap, and free toe transfer. We present a case of a subtotal thumb amputation just distal to the metacarpal phalangeal joint resulting in loss of both soft tissue and a segmental bone defect of the proximal and distal phalanx. Reconstruction was initially performed with a chimeric bone free flap from the medial femoral condyle with a vastus medialis muscle cuff to provide soft tissue coverage. A revision soft tissue coverage procedure was required and a radial forearm free flap was utilized. His reconstruction restored his missing bone and soft tissue, and provided stability with sufficient grip strength and metacarpophalangeal function resulting in a satisfactory functional outcome.

Polyurethane-based hydrogels are relatively inexpensive and mechanically robust biomaterials with ideal properties for various applications, including drug delivery, prosthetics, implant coatings, soft robotics, and tissue engineering. In this report, we present a simple method for synthesizing and casting biocompatible polyurethane-poly(ethylene glycol) (PU-PEG) hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties, non-fouling characteristics, and sustained tolerability as an implantable material or coating. The hydrogels are synthesized via a simple one-pot method using commercially available precursors and low toxicity solvents and reagents, yielding a consistent and biocompatible gel platform primed for long-term biomaterial applications.

In humans, germline TP53 mutations predispose carriers to a wide spectrum of cancers, which is known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). To date, the association of melanomas with LFS remains unestablished. No melanomas have been reported in any P53-modified mouse models either. Read More

What Is the Outcome of the First Revision Procedure of Primary THA for Osteoarthritis? A Study from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2022 Aug 18. Epub 2022 Aug 18.

Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry, South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), South Adelaide, Australia.

Background: Joint arthroplasty registries traditionally report survivorship outcomes mainly on primary joint arthroplasty. The outcome of first revision procedures is less commonly reported, because large numbers of primary procedures are required to analyze a sufficient number of first revision procedures. Additionally, adequate linkage of primary procedures to revisions and mortality is required. Read More

Jun-Ho Moon Min-Gyu Kim Hye-Won Hwang Sung Joo Cho Richard E Donatelli Shin-Jae Lee

Angle Orthod 2022 Aug 18. Epub 2022 Aug 18.

Objectives: To develop a facial growth prediction model incorporating individual skeletal and soft tissue characteristics.

Materials And Methods: Serial longitudinal lateral cephalograms were collected from 303 children (166 girls and 137 boys), who had never undergone orthodontic treatment. A growth prediction model was devised by applying the multivariate partial least squares (PLS) algorithm, with 161 predictor variables. Read More
