Arterial Embolus

Acute arterial occlusion may be caused by an embolus, thrombosis, or trauma. Vascular diseases can involve complications not limited to vascular-related areas and may require a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment. An overview of acute arterial occlusion is presented, as well as a case study of an atypical presentation of an arterial embolus of the lower extremity.

Degloving Injuries

Abstract Degloving, a skin and subcutis avulsion, is a severe traumatic injury sometimes caused by rolling wheels or machines. Although avulsed flaps are often readapted to its original site, most of these tissues become necrotic. Due to the extensive skin and soft tissue deficiency caused by necrosis, treatment becomes difficult. Skin grafts harvested from avulsed flaps may be used to treat degloving injuries, while negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is used to secure the grafts. Commonly used porous polyurethane foam wound fillers are difficult to set in circumferential extremity degloving injuries; gauze-based wound fillers are easier to use and cause less pain during dressing changes. We present a case of an extensive, full-circumference left lower-extremity degloving injury, treated using NPWT with gauze-based wound fillers for fixation of skin grafts harvested from avulsed flaps after hydrosurgical debridement. For complex wound geometries, gauze-based wound fillers can be easily applied for skin graft immobilization.
