The aim of this study was to test the ex vivo biomechanical properties of acutely expanded scalp flaps to quantitatively assess the efficacy of acute scalp expansion. A total of 14 fresh male cadavers were used for the study. In each cadaver, a rectangular (4 x 10 cm), laterally based flap was designed on each side of the scalp, starting from...

The aim of this article is to present two new techniques for digital flexor tendon repair: a modification to the conventional Kessler technique (wrap core suture) and tendon splints (H-shaped splint). These techniques were aimed at enhancing the biomechanical properties of such repairs as related to resistance to both gap formation and repair...
