A case of bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with palmaris longus and FDS anomalies.

We report a case of bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome due to two distinct muscular anomalies coexisting with trigger finger deformity. Many muscular anomalies in association with carpal tunnel syndrome have been described so far. But such a unique case of bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with two different muscular anomalies, flexor digitorum superficialis anomaly on one side and palmaris longus anomaly on the other side has not been described. Even rare, muscular anomalies should be considered in the aetiology of carpal tunnel syndrome.

A comparison of the effects of Veau-Wardill-Kilner palatoplasty and furlow double-opposing Z-plasty operations on eustachian tube function.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Veau-Wardill-Kilner (VWK) two-flap palatoplasty and Furlow double-opposing Z-plasty operations on eustachian tube (ET) opening in patients with cleft palate (CP). DESIGN: Twenty-six patients underwent CP repair between 1993 and 1997. VWK and Furlow operations were used in 13 patients each. All patients were examined by the otorhinolaryngologist before and after the operations; mean follow-up time was 27.3 months. Secretory otitis media (SOM), as identified by tympanograms, was the comparison criterion used. RESULTS: The prevalence of SOM was 69% (n = 18) in all CP patients preoperatively. Among those with preoperative SOM, we did not find any statistically significant difference in the frequency of postoperative SOM between the two techniques. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that there is no difference in postoperative ET function between patients undergoing either VWK or Furlow operations, in spite of the differences in muscle positioning in these operations. We discuss the implications of this finding in relation to surgical anatomy and histology of the soft palate muscles.

[Reconstruction of the distal lower extremity defects with distal pedicled fasciocutaneous flaps].

Soft-tissue coverage of defects in the distal lower extremity has its limitations because of minimal blood supply to the skin and the thin muscle layer. Split-thickness skin grafting is impossible in cases of defects of tendons or bones. Local flaps are applicable only for smaller defects. With the cross-leg flaps, it is necessary to immobilize the patient for a long time. Special microsurgical technique and knowledge are needed for the free flaps. Fasciocutaneous flaps of the lower extremity after Donski and Fodgestam are simpler and safer than the other methods. From 1987 to 1992, this method was successfully used on 15 patients in the Department of Plastic Surgery of Sişli Etfal Hospital in Istanbul. In the two-thirds of those patients, accidents were the cause of the defects. The advantages of this methods are: simpler technique, larger flap-surface, earlier mobilisation of patients, better adaptation of the flap to its neighbourhood regarding colour and thickness.

[Results of silastic prosthesis for the semilunar bone in semilunar malacia].

In the hospital of Plastic surgery and Hand surgery in Eschweiler has been treated in the period from January 1980 to June 1983 23 patients with lunatomalacia. They were treated operatively by an interposition of a silastic prothesis by Swanson. A follow-up study was made on 21 out of 23 patients after a period of 6 to 46 months. The clinical and radiological examination has shown that 20 out of 21 patients were satisfied by the result.
