Potentialities of Plastic and Reconstructive Microsurgery in Treatment of Patients with Pathology of Large Joints of Extremities

Potentialities of reconstructive and plastic microsurgery in patients with different pathology of large joints of the extremities were studied. Results of 265 microsurgical operations with pedicle flap (65.7%) and free tissue (34.3%) grafting were assessed. It was shown that use of microsurgical techniques provided reconstruction of full value para-articular soft tissues, increased range of joint movement and created the conditions for effective arrest of local inflammatory process. Besides, they possessed potentialities for the performance and increase of the efficacy in arthroplasty and some other high technology operations on large joints. The more distally the joint is located the higher is the need in reconstructive-plastic microsurgical operations and free tissue grafting on upper and lower extremities.

Chapter 44 discusses osteoarthritis (OA) of the upper and lower extremity joints. Imaging plays an increasingly important role in understanding the disease process of OA of the upper and lower extremities. Radiography is the gold standard in OA imaging and is used for establishing the diagnosis and grading disease severity. Radiography can visualize features of OA, such as osteophytes and joint-space narrowing. MRI can image all relevant osseous and soft tissues within the joints and enables visualization of cartilage morphology and composition.

Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon vascular neoplasm which occurs rarely in the head and neck and has an unpredictable clinical behaviour. It is characterized by round or spindle-shaped endothelial cells with cytoplasmic vacuolation. Most often, EHE arises from the soft tissues of the upper and lower extremities, and it has borderline malignant potential. We describe the first reported case of EHE in the parapharyngeal space, which was treated successfully via a transcervical–transparotid approach (following angiography with embolization), without massive intra-operative bleeding or facial nerve damage.
