We present a case of compartment syndrome after electromyographic study of the upper limbs. The cause was the unintentional punction and laceration of the ulnar artery while the electromyography was being performed.

We present the case of a 19-year-old female who suffered traumatic avulsion of the entire scalp while working with textile industrial machinery and present a pertinent review of the anatomy of the scalp.

The employment of adipose tissue in cosmetic procedures is well stablished, nevertheless the usual methods have their disadvantages. There is evidence that stem cells contained within adipose tissue can successfully be used in cosmetic practices. This paper emphasizes in a new developed technique that optimizes a unique and highly innovative adipogenic growth factor “cocktail”, described further in the article, that promotes subsequent engraftment upon transplantation and that induces adipogenic differentiation with great efciency. This technique was employed for a facelift procedure, performed in six steps with signicant results in skin quality improvement, volume data and patient satisfaction. This was demonstrated on patients with acne scars or even burn scars, or for rejuvenation purposes.

With the understanding of the extensive vascular supply of the subcutaneous tissue, of its efficacy in the protection of the anatomical structures and of its capability of promoting the adequate functioning of very stressed regions of the human body, the use of subcutaneous adipose flaps has become a valid and sometimes the only reasonable therapeutic weapon in the treatment of small and medium-sized tissue loss. Such a defect represents a common complication of great toe injuries and surgery. Here subcutaneous flap reconstruction is proposed for the treatment of dorsal and medial soft tissue losses of the hallux complicated with infection. Two case are reported. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this application has not been reported in this anatomical site so far. The technique might be worth knowing both for orthopedic and plastic surgeons, as it may represent a safe, less invasive solution for most tegumentary problems of the dorso-medial side of the first ray.
