Postoperative Outcome of Prelaminated Radial Forearm Free Flap for Soft Palate Reconstruction
ABSTRACT Objectives One method for the reconstruction of the entire soft palate is to use prelaminated radial forearm flaps (PRFFF). In a two‐step procedure the back of the flap is first epithelialized with split‐skin and subsequently used for soft palate reconstruction. Limited data exist on the perioperative and postoperative course of this technique.

Endoscopic carpal tunnel pressure measurement: a reliable technique for complete release [PDF]
Carpal tunnel syndrome is diagnosed by clinical symptoms, Tinel's sign, Phalen's test and electromyography. Carpal tunnel pressure measurement can also aid in the precise identification of excessive pressure sites that indicate locations for release.

Arthroscopic Graft Reconstruction for Nonrepairable Scapholunate Ligament Injuries
Abstract Disruption of the scapholunate intercarpal ligament (SLIL) remains one of the most challenging wrist pathologies to treat. As this injury progresses, diastasis of the scapholunate interval and secondary carpal malalignment occur, leading to abnormal motion and arthritis.
