The Authors discuss their experience with the use of various flaps (radial artery, groin and abdomen) in the primary or delayed cover of skin defect in the hand, in a total number of 20 cases. All the three types of flaps took up well in 3-4 weeks with minimal complications. The Authors preferred the radial artery flap to the groin and abdominal flaps, in that order.
A case of orbitofrontal fibrous dysplasia with optic canal involvement is reported. Surgical excision of the mass with unroofing of the optic canal followed by orbito-cranian reconstruction by methyl methacrylate gave excellent results.

Adaptive shortening of long flexors (ASLF) is a consequence of long-standing neglected claw finger deformity. While adaptive shortening of muscle fibres is correctable by physiotherapy, concurrent shortening of fascia/aponeurosis/intermuscular septum, composed of inelastic collagen fibres is not. Surgical excision of these structures has been advised in ASLF in cerebral palsy. This procedure in which a 3-4 cm wide band of deep fascia of the forearm, about 6 cm distal to the medial epicondyle, along with the intermuscular septum is excised was tried in seven patients having severe or moderately severe ASLF with good results. This procedure is worth a more extensive trial.
