Principles for Achieving Predictable Outcomes in Flexor Tendon Repair
Flexor tendon injuries require surgical repair. Early repair is optimal, but staged repair may be indicated for delayed presentations. Zone II flexor tendon injuries are the most difficult to achieve acceptable outcomes and require special attention for appropriate repair. Surgical techniques to repair flexor tendons have evolved over the past several decades and principles include core strand repair using at least a 4 strand technique, epitendinous suture to add strength and gliding properties, and pulley venting. Early postoperative active range of motion within the first 3 to 5 days of surgery is essential for optimiz...

Fat Grafting and Regenerative Medicine in Burn Care
Regenerative therapies such as fat grafting and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) have emerged as new options to tackle burn-related injuries and their long-term sequelae. Fat grafting is able to promote wound healing by regulating the inflammatory response, stimulating angiogenesis, favoring the remodeling of the extracellular matrix, and enhancing scar appearance. PRP can enhance wound healing by accelerating stages including hemostasis and re-epithelization. It can improve scar quality and complement fat grafting procedures. Their cost-effectiveness, minimal invasiveness, and promising results observed in the literature have m...
