Toe pulp reconstruction requires a sensory flap as low-invasive as possible with excellent sensory restoration, texture, feel, and shear property. This method is considered as one of the low-invasive, aesthetic, and functional reconstruction methods.Distal thumb injuries are common in high construction load regions, and it is a challenging task for the plastic surgeon to find the optimum choice that preserves thumb length and provides a sensory substitute to the lost tissue. Introducing first dorsal metacarpal artery flap has solved the dilemma. One drawback is that the flap is susceptible to distal necrosis, which can happen because of tight tunneling or insufficient venous drainage. We combined Foucher and Holevich characteristics to design a flap that promises to solve the problem. This is a case series that includes 9 patients where we describe a technique that has the potential to enhance the survival of the first dorsal metacarpal artery (FDMA) flap and decreases the rate of distal necrosis via addition of a 5-mm skin bridge to the pedicle and by avoiding tunneling. Distal necrosis of the patients in this study patients was compared with that in a control of 10 patients in whom we did the conventional FDMA flap. Patients were followed for 6 weeks to trace early postoperative complications (infection, dehiscence, and necrosis) and the establishment of protective sensation (pain and temperature). None of our patients had distal necrosis, infection, or dehiscence, and all had protective sensation in the flap. In comparison, 4 patients in the control group developed distal necrosis. FDMA is one of the best choices when it comes to distal thumb reconstruction, but it has the disadvantage of distal necrosis, which might be avoided when using the technique mentioned in this study.

Autologous breast reconstruction provides the benefits of excellent longterm results, natural appearance, natural feel, and the best opportunity for sensory restoration. These factors lead many patients to choose autologous tissue over implant-based reconstruction. With improved anatomic and technical knowledge, the donor site morbidity previously associated with abdominally based autologous reconstruction has been significantly reduced. Today, the DIEP flap is the preferred autologous method allowing restoration of a "natural," aesthetic breast with potential for sensation while simultaneously minimizing abdominal donor site morbidity. Alternative flaps and adjunctive procedures provide options when dealing with patients who present with challenging clinical scenarios because of an inadequate abdominal donor site. This paper reviews current methods employed by a high volume breast reconstruction practice to achieve these goals.Recently, better outcomes have been reported when up-to-date developments in flexor tendon surgery and therapy were followed. Slightly tensioned multistrand repairs, judicious venting of pulleys, and early active motion are widely accepted principles. In addition to these principles, tailoring of the repair according to intraoperative active movement with wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgical setting is recommended for better results. Salvianolic acid B in vivo We aimed to describe our up-to-date approach to flexor tendon surgery and therapy with the help of visual communication tools of this age. The ideal primary repair of flexor tendons, the management of delayed presentation flexor tendon injuries, the key steps to achieve better results with flexor tendon therapy, and the tele-rehabilitation experience during COVID-19 pandemic will be highlighted.
