Superficial upper limb vasculature and its surgical implications
Richa Gupta, Anjali Aggarwal, Tulika Gupta, Harjeet Kaur, Sunil Gaba, Daisy SahniIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2016 49(2):258-260Any kind of anatomical variation whether encountered during cadaveric dissections or routine clinical or surgical procedures needs to be reported and taken into account. This can be quite helpful in planning surgeries accordingly and avoid disastrous complications. During routine cadaveric dissection, authors found a superficial course of arteries of the arm as well as the forearm, unilaterally in one cadaver. In this case, there were two brachial arteries - superficial and deep. Superficial ...

A case report of acampomelic campomelic dysplasia and operative difficulties in cleft palate reconstruction
M Pasupathy, Vasant Radhakrishnan, Hirji Sorab Adenwalla, Puthucode V NarayananIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2016 49(2):253-257Acampomelic campomelic dysplasia (CD) is a type of CD (CD; OMIM #114290), a rare form of congenital short-limbed dwarfism and is due to mutations in SOX9 gene family. Characteristic phenotypes of CD include bowing of the lower limbs, a narrow thoracic cage, 11 pairs of ribs, hypoplastic scapulae, macrocephaly, flattened supraorbital ridges and nasal bridge, cleft palate and micrognathia. The bending of the long bones is not an obligatory feature and is absent in about 10% of cases, r...

Free gracilis flap for chest wall reconstruction in male patient with Poland syndrome after implant failure
Mario Cherubino, Francesca Maggiulli, Igor Pellegatta, Luigi ValdattaIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2016 49(2):249-252Poland's syndrome (PS) is a congenital monolateral deformity that may involve breast, chest wall, and upper limb with different degrees of clinical expressions. In some cases, the problem is mainly cosmetic, and the reconstruction should be performed to achieve minimal scarring and donor site morbidity. The authors describe a case report of a male patient with PS who developed a severe capsular contraction after 25 years implant reconstruction, who was treated after explantation using free gra...

Algorithmic surgical enhancement of function after finger revascularisation
We describe the case of a patient who underwent multidigit revascularisation and replantation following a saw injury at flexor tendon Zone II. To achieve maximal functional improvement after finger revascularisation, we performed secondary surgical procedures in an order that was determined by following a reconstructive decision procedure that covered late revascularisation, nerve reconstruction, pedicled vascularised joint transfer, staged flexor tendon reconstruction and skin revision. Performing the procedures in this manner ensured overall safety. The patient's disabilities of the arm, hand and shoulder ques...

Precise breast implant placement using percutaneous chest wall markings
Conclusions: For accurate implant placement, a fixed position must be found. Our technique utilises the relative immobility of the ribs for accurate implant placement. Disadvantages to our method were few, and we had two cases of dizziness or patients feeling faint due to pain. There is also a potential allergic or anaphylaxis reaction, but we did not experience any allergic reaction. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

Diagnostic tools in maxillofacial fractures: Is there really a need of three-dimensional computed tomography ?
Conclusion: 3D images gave an inside out picture of the actual sites of fractures. It acted as mind's eye for pre-operative planning and intra-operative execution of surgery. Better surgical treatment could be given to 33% of the cases because of better diagnostic ability of CT. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

Subcutaneous pedicle propeller flap: An old technique revisited and modified!
Conclusion: The choice of surgical procedure for reconstruction of post-burn upper extremity contractures should be made according to the pattern of scar contracture and the state of surrounding skin. The choice of subcutaneous pedicle propeller flap should be emphasised because of the superior functional results of flap as well as ease to learn it. Moreover, the modification of propeller flap described achieves better results in terms of scar healing. There is an inter-positioning of healthy skin in between the graft, so it prevents scar band formation all around the flap. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

Congenital hand anomalies in Upper Egypt
Conclusion: Incidence of congenital hand anomalies in Upper Egypt is difficult to be estimated due to social and cultural concepts, lack of education, poor registration and deficient medical survey. Management of hand anomalies should be individualised, carefully planned and started as early as possible to achieve the best outcome. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)
