Double free-flap for a bimalleolar defect of lower leg and ankle

open access: yesIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...

Role of the double muscle gastrocnemius-soleus flap in soft tissue defect reconstruction of the leg in children: Case series [PDF]

open access: yesScripta Medica, 2023
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]

open access: yesBioinspir. Biomim. 17 045002 (2022), 2022
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

open access: yesSeminars in Plastic Surgery, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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
