Digital finger amputation with soft tissue injury is a frequent accident in Reconstructive Surgery. Several techniques about reconstruction of digital finger amputation are described in literature. However replantation is difficult when large segments of the arteries are missing. This is especially true for distal finger phalanx amputations, where replantation is done in selected patients such as artists or musicians. In this article a microsurgical replantation techniques of a distal artery and proximal vein anastomosis is presented in a distal phalanx amputation, which successfully solved the problem of venous reflux without venous anastomosis.

A taxonomically unique bacterial strain,Acinetobactersp. A47, has been recovered from several soft tissue samples from a patient undergoing reconstructive surgery owing to a traumatic amputation. The results of 16S rRNA,rpoB, andgyrBgene comparative sequence analyses showed that A47 does not belong to any of the hitherto-known taxa and may represent an as-yet-unknownAcinetobacterspecies. The recognition of this novel organism contributes to our knowledge of the taxonomic complexity underlying infections caused byAcinetobacter.

Skateboard-riding has become increasingly popular among Hawaii's children. The thrill of the ride and the challenge of keeping one's balance and working intricate maneuvers while speeding down a hill captures the fancy of many of our young. This sport, however, has produced an alarmingly high toll of injury and illness. Pediatricians and emergency departments of our major hospitals have seen and taken care of large numbers of patients (aged between 3 years and 35 years, but with a distribution overwhelmingly pediatric) with significant injuries which include cerebral concussion, fractures, soft tissue injuries of varying degrees of severity and complications, and injury to internal organs. During a three-month period at the Kauikeolani Children's Hospital, July to August 1975, there were 16 patients admitted with the following: seven cerebral concussions, one skull fracture, five assorted bone fractures, one soft tissue injury and infection, one retroperitoneal hemorrhage, and one instance of major surgery for removal of the spleen. During the months of August and September 1975 the Emergency Department of Straub Clinic reported the following skateboard injuries: 14 fractures, 14 soft tissue injuries, 5 lacerations, and 2 cerebral concussions. Of the 35 patients seen, three were admitted—one with an open fracture, one with cerebral concussion, and one with a skull fracture. During a four-week period (two weeks in June and July and two weeks in August and September) at the Emergency Department of Kaiser Medical Center, 66 cases of skateboard injuries were seen with six patients requiring admission for fractures and brain concussion.

AbstractSoft tissue trauma to the face is challenging to manage due to functional and aesthetic concerns. Management requires careful regional considerations to maintain function such as visual fields and oral competence in periorbital and perioral injuries, respectively. Basic wound management principles apply to facial soft tissue injuries including copious irrigation and tension-free closure. There is no consensus and high-level evidence for antibiotic prophylaxis especially in various bite injuries. Ballistic injuries and other mechanisms are briefly reviewed. Scar revision for soft tissue injuries can require multiple procedures and interventions. Surgery as well as office procedures such as resurfacing with lasers can be employed and will be reviewed.
