[BACKGROUND] The external rotation and abduction of shoulder are considered one of the priorities of reconstruction in brachial plexus injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional results and complications of shoulder arthro…

[UNLABELLED] Lower trunk lesions are uncommon, representing about 3 to 5% of brachial plexus lesions in adults. One of the functions lost by patients who suffer this type of injury is the flexion of the fingers, with important harming of pa…

Free flaps in the pediatric population are less common and when indicated the expectations to avoid amputation are high. The objective of this study is to describe indications and results of free flaps for limb reconstruction. Patients unde…

 Advances in reconstructive microsurgery in orthopedic surgery provided better functional and aesthetic results and avoided many indications for amputation. In high-volume trauma and orthopedic hospitals, microsurgical reconstruction is ess…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical flaps are widely used to treat complex traumatic wounds of upper and lower limbs. Few studies have evaluated whether the vascular changes in preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) influence the selecti…

[OBJECTIVE] Brachial plexus injury can lead to significant functional deficit for the patient. Elbow flexion restoration is a priority in surgical treatment. Free functional muscle transfer is an option for early or late treatment failure. …

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate if the levels of serum total protein and serum albumin are risk factors for surgical complications of free flap limb reconstruction. [METHODS] Consecutive inclusion of all patients undergoing microsurgical flaps for…
