The authors present a novel 2-staged approach for complex dorsolumbar wound reconstruction in a multioperated spine patient with limited local flap options and contraindications for free flap reconstruction due to arteriosclerosis and cardiac issues. A delayed dorsal propeller flap was first autonomized to enhance perfusion, followed by elevation and mobilization 4 weeks later. This approach combined the historic delay phenomenon with modern propeller flap techniques, achieving durable coverage and infection control. The case highlights the value of integrating traditional and innovative surgical methods for complex reconstructions.

Posttensioned Masonry Walls
Post-tensioned masonry walls use high-strength steel rods or flexible tendons to enhance the strength and efficiency of masonry structures. These elements are securely anchored to the foundation and extend vertically either within the cores of the masonry units or between the masonry wythes. The construction process involves building the wall with these tensioning elements in place and allowing the mortar to fully cure.
Following the curing process, the tensioning begins. Steel rods are...
