Contracture of the adductor pollicis and the first dorsal interosseous muscles.

Trauma, infection, local injections and even acupuncture may cause fibrosis of the muscles of the first web space of the hand, leading to severe malposition and loss of function of the thumb and index finger. The authors present the anatomical basis for the deformity and the results of surgical treatment by tenotomy or tendon lengthening in 120 hands in 79 patients. Operation produced an excellent result in the majority of cases and the outcome was independent of the severity of the deformity or the duration of the condition.

An experimental model for lymphedema in rabbit ear.

A simple, inexpensive method for producing an experimental model for lymphedema in rabbit ear is described. In 47 of 50 rabbit ears, the lymphedema could be demonstrated by measurement of ear thickness, water displacement, skin thickness, diameter of lymphatics, and histopathology of the experimental ear. Three rabbit ears failed because of technical reasons. In studying the findings of experimental lymphedema, some clinical phenomena are explained and modifications of the operative procedure of microlymphaticovenous anastomosis for treating lymphedema are suggested.

Microvascular free transfer of iliac bone based on the deep circumflex iliac vessels.

The findings from dissections, injection studies, and angiograms of 180 specimens of the anterior portion of left and right iliac crests taken from 90 cadavers are reported. These findings suggested that the deep circumflex iliac vessels were suitable for use as a nutritive pedicle in microvascular free transfer of iliac bone. Therefore, the technique of microvascular free transfer of iliac bone based on these vessels was developed and applied clinically in 2 cases with good results. The advantages and disadvantages of using the superficial circumflex iliac vessels or the deep circumflex iliac vessels as the vascular pedicle for iliac grafts also are discussed.
