Acute compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency in the extremities resulting from increased compartmental pressure, requiring immediate fasciotomy to resolve muscular compromise. As the mainstay tr...
Our primary objective was to identify if fasciotomy was associated with increased mortality in patients who developed acute compartment syndrome (ACS) on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (...
Despite several technical modifications to further reduce donor invasiveness in harvesting deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps, techniques with general applicability and demonstrating cli...
A retrospective study was conducted with 304 consecutive patients who underwent DIEP flap-based breast reconstruction. A total of 180 patients underwent the conventional technique between October of 2...
The short-fasciotomy technique was successfully adapted for all patients in cohort 2, regardless of length of intramuscular course and number of harvested perforators, with no case requiring conversio...
The short-fasciotomy technique allows for less invasive DIEP flap harvest regardless of anatomical variability. It provides reliable outcomes with minimal functional donor-site morbidity....

Describe the demographic, injury-related, treatment-related, and outcome-related characteristics of patients who undergo fasciotomies for acute upper arm compartment syndrome (ACS)....
From January 1, 2006, to June 30, 2015, 438 patients with a diagnosis code of upper extremity (including hand, forearm, arm, and shoulder) compartment syndrome at two tertiary care centers were identi...
The mean age of our cohort was 52 years, and 73% were male. The most common mechanisms of injury were blunt trauma (20%), vascular injury (20%), oncologic resection (13%), and infection related to int...
Upper arm ACS is a potentially devastating condition that can be seen after blunt trauma, vascular injury, oncologic resection, and intravenous drug use. Clinicians should have high suspicion in cases...
Dupuytren's disease often leads to an increasing limitation in finger extension in affected patients. As the incidence rises with age, the number of cases is expected to rise in the future due to the ...
Overall, 65 fingers of 40 patients were treated with PNF. We evaluated the total passive deficit of extension (TPED), the passive deficit of extension of the joints (PED), the Buck-Gramcko score, rate...
Directly after the PNF, extension in the treated fingers improved significantly (TPED before PNF 74,6°±41,1 SD to 32,8°±29,0 SD after the procedure). By the time of the follow-up examination (30,2±13,...
Although it is associated with a relatively high recurrence rate, PNF represents an effective and patient-oriented treatment of Dupuytren's contracture....
The shoelace technique for compartment syndrome allows application of sustained tightening tension to an entire wound and intermittent tightening of the shoelace without requiring its replacement or a...
We targeted 25 patients who were diagnosed as having compartment syndrome and underwent extremity fasciotomy at our hospital from April 2012 to December 2021. The N group, comprising 12 patients treat...
There were no significant differences between the two groups in patient background. Compared with the N group patients, all of the S group patients avoided skin grafting (S group: n = 0, 0%; N group: ...
We considered the shoelace technique to be a useful wound closure method for fasciotomy wounds caused by compartment syndrome because it can significantly reduce the need for skin grafting and tends t...
The lifetime risk of plantar fasciitis is 10%, and operative treatment in the form of endoscopic partial plantar fascia release are often performed in cases refractory for nonsurgical treatment. The e...
This is a prospective, observational study of 25 patients with plantar fasciitis, for a minimum of 3 months, verified by ultrasonographic scanning, who had endoscopic partial fasciotomy. A bony spur w...
Foot length increased 0.17 cm (...
There were minimal changes in the measured foot morphologic and functional properties at 1-year follow-up, after endoscopic partial plantar fascia release....

We estimated retreatment risk following limited fasciectomy (LF) or percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) for Dupuytren's disease....
Prospective cohort study....
Using frailty models, we estimated retreatment risk within 1,3,5,10 and 20 years....
LF showed a 10-year retreatment risk of 8% (95%CI: 3-13%) for men and 4% (95%CI: 1-8%) for women without an affected first-degree relative, initially treated at 60 years. PNF showed higher risks at 69...
LF gives a longer-lasting treatment effect than PNF....
Fasciotomy can increase the mobility of the superficial femoral artery and decrease the incidence of stent fractures. This study aimed to compare the long-term patency of drug-eluting nitinol stents w...
A randomized clinical trial was conducted in 60 (1:1) patients with long femoropopliteal steno-occlusive lesions >200 mm. Patients in group 1 (Zilver) underwent recanalization of femoropopliteal arter...
Twelve-month primary patency in Zilver and ZilverFas groups was 51% and 80%, respectively (P = 0.02). The freedom from target lesion revascularization in the Zilver and ZilverFas groups was 50% and 76...
Our study has shown that decompressing the stented segment with fasciotomy significantly improves the patency of the femoropopliteal segment and significantly reduces the number and severity of stent ...
Chronic exertional forearm compartment syndrome is observed in patients who engage in physical activity requiring repetitive isometric muscular effort of the wrist during prolonged grasping. Open fasc...
Surgery consisted in ultrasound-guided palmar fasciotomy of the superficial anterior compartment, using a single minimally invasive approach. Twenty forearms were then dissected by an independent oper...
Sixteen fasciotomies were total and 4 partial: i.e., a release rate of 80%. The superficial sensory branches were intact, and notably the branches of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm. Mean su...
Ultrasound-guided fasciotomy in the management of chronic exertional forearm compartment syndrome appears to be a simple, effective, safe and reproducible technique....
