Double free-flap for a bimalleolar defect of lower leg and ankle
Double free-flaps are necessary when tissue cover cannot be sufficed with a single flap. The other factors to be considered when using two free flaps for resurfacing of distal limb defects are the availability of more than one recipient vessel, the risk ...

"The Practical Perforator Flap": the sural artery flap for lower extremity soft tissue reconstruction in wounds of war [PDF]
Background: Sural artery perforator flaps have been described for use as both local flaps and in free tissue transfer. We present the use of this flap for compound soft tissue defects of the lower limb in civilian casualties of armed conflict in ...

Autologous Microvascular Breast Reconstruction [PDF]
Autologous microvascular breast reconstruction is widely accepted as a key component of breast cancer treatment. There are two basic donor sites; the anterior abdominal wall and the thigh/buttock region.

The treatment of soft-tissue defects of the lower leg after a traumatic open tibial fracture [PDF]
The treatment of large soft-tissue defects of the lower leg remains a challenge. The timing of the operation, the most suitable type of tissue, and the decision between local or free flap coverage still remains under discussion.

Role of the double muscle gastrocnemius-soleus flap in soft tissue defect reconstruction of the leg in children: Case series [PDF]
The reconstructive surgeon faces a problem when dealing with larger soft tissue lesions over the knee and the proximal two thirds of the tibia, two crucial sites of the lower limb. Large free flaps or pedicled local flaps are two solutions of the problem.

Wake and aeroelasticity of a flexible pitching foil [PDF]
A flexible foil undergoing pitching oscillations is studied experimentally in a wind tunnel with different imposed free stream velocities. The chord-based Reynolds number is in the range 1600--4000, such that the dynamics of the system is governed by inertial forces and the wake behind the foil exhibits the reverse B\'enard-von K\'arm\'an vortex street

Free Tissue Reconstruction of the Scalp
Reconstruction of scalp defects can be accomplished by many methods, but larger defects, especially those in which the periosteum is absent or calvarial defects are present, require free tissue transfer. Various methods of scalp reconstruction, as guided

Failure by congestion of pedicled and free flaps for reconstruction of lower limbs after trauma: the role of negative-pressure wound therapy [PDF]
Lower limb reconstruction with pedicled or free flaps can be commonly compromised by venous insufficiency. This complication often leads to partial/complete flap necrosis and increases the risk of superinfection. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is
