The 2 groups were compared with each other regarding the union obtained (primary or secondary), limb alignment, and AOFAS scores (Tables 1 and 2).
Stroke survivors with spasticity often experience secondary limb deformities, physical disability, and pain that limits their ability to perform basic activities of daily living, such as holding or picking up objects, self-care, and ambulation.
A protocol of prevention was identified of secondary limb lymphedema that included, from the diagnostic point of view, lymphoscintigraphy and, as concerns therapy, it also recognized the role of early microsurgery.
For example, whereas krc mutants show polydactyly associated with duplication of the first digit, our mutants show preaxial digit duplication characterized by mirror symmetric duplication of a secondary limb anterior-posterior axis.
Postoperative complications; 5- and 10-year primary, secondary, and limb salvage rates; and factors influencing short- and long-term results were assessed.
Taken into consideration the treatment modalities that we applied into our study population and the consequent problems in these cases, it should be remembered that such complications secondary to limb salvage surgery may, in long-term, lead to serious problems once survival ensues in these growing children.
Similar to snakes, they have an elongated trunk and have undergone secondary loss of limbs.
Our study included twenty-one patients operated on between 2006 and 2013 in our Department of Reconstructive Microsurgery by means of perforator-based propeller flaps for the reconstruction of loss of substance of limbs secondary to trauma or tumor excision.
Self-mutilation behavior was defined as excessive mouthing of or biting of any part of the affected limb, and/or loss of any parts of the affected limb secondary to biting and infection.
