Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap Reconstruction of the Upper Extremity
This article offers a detailed exploration of the SCIP flap design and technique, its advantages over traditional methods, and its potential applications in reconstructive surgery. Post-operative care and critical points are also discussed, and case examples are provided to guide readers through the intricacies of the technique, emphasizing the surgical skill and precision required for successful implementation.

The Role of Microsurgery in Coverage of Defects of the Hand
Soft tissue defects of the hand may result from trauma, infection, vascular disease, and after resection of tumors. Microsurgery has evolved to a stage where it is relatively commonplace today but procedures such as free flaps still incur significant time, manpower, cost, and material resources. The aim of this article is to articulate the specific situations in hand reconstruction when microsurgery is superior to nonmicrosurgical reconstructive options. The benefits of microsurgical reconstruction include a variety of important metrics, such as improved function, better tissue match, less donor site morbidity, and reduced...

Thin Profunda Artery Perforator Flap for Hand and Upper Extremity Coverage
The profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap provides a good option for hand and upper extremity reconstruction. The reliable quality, caliber, and number of perforators in the posteromedial thigh support large flaps with long pedicles. The PAP flap has been widely used for breast reconstruction, although its use in the extremities has been slower to catch on due to the bulk and thickness of the subcutaneous tissue. The authors discuss evolution of thin flaps and our application of the thin and superthin PAP flap for upper extremity reconstruction. (Source: Hand Clinics)

Surgical Treatment of Lymphedema in the Upper Extremity
The advent of supermicrosurgery has led to an increasing interest in the surgical management of lymphedema through the reconstruction of the lymphatic network, that is, the physiologic approach. Broadly, this can be divided into 2 main techniques: lymphaticovenous anastomosis and lymph node transfer. In the United Kingdom, the British Lymphology Society does not provide any recommendations on surgical management. Moreover, surgical treatment of lymphedema is not widely practiced within the National Health Service due to low-certainty evidence. Herein, we discuss our experience in physiologic reconstruction for lymphedema. ...

Bone Graft Substitutes —What Are My Options?
We examine the range of available bone graft substitutes often used in nonunion and malunion surgery of the upper extremity. Synthetic materials such as calcium sulfate, beta-calcium phosphate ceramics, hydroxyapatite, bioactive glass, and 3D printed materials are discussed. We delve into the advantages, disadvantages, and clinical applications for each, considering factors such as biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, mechanical strength, and resorption rates. This review provides upper extremity surgeons with insights into the available array of bone graft substitutes. We hope that the reviews helps in the decision-making...

Role of Three-Dimensional Guides in Management of Forearm and Wrist Malunions
Although its precise added value and cost-effectiveness need to be determined, three-dimensional (3D) planning and intraoperative guidance facilitate restoration of normal anatomy. The use of 3D computer planning and patient-specific intraoperative guides leads to more accurate and reproducible correction of forearm and wrist malunion. Its value augments with increasing complexity of deformities. Combined deformities and complex intra-articular malunions of the forearm and wrist benefit the most from the use of 3D techniques. New technical developments, including lower-dose scanning technology, software improvement, artifi...
