Type IV hypoplasia, also known as floating thumb, includes two small phalanges attached to the hand with a thin skin bridge containing neurovascular bundle.

Six days later, the baby showed up with the congested thumb. As an urgent treatment, the congested hypoplastic thumb was amputated under local anesthesia.","PeriodicalId":31023,"journal":{"name":"Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"3 1","pages":"53-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81134923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It appears to be more common and severe in women between ages 30 and 60. Platelet rich plasma (PRP), autologous blood and corticosteroid injections are widely applied treatment modalities with various success rates. We aimed to investigate clinical outcomes of these three injection techniques. Study Design is Prospective randomized clinical trial. Methods Fifty two patients (19 men, 33 women) whom were diagnosed lateral epicondylitis between the years 2011 and 2013, with a mean age 43,7years (min 18, max 62) were randomized into three groups according to application order. Each group received one of the injection treatments: PRP, autologous blood or corticosteroid. Comparative clinical outcomes evaluated prospectively. Assessments performed by a blind evaluator by visual analog scale (VAS), presence of tenderness, QuickDASH scores, grip strength measurements in pre-injection period and in post-injection first, third and sixth months. Statistical analyses performed in SPSS 21 software by Pearsons chi-squared, Anova, Kruskar Wallis and McNemar tests. Results Changes of VAS and QuickDASH scores in each group were significant according to pre-injection and post-injection first, third, sixth month evaluations (p","PeriodicalId":31023,"journal":{"name":"Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"61 1","pages":"20-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78327679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Management of a complex defect in the complicated calcaneal area with allogenic tibia and free anterolateral thigh flap is presented. A 37-year-old male patient was presented with a heel defect after a mine injury. The patient underwent serial debridement, thereafter allogeneic proximal tibia defect was properly shaped, hammered and forged into the tibia medullary defect without any fixation material. The graft was covered with free sensate anterolateral thigh flap. The most important disadvantage of allogeneic bone grafts is the lack of blood supply. In the presented case, the blood supply of the bone graft was provided thanks to the blood supply from the medulla of the tibia. Therefore, it was possible to pass the blood inside the allograft. It can be predicted that this intramedullary vascularization also carries stem cells into the medium, further triggering recovery and regeneration.","PeriodicalId":31023,"journal":{"name":"Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"4 1","pages":"98-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82030791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
