Indications, results and complications in connection with free vascularized bone transplants for extremity preservation.

A report is presented on 5 years experience with 33 cases of free vascularized bone transplants for extremity preservation. The indications, results and complications will be demonstrated. The successful results so far were achieved not only by careful indications but by virtue of a strict postoperative treatment scheme extending from direct postoperative blood-flow monitoring through the raising of a skin flap and angiographic control of anastomosis patency to immobilisation/mobilisation and orthotic management.

Aspergillosis with Aspergillus osteomyelitis and diskitis after heart transplantation: surgical and medical management.

This is the report of a 49-year-old man, who could be cured of aspergillosis with Aspergillus osteomyelitis and diskitis of the lumbar spine by medical and surgical therapy after heart retransplantation. Aspergillus osteomyelitis and diskitis is a rare complication of invasive aspergillosis. Lumbar involvement is the main manifestation, followed by rare locations in the tibia, ribs, wrist, sternum, pelvis, and knee. It is nearly always secondary to pulmonary aspergillosis, which occurs in about 6% to 14% of patients after heart transplantation. For treatment, a combined surgical and medical approach is recommended, which enables quick pain relief for the patient and histologic and microbiologic diagnosis and stabilization of the spine. Because of definitive cure of osteomyelitis cannot be guaranteed by removal of the abscess, medical therapy after surgery is necessary for years.
