Abstract:
A 19 year old soldier suffered an explosion injury of the face. He lost the left cerebral hemisphere, the left eye and ear and the majority of the facial musculature on the left side. Primary surgery with rotational flap and mesh graft. Further local flaps and revision of wound area followed.

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
