Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Penetration of foreign bodies may present a diagnostic challenge to the surgeon. The foreign body granuloma is a biological response of tissue to any foreign body in the tissue. The pathway of arriving to the diagnosis of foreign body granuloma becomes di?cult when patient presents with non speci?c symptoms such as pain/ swelling, and in history- no recollection of previous trauma. It can be of two types-
a) Iatrogenic gossypiboma by retained surgical sponge intra-operatively
b) Granulation by a penetrating foreign body such as wooden splinter or other materials. -The most frequent reported injury is to hand, thigh, knee and feet; these may be limited to soft tissue of may be intra articular. The time and type of presentation varies according to the immune status of the individual. In cases, where history of trauma is uncertain, the presentation is very late and the radiographic appearance may be confusing - Median time of presentation: 4 months to 20 years. |

Abstract :A Sixteen-year-old male had a road traffic accident resulting in crush and loss of lateral two metatarsals of the left foot. The Lateral plantar arch was reconstructed with a vascularized fibula osteocutaneous flap. Flap survived and partial weight-bearing was started by 3 months and full weight-bearing was started 6-months post-surgery. At a 16-month follow-up patient had a normal gait and integrity of the lateral plantar arch was maintained. Vascularized fibula osteocutaneous flap is an excellent option for one-stage reconstruction of the lateral arch of the foot and gives satisfactory results in terms of functions of foot and in avoiding long-term morbidity. |
