We describe a rare case of ectopic papillary thyroid cancer in the thyroglossal duct tract invading the floor-of-mouth musculature. The postablative defect was reconstructed with a bone-anchored tensor fascia lata graft to resuspend the floor of mouth to the mandible as a neogeniohyoid sling, enabling maintenance of a functional tongue position for normal speech and swallowing. This reconstruction should be considered when suprahyoid musculature is resected without breaching the oral lining.

Trauma Case

SummaryThis report documents a complicated trauma case in a dog that was successfully managed by substitution of a missing patellar ligament with an autogenous tensor fascia lata free graft. Important to the success of the case was the use of a careful postoperative regime of progressive controlled mobilization with the aid of the hinged transarticular external skeletal fixator. Because of the advantages provided by use of the autogenous tensor fascia lata graft and the hinged transarticular external skeletal fixator, patient morbidity was low and the end result was good.An autogenous tensor fascia lata free graft was successfully used to completely substitute for a missing patellar ligament in a dog. Postoperative rehabilitation was facilitated by the use of the hinged transarticular external skeletal fixator. The technique is described along with the results. Complete substitution of the patellar ligament with a graft has not been reported in the dog.

Sliding Technique

Equinus deformity is a condition in which dorsiflexion movement of the ankle joint is limited or decreased. Equinus deformity arises due to contracture/shortening/tightening in achilles tendon or soleus muscles or gastrocnemius muscle. The lengthening procedure of the achilles tendon can be done by various techniques such as the open or percutaneous method and Z-plasty versus sliding technique. Here we reported a case of post-traumatic equinus deformity of the right foot. The patient’s dorsiflexion movement was restricted. In this case, the patient was operated for open Z-plasty of the achilles tendon with rollover tensor fascia lata graft for lengthening of the contracted achilles tendon. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day uneventfully. After 7 months of follow-up, the patient was walking normally without limping with the full range of motion at the right ankle joint as similar to his left ankle joint.

Posterior Hip Dislocation

Untreated traumatic hip dislocation is a rare condition in children. Capsular arthroplasty is a previously abandoned surgical technique in dealing with developmental dysplasia of the hips but not described in traumatic dislocations. We present a 2-year follow-up of a 7-year-old boy who sustained chronic traumatic posterior hip dislocation treated as a first case in published literature combining a modified version of the Codivilla-Hey Groves-Colonna procedure, using tensor fascia lata graft and application of a hinged Ilizarov frame. The patient is currently independent on all activities of daily living.

Abstract BACKGROUND Fascia lata remains a popular and robust graft to repair osteodural defects in endoscopic neurosurgery. Classically, this graft is obtained via a large incision in the thigh that is prone to pain and muscle herniation after surgery. OBJECTIVE To present a novel technique for harvesting fat and fascia lata graft and reapproximating the edges via an endoscopic approach through the thigh using an “outside-in” technique to prevent muscle herniation. METHODS Initially our technique was performed in cadavers and includes the following: small 2 cm incision in the lateral thigh to accommodate the endoscope, use of blunt dissection and endoscopic tools to obtain the graft, and reapproximation of the fascia via an outside-in technique using conventional sutures with endoscopic visualization to retrieve the sutures beneath the skin and tie them. We then applied the technique to a patient undergoing transsphenoidal tumor resection. RESULTS This technique was trialed in 3 cadaver specimens (6 limbs) and was used successfully in a patient with excellent cosmetic results seen in follow-up. CONCLUSION Endoscopic retrieval of fascia lata is feasible via a very small incision. Reapproximation of the cut fascial edges to minimize muscle herniation can quickly and easily be performed with an outside-in technique detailed here. Additional case series may help to solidify the endoscopic retrieval as a preferred technique for fascia lata graft.
