Displaced calcaneal fractures encompass a spectrum of fracture patterns, many of which are associated with soft tissue complications. Displaced tongue-type calcaneal fractures often cause pressure on the posterior heel skin, particularly when treatment is delayed. Resultant partial- or full-thickness skin necrosis presents significant challenges to the treating surgeon. In this article, the authors report on a case of full-thickness skin necrosis associated with a displaced tongue-type calcaneus fracture. The authors describe the use of a specialized heel window casting technique, which eliminates posterior heel pressure and greatly facilitates soft tissue surveillance and local wound care. The article also reviews the literature on soft tissue complications associated with displaced calcaneus fractures.

SummaryThis report documents an anomalous blood supply to an omocervical free skin flap in a dog. Consideration of this anomaly should be taken into account when harvesting this skin flap to prevent inadvertent injury to its blood supply.An omocervical free skin flap, which had an anomalous pathway of its vascular pedicle, was used to cover a full-thickness skin wound on the front limb. This vascular anomaly has not been reported in the dog.
