A novel split-thickness skin graft donor site: the radial skin paddle.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To eliminate morbidity of the thigh split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor site in forearm flaps, the feasibility of harvesting from an alternate site was assessed. STUDY DESIGN: Case series with planned data collection. SETTING: A ... Read more...

[Musculosceletal reconstruction in bilateral forearm transplantation]

15 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Improvement of motor function of the upper extremity was investigated in a patient following bilateral forearm transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Following an electric shock injury with amputation of both forearms at the proximal ... Read more...

Development of a new method to harvest chondroprogenitor cells from underneath cartilage defects in the knees.

5 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal progenitor cells from bone marrow hold great potential as a cell source for cartilage repair. Aspiration from the iliac crest is the most widely used method to harvest bone marrow cells for cartilage repair. The objective of ... Read more...
