Functional Outcomes of Zancolli Lasso Versus Modified Stiles-Bunnell Techniques for Post-Leprosy Ulnar Claw Hand Correction: A Prospective Randomized Comparative Study.

Background: Leprosy, caused by , leads to peripheral neuropathy, commonly affecting the ulnar nerve, resulting in claw hand deformity. Various tendon transfer techniques, such as the Modified Stiles-Bunnell (flexor digitorum superficialis 4-tail [FDS-4T]) transfer and Zancolli lasso procedure (ZLP), are used for surgical correction. However, comparative studies assessing their functional outcomes are scarce.

Dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flaps for traumatic soft tissue defect of finger: A prospective anatomical and clinical study.

Purpose: Anatomical studies provide the foundation for surgical advancements, particularly in perforator-based procedures. Despite safety measures, hand injuries continue to occur, making reconstructive surgery essential for improving quality of life. Magnification techniques have transformed plastic surgery, aiding perforator-based surgeries and improving outcomes.

Dorsal Carpal Artery Perforator Flaps: An Anatomical and Clinical Study.

Background: Hand injuries pose challenges due to complexity and aesthetic-functional concerns. Dorsum of hand injuries are difficult to treat due to thin skin cover and increased propensity to exposure of underlying structures. Perforator-based flaps can provide better outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.

Free Flap Monitoring Using Infrared Thermography: An Objective Adjunct to Clinical Monitoring.

 Early detection of free flap compromise is critical for salvage of the flap. Various methods of free flap monitoring have been described, but clinical assessment is the standard method for among all. In this study, role of infrared thermography is evaluated for free flap monitoring.

Propeller vs. free fasciocutaneous flap in reconstruction of complex lower limb defects-A prospective study.

Background: Of all body regions, lower extremity wounds have been and remain the greatest challenge. Free flaps have been accepted as a reasonable option to solve this dilemma, but they require the complexity of microsurgery. This study aimed to compare the postoperative and clinical outcomes of propeller flap and fasciocutaneous free flap in the reconstruction of complex lower limb defects.
