Free Boomerang-shaped Extended Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous flap: The longest possible skin/myocutaneous free flap for soft tissue reconstruction of extremities

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2011
Background: A soft tissue defect requiring flap cover which is longer than that provided by the conventional "long" free flaps like latissimus dorsi (LD) and anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is a challenging problem.

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Free Perforator Flaps in Children

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2005
Raising perforator flaps is said to be a tedious procedure. The benefits, however, are great. In adults, perforator flaps have proved their usefulness and reliability in various clinical situations. In children, donor sites for free flaps are particularly scarce because of the need for a long and reliable vascular pedicle of sufficient size.
