Comparing Outcomes for Fasciocutaneous versus Muscle Flaps in Foot and Ankle Free Flap Reconstruction.

abstract：:Multilayered tubes fabricated from human amnion were placed subcutaneously and/or longitudinally in contact with an axial artery and vein in rats. Histologic evaluation at the third postoperative week showed that the tubes had incorporated with the surrounding fibrovascular tissue. New capillary formation within the t...
