Pedicled cross-extremity flaps for lower limb wound coverage have been replaced by free tissue transfer in the last two decades. However, there are certain difficult situations where the free flap cannot be employed and alternative methods are needed. Delay is defined assurgical interruption of a portion of the blood supply in a preliminary stage prior to tissue transfer in the pedicled flap. We describe our experience with cross leg flap for the reconstruction of lower limb defect.

Low Level Laser Therapy has effect on cell proliferation, metabolism, angiogenesis, apoptosis and inflammation. This study is to assess the role of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in preventing abnormal scarring in scald burns.

Acute, rapid, and severe bone loss (ARSBL) and a high fracture rate exceed postmenopausal and age related osteoporosis in many bone illnesses. Drug induced systemic disorders, weakness, immobility, and the sickness dominate these situations. Examples include GIOP, post-transplantation bone disease, stroke, and acute spinal cord injury immobility. These disorders cause 8% spinal bone loss and 5% hip bone loss annually. Effective management can reverse bone loss. This review covers quick and severe bone loss causes.
