[The nutrient flap. Its application in saving lower limbs involved in stage IV arteritis].

The skin covering role of the nutrient flap is only accessory. However, this role is essential for an ordinary flap. In stage IV arteriosclerosis of the lower limbs when classical revascularization techniques cannot be performed, the nutrient flap can be spread over the distal extremity of the limbs. It provides a supplementary blood flow to ischaemic zones and it induces the neoformation of a vascular network. The nutrient flap avoids the need for high amputation and preserves weight bearing by maintaining the heel. Four clinical cases are detailed and the surgical techniques are described. The flap usually raised from latissimus dorsi, is anastomosed to the popliteal artery by means of an inverted saphenous vein graft, and is spread over the extremity of the limb after a wide excision of all the necrotic tissues.

[Fibrous structures of the wrist. II. Biomechanical study].

Each fibrous structure of the wrist has been studied by elastometric methods. These lead to a classification superposable to the functional classification. They show up the big mechanical differences between to tendons and but to ligaments. The former are 3 to 5 times as solid, but 3 to times less extensible than the latter. These are divided into 3 groups the more fragile as much as they are stretchable. The aponeuroses have their place between tendons and ligaments, but their properties are very closer to the latter.

[Fibrous structures of the wrist. III. Microscopic study. Rheologic consequences].

Each fibrous structure of 10 wrists of fresh cadavers has been the subject of a study without preparation with the surgical microscope, then of an histological study. These have been compared with the elastometric study of the controlateral homologous structure. The diameter of the fascicles, the length and the amplitude of the undulations of the collagen fibers had shown particularly characteristic. The comparison between both series shows up the close relation between the mechanical properties and the architecture of the fascicles, which is also perfectly measurable. It shows up the big differences between ligaments and tendons. The histological study of the tendons and ligaments of 4 other wrists, submitted to manoeuvres of stretching, of rupture and of incurvation, reinforces these results. The therapeutic consequences are considered.

[Midline congenital fistulas of the nose. Fourteen cases (author's transl)].

The authors report 14 cases of midline congenital fistulas of the nose. Early diagnosis of the abnormality and its deep prolongations are necessary in order to avoid delayed presentation by infectious complications, which may be grave. Anteroposterior tomograms, in Gosserez view, in general provide precise information concerning the extent. In order to limit aesthetic problems, surgical treatment, without prejudice to total excision, should give preference to concealed transcolumellar incisions extended if necessary to the nostrils. This approach offers extensive manaeuvrability and makes it possible to perform a rhinoplasty if necessary.
