Use Of Botulinum Toxin A To Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Raynaud's Phenomenon., Thrisha K Potluri, Frank G Lee, Ethan Song, Sean J. Wallace Md, Nathan F. Miller Md

Department of Surgery

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a vasospastic disorder of the digital blood vessels leading to pain, paresthesias, and pallor in response to cold or stress. RP can develop secondary to a number of pathologies or factors, including the use of chemotherapy agents. Typical first-line therapies for secondary RP may be contraindicated in patients with certain comorbidities. Here, we discuss a case in which botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) was used to treat chemotherapy-induced RP in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We provide a review of the existing literature on the clinical course and treatment modalities, including the use of …


Simultaneous Bilateral Patellar Tendon Rupture In A Young Adult Male: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature., Adrian Moy, Ethan Song, Sean J. Wallace Md, Robert Teixeira Md, Daniel Torres Sep 2020

Simultaneous Bilateral Patellar Tendon Rupture In A Young Adult Male: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature., Adrian Moy, Ethan Song, Sean J. Wallace Md, Robert Teixeira Md, Daniel Torres

Department of Surgery

A bilateral patellar tendon rupture is extremely rare and has only been documented in case reports. Although the etiology remains unknown, predisposing factors include steroid usage, systemic diseases, and tendinopathies. In the present case, a healthy 33-year-old male with a prior history of bilateral patellar tendonitis and a diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter disease during adolescence experienced simultaneous bilateral patellar tendon rupture after playing volleyball. He underwent bilateral patellar repair without complications. In the absence of trauma, spontaneous bilateral patellar tendon ruptures are associated with several predisposing factors, including systemic diseases, prior corticosteroid or fluoroquinolone usage, and history of tendinopathy. Injuries can …

Cutaneous Carcinosarcoma: A Small Case Series And Review Of The Literature Of A Rare Skin Tumor., Ethan Y Song, Sean J. Wallace Md, Hina A. Sheikh, Randolph Wojcik Md, Chetan Nayak

Department of Surgery

Carcinosarcomas are composed of epithelial and mesenchymal elements and primarily present within visceral organs. Despite being potentially aggressive, they are a rare diagnosis in the skin, and few manifestations have been reported to date. In this report, we describe two separate cases of carcinosarcoma presenting as nonhealing scalp wounds. Patient A: a 57-year-old male with a nonhealing skin lesion of ten years successfully treated with wide-local excision and local ortichochea flap reconstruction. Patient B: a 75-year-old female that presented with a painless, slow-growing hemorrhagic mass of 7 years invading the skull and dura ultimately requiring craniectomy and free-tissue transfer with …

Advanced Plastic Surgery Techniques For Soft Tissue Coverage Of The Diabetic Foot., Thomas Zgonis, John Stapleton, Thomas S Roukis Feb 2015

Advanced Plastic Surgery Techniques For Soft Tissue Coverage Of The Diabetic Foot., Thomas Zgonis, John Stapleton, Thomas S Roukis

John J Stapleton DPM, FACFAS

Obtaining stable, durable, and functional wound closure of a diabetic foot wound or open pedal amputation through plastic surgical techniques is essential to limit the potential for repeated ulceration, infection, and "supra-pedal" amputation. Myriad conservative and surgical techniques can be used to obtain wound closure. The authors discuss their approach and present operative pearls for their most commonly employed plastic surgical techniques to provide adequate soft tissue coverage of diabetic foot wounds. Emphasis is placed on the techniques necessary to perform these procedures and the surgical thought process involved in closing diabetic foot wounds.


A Case Report Of A Double Advancement Flap Closure Combined With An Ilizarov Technique For The Chronic Plantar Forefoot Ulceration., Ronald Belczyk, John Stapleton, Thomas Zgonis Feb 2015

A Case Report Of A Double Advancement Flap Closure Combined With An Ilizarov Technique For The Chronic Plantar Forefoot Ulceration., Ronald Belczyk, John Stapleton, Thomas Zgonis

John J Stapleton DPM, FACFAS

Soft tissue closure of defects on the plantar surface of the foot continues to be a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon secondarily to the limited number of surgical options and often difficulty of replacing durable and similar soft tissue coverage. Primary closure and skin grafting may not be suitable for the weight-bearing surfaces of the plantar forefoot area, and closure may then be obtained by other means of plastic surgery techniques.

Prefabrication Of A Secondary Tram Flap., Geoffrey G. Hallock Md May 1996

Prefabrication Of A Secondary Tram Flap., Geoffrey G. Hallock Md

Department of Surgery

A secondary TRAM flap was prefabricated in a rat model using the rectus muscle. The right rectus muscle was elevated as an inferiorly pedicled muscle flap in one experimental group (n = 6) and as a superiorly pedicled muscle flap in a second group (n = 5) and then sandwiched between a silicone sheet and the abdominal skin. Two weeks later, the abdominal skin and attached rectus muscle were elevated over the silicone sheet as a secondary TRAM flap. The surviving skin paddle areas of these prefabricated TRAM flaps were compared with superiorly (n = 7) and inferiorly (n = …
