We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients with dorsally displaced Salter-Harris type II distal radial epiphyseal fractures who were aged ≤15 years at the time of injury. All fractures were treated with closed reduction and immobilised using a sugar tong splint for 6 weeks. We evaluated the change in the displaced epiphysis position (%) until 12 weeks and the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes. We analysed significant differences in demographic factors and epiphyseal displacement according to the required period for epiphyseal realignment. The estimated area of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was calculated, and cut-off values were suggested to predict the required period for epiphyseal realignment. Sixteen (28.6%) and 42 (75%) patients achieved realignment of the epiphysis within 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. The cut-off values of 13.1 and 22.9% displacement at the 1-week follow-up were the best predictors of epiphyseal realignment within 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. Patients with a residual displacement of up to 51.3% in the sagittal plane at the 1-week follow-up achieved complete realignment of the epiphysis at the 6-month follow-up. From this study, we could predict the timing of epiphyseal realignment, and expect epiphyseal realignment even if re-displacement occurred up to 51.3% at the 1-week follow-up.","PeriodicalId":16847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"57 1-6","pages":"346-353"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10792771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No reliable large cohort studies or metaanalysis papers on partial flexor tendon laceration management are available in PubMed or Embase.Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Insight, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for primary research articles investigating outcomes of patients with partial flexor tendon injuries. The initial search was limited to human studies that were published from 1970-2021 and indexed as randomized controlled or clinical trials or observational, cross-sectional, or cohort studies. We used statistical package R version 4.1.2 for this meta-analysis.Results: The Standardised mean difference (SMD) of the common effects model was 2.020 (95% CI; 1.583-2.457; P < 0.0001), indicating that the results of conservative treatment without surgical intervention are similar to surgical intervention or better in some articles. The SMD of the random effect model was 7.093 (95% CI; 1.090-13.096; P < 0.0206), indicating the same result. Higgins' I2 value was 97.6%, indicating serious heterogeneity.Conclusions: In this first meta-analysis on flexor zone II conservative treatment, five papers with publication bias were analyzed. It is meaningful to verify the result of conservative treatment statistically. Even though this is a heterogeneous paper, conservative treatment seems to have a lot of benefits for the patient, including offering a fairly solid longterm prognosis with very few complications.","PeriodicalId":16847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"57 1-6","pages":"46-53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10803777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are no significant differences in skin flap necrosis, seroma, implant loss, reoperation and duration of drainage between the two groups.

A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the inter-recti distance on ultrasound measurement. Seven eligible studies with 295 healthy nulliparas were included. The location of the inter-recti distance measurement by ultrasound was not uniform. The pooled data divided the measurement locations into three areas. The meta-analytic summary values of the umbilical inter-recti distance of the nulliparas was 8.77 mm (6.56-10.99 mm), the distance at the epigastric area was 7.22 mm (2.76-11.68 mm), and that at the infraumbilical area was 4.09 mm (1.55-6.64 mm). The maximal reported inter-recti distance in healthy nulliparous women is smaller than 10 mm on ultrasound measurement at all locations and the range in the umbilical area is larger than that in the epigastric, infraumbilical areas. The values for the inter-recti distance reported in this systematic review can be used as the reference of feasible and desirable distance of the rectus muscles after rectus fascia plication. The limitation was that the methodological quality of the assessment in most studies was unclear or low.","PeriodicalId":16847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"57 1-6","pages":"22-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10795783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Western blot was used for quantitative analysis of the above factors. In results, keloid tissue showed a significantly higher fiber and less cell content. In the immunohistochemical result, higher expression of key factors was observed in the epidermis than in the dermal layer, and the expression of all factors was increased remarkably in keloid tissue. In western blot analysis, all factors (except STAT1) showed higher expression in keloid tissue. In our former research, keloid showed similar apoptosis level as physiological scar and normal skin.

Therefore, we assessed the satisfaction rate among patients undergoing subcutaneous mastectomy at our institution with special regard to scar tissue formation and the postoperative appearance of the chest wall in dependence of the surgical approach (periarolar versus inframammary fold).Methods: The study includes n = 36 male patients who underwent subcutaneous mastectomy at AGAPLESION Markus Hospital Frankfurt/Main. Patient's satisfaction dependent with the appearance of the chest wall and scar formation was evaluated by a modified BREAST Q® questionnaire plus two male-based additional questions.Results: There is no statistically significant difference in satisfaction with the operative result depending on the pattern of incision (periareolar versus submammary periareolar; 81.9% versus 75.5%) with the operative result. Evaluation of additional questions of the modified BREAST Q® questionnaire showed that 86% of the patients (n = 31) would rather have more scars and a flatter chest wall. A BMI >25 kg/m2 is accompanied by a higher risk for complications (p = 0.04).Conclusions: Periareolar incision is still the method of choice, if promising an aesthetic appealing result.
