Summary
Macro-amputations are severe upper limb traumas. This review updates treatment protocols for macro-reimplantation, crucial for limb survival and function.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Hand Surgery
Background:
- Macro-amputations are rare but critical emergencies in upper limb surgery.
- Treatment protocols are often not well-established among surgical and anesthetic teams due to rarity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an updated review of macro-amputation injuries.
- To propose a treatment algorithm for guiding medical teams in managing these complex cases.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on macro-amputations and reimplantation.
- Development of a treatment algorithm based on current knowledge.
Main Results:
- Highlights the importance of a well-defined action plan for macro-reimplantation.
- Emphasizes key pre- and post-operative management stages for successful outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Effective management of macro-amputations requires precise knowledge of surgical and anesthetic protocols.
- A structured approach is essential for limb survival and functional recovery after major upper limb reimplantation.

03:02Primary and Secondary Growth in Roots and Shoots

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

01:10Ankle Joint
3.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
5.1K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....
