Abstract
We evaluated the effect of surgical delay on the preoperative deficit and on its change after surgery. Muscle strength change after ACL reconstruction was also evaluated in relation to patient compliance to treatment. The longer the delay of ACL reconstruction the more the muscle strength deficit of...

Abstract
The demand for bariatric surgery is expected to increase. It is a procedure that carries a high surgical risk, and a risk of postoperative complications due to the pathologies associated with obesity. Obesity surgery is not classified as plastic surgery, but may subsequently lead to plastic surgery-t...

Abstract
Noma causes tissue degeneration of the face resulting in impaired mouth opening with secondary malnutrition and metabolic disorders. Reconstructive plastic surgery for noma can be lifesaving but requires special airway and ventilation techniques because of limited mouth opening. In addition, the Afri...

Abstract
At a mean follow-up of 18 months, 21 patients were alive with no evidence of disease and two patients were alive with metastatic disease; 9 patients died of metastatic disease and one patient of causes unrelated to the primary tumor. Local recurrence was not observed in any of the patients. The mean...

Approximately 4 to 34 percent of infants born with neonatal brachial plexus palsy do not recover spontaneously and require surgery. Despite the increasing availability of microsurgical nerve repair, the authors hypothesize that this condition remains undertreated and that uninsured children and chil...

Abstract
Closing Mohs' defects is a challenging undertaking for surgeons. There are many methods, including linear repair, local flaps, and skin grafts. Traditionally, geometric flaps have been a mainstay, particularly in the cheek and forehead. However, many flaps violate basic principles of following relax...

Abstract
The concept of value-based health care underlies many new improvement initiatives in U.S. health care. To determine value, accurate measures of both outcomes and costs are essential, which may then be compared for the same provider or system over time or between providers, to foster improvement.

Abstract
The aim of lower extremity reconstruction has focused on early wound coverage and functional recovery but rarely aesthetics. Free muscle flaps provide durable coverage; however, they require skin graft coverage and result in muscle atrophy limiting future revisions. Perforator-based flap reconstruct...

Abstract
The sural neurofasciocutaneous flap has been widely used for reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in the lower leg, ankle, and foot. It can provide a large amount of tissue without compromising the function of the leg. The authors report the applications of the free peroneal perforator-based sural...

Distal lower and upper extremity wounds with bone and tendon exposure present unique challenges to reconstructive surgeons. The limitations of the local anatomy usually make simpler reconstructive modalities such as primary closure and skin grafting difficult. As a result, wounds in this area, espec...
