Using microsurgical techniques discount toradol 10 mg free shipping pain medication for my dog, it is possible to transfer in a single surgical procedure the tissue necessary for optimal coverage of the exposed blood vessels, nerves, tendons, joints, or bones. This helps reduce the risk of deep infection and necrosis of the exposed soft tissue structures and facilitates early movement of the burned extremity. This is especially relevant for the treatment of patients who have suffered high-voltage electrical burns of the upper limbs. Coverage of the burned hand requires the use of tissues that are not very thick. The existence of this with a fascial component in the flap that allows sliding of the exposed deep structures is another advantage of free flaps. The free radial fasciocutaneous flap, described by Yang in 1981, provides excellent coverage with a thin, pliable tissue with a fascial component on its deep surface. Its vascular pedicle is constant, of large caliber, and has supplementary drainage through the superfi- cial veins of the forearm. This type of flap is contraindicated when the Allen test shows insufficient vascular supply from the cubital system and the posterior interosseous of the hand [26,47] or when the skin of the donor region of the forearm has been burned. We do not reconstruct the radial artery after extracting the flap, and we have not observed any case of poor perfusion of the hand of the donor extremity. In occasional cases, scarring of the flap donor area is delayed, with partial losses of the cutaneous graft; it is usually sufficient to administer topical treatment alone to promote wound closure. For a detailed description of the anatomy and steps of operation for extraction of this flap and those to follow, we refer the reader to the text on microsurgery by Dr. In Figure 6, we present an example of the use of the free radial fasciocutaneous flap for coverage using a single surgical procedure of a deep burn on the palm of the hand. The functional results in the long term were excellent, with stable and sensitive coverage. Of the free muscular flaps, the free flap of the anterior serratus muscle, described simultaneously in 1982 by Buncke and by Takayanagi, provides great plasticity and a constant vascular pedicle of good size and length. When covered with a cutaneous graft, stable and long-lasting coverage is achieved. We use the last three muscular digitations for coverage of hand burn injuries that are not very extensive and that require coverage with high vascular density per gram of tissue supplied. They are especially indicated for coverage of high-voltage electrical burn wounds of the wrist, which may sometimes be corrected in associa- tion with nerve grafts in the same procedure (Fig. We emphasize the technical difficulties we often encounter when dissecting out the vascular pedicle from the bifurcation of the branch of the serratus and its entrance into the digitations we are going to transfer. A B FIGURE 6 Free radial flap for coverage of a hand with a full-thickness burn from contact with a hot solid. There are osseous lesions at the second metacarpal bone and affecting the palmar arch. Excellent functional results: stable and sensitive coverage 2 years after the accident following only one surgical procedure (A, B). A segment of the median nerve has been excised, and a sural nerve graft placed. To cover large burn injuries of the upper extremity, we use a free flap of the latissimus dorsi muscle covered by a cutaneous graft. Described by Maxwell in 1978, this flap is still in common use today due to its versatility, accessibility, and ability to provide filling and coverage for large injuries. The vascular system of the donor area is also from the subscapular–thoracodorsal artery (Fig. The free temporal fascia flap, first described by Smith in 1979, is based on the axis of the superficial temporal arteries and veins and allows coverage of burn injuries on the dorsal surface of the digits and hand. It provides well-vascu- larized coverage that is extremely thin and flexible and leaves a barely visible cosmetic defect on the scalp. The transferred temporal fascia, which easily allows a partial-thickness cutaneous graft, permits sliding of the deep structures of the digits and hand. A second surgical procedure is occasionally necessary to separate the syndactylized digits (Fig. OTHER PROCEDURES Placing the affected extremity in an elevated position, avoiding articular con- tractures with proper splinting, and limiting movement with proper therapy are crucial for the prevention of hand burn sequelae.
