Patellar tendon reconstruction using a free latissimus dorsi flap following resection of a prepatellar myxofibrosarcoma: case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND: The distal lower extremity poses unique reconstructive challenges due to its requirements for durability of the load-bearing plantar surface and for thin, pliable contour in the dorsal foot and ankle region. This study compares outcomes between muscle and fasciocutaneous flaps in patients with foot and ankl...

abstract：BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of craniofacial bone defects is a primary focus of craniofacial surgery. Although autogenous bone grafts remain as the gold standard, alloplastic materials have also gained widespread popularity due to their off-the-shelf availability, ease of use, and durability. In addition to replacing the...
