Methods Free skin flap with skin vein was transplanted on the site of tissue defect, connecting by anastomosis the vein with artery or vein of the finger. Results Seven cases were treated with this method,among which 5 cases have sikin defect on the palm aspect of fingers, the rest have skin defect on the dorsal aspect skin of finger. All fingers survived with good shape and function. Conclusion This is a simple and effective method of finger reconstruction for the patients with defect of vessels and skin. 6 refs.展开更多

We retrospectively included 445 consecutive patients with a suspected scaphoid fracture who underwent routine bone scintigraphy. None of the radiographs showed evidence of a fracture. We analyzed the type and number of other fractures incidentally found on bone scintigraphy. On average, bone scintigraphy was done in 4 days (1 - 9). The outcome of bone scintigraphy: 80 (18.0%) a scaphoid fracture, 145 (32.6%) another fracture in the carpal region, 208 (46.7%) normal and the diagnosis of 12 (2.8%) was unclear. In the present study, we demonstrated that in patients with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture and negative initial radiographs, bone scintigraphy detected in many cases (64.4%) other fractures in the carpal region. This suggests that radiographs not only miss scaphoid but also many other carpal and distal radius fractures. Solutions should be found to solve this problem and probably advanced imaging techniques like CT, MRI or bone scintigraphy should be used in the correct clinical scenario.展开更多