Photographs buy 10mg toradol with mastercard sciatic nerve pain treatment exercises, micrographs, and patient records are often essential for explaining the results. Many graphics will need to be professionally produced so that any subtle nuances of colour are not lost in the translation to black and white publishing. Some journals will publish coloured photographic images but this is usually at a significant cost to the authors. For most graphics, a scale calibration is needed to interpret the magnitude of the picture and for the comparison of different images. As with tables, figures should be printed on separate pages and included at the end of the manuscript. Unlike tables, the 81 Scientific Writing figure titles, or legends as they are known, are usually listed on a separate page under the heading “Legends to figures”. Editors require that you do this rather than copy electronic figures into the text because it helps to facilitate the typesetting processes. Statistics The experts assure us that farm incomes, on average, are rising. It must be marvellous to sit in an office where you can hear the surf pounding or the flight path overhead and factor in a great winery or booming feedlot with a small rural business or a community on the dole, and get such a reassuring average. Jean Kitson (writing on statistics used by politicians, Sydney Morning Herald, 2000) To avoid bias in your results, it is essential to use the correct statistical tests. The best time to consult a statistician is at an early point in planning your study and not once the data analyses have begun. Statisticians can prevent you from wasting many hours in analysing data in the wrong way and reaching conclusions that are not justified. A statistician can also help to guide you through the processes of dividing your data into outcome or explanatory variables, framing analyses to answer your study questions, choosing the correct statistical test to use, and interpreting the results. In describing the way in which your data are distributed, you must use the correct measures of central tendency. If the data are normally distributed, the mean is the number to use, but if your data are not normally distributed, the mean will largely underestimate or overestimate the centre of the data depending on the direction of skewness and the standard deviation will be a very inaccurate measure of spread. In figures and tables, you must always explain whether you are using the standard deviation (SD) as a measure of spread, or the standard error (SE) or 95% confidence intervals as a measure of precision. In general, standard deviations are the correct measurement to describe baseline characteristics, and confidence intervals are the correct measurement to describe precision and assess differences between study groups. Definitions Central tendency Mean (average) Measure of the centre of the data (Σx/n) Median (centre) The point at which half the measurements lie below and half lie above. Median = observation at the middle of the ranked data Spread Standard deviation (SD) 95% of the measurements lie within two standard deviations above and below the mean SD = √ variance Variance =Σ(x − x)2/n − 1 i Range Lowest and highest value Calculate by ranking measurements in order Interquartile range Range of 25th to 75th percentiles Calculate by ranking measurements in order Precision Standard error (SE) Estimate of the accuracy of the calculated mean value SE = SD/√n 95% confidence Interval in which we are 95% certain interval (CI) that the “true” mean lies 95% CI = mean ± (SE × 1·96) important always to use the abbreviation SD, SE, or CI to define which statistic you are presenting and to avoid using an ambiguous ± or +/− sign. The definitions of some commonly used statistical terms are shown in Table 3. Many researchers choose to use the standard error either as a measure of distribution or as an error bar in figures. However, the standard error is not a descriptive statistic and must not be used as such. Because the standard error is smaller than the standard deviation and approximately half the size of the 95% confidence interval, it suggests that there is much less variability and much more precision than actually exists. In tables, put P = 0·043 not P < 0·05, and use P = 0·13 not “NS” for indicating a lack of statistical significance. This gives your readers the opportunity to evaluate the magnitude of the P value in relation to the size of your study and the difference between groups that you found. Describing the P value as “NS” or “P > 0·05” can be misleading if the actual value is marginal, say 0·07, but the difference between groups is clinically important. Giving the exact value allows readers to make their own judgements about whether it is possible that a type I or type II error has occurred. It is certainly a good idea to reserve P values and significance testing for only what you absolutely need to test. This will exclude the significance testing of baseline characteristics in randomised controlled trials. It will also exclude testing for differences between groups when the 95% confidence intervals tell the whole story. The question of whether you should test hypotheses that were not formed prior to undertaking the study is contentious. One golden rule is never to test a hypothesis that does not have biological plausibility.
