THE SUBCALCANEAL FAT PAD: AN INNOVATIVE SPACE FOR PASSAGE OF THE PEDICLE IN FREE FLAP RECONSTRUCTION OF LATERAL HEEL DEFECTS

The Subcalcaneal Fat Pad: An Innovative Space for Passage of the Pedicle in Free Flap Reconstruction of Lateral Heel Defects

Summary:.Soft-tissue defects of the lateral heel remain a challenge for reconstructive surgeons.Although a reliable vascular supply for free flap anastomosis is available anteriorly from the anterior tibial vessels and medially from the posterior tibial vessels, the vascular anatomy of the lateral side lacks suitable donor vessels for free flap Swe

Growth associated protein 43 is expressed in skeletal muscle fibers and is localized in proximity of mitochondria and calcium release units.

The neuronal Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP43), also known as B-50 or neuromodulin, is involved in mechanisms controlling pathfinding and branching of neurons during development and regeneration.For many years this protein was classified as neuron-specific, but recent evidences suggest that a) GAP43 is expressed in the nervous system not USB Dri
