To identify independent risk factors for free flap necrosis in lower limb soft tissue reconstruction and to develop and internally validate a preliminary nomogram for risk prediction.
The developed nomogram incorporates five preoperative factors for predicting free flap necrosis and shows promising discriminative ability and clinical utility.
Limitations:
{'text': 'The study is limited by its retrospective design, which may affect the reliability of the findings and their applicability to broader clinical settings.'}
Conclusion:
The study developed and validated a preliminary nomogram for predicting free flap necrosis, demonstrating robust performance in a single-center cohort.
In this procedural case review, vascular surgeon Dr. Samuel Steerman and neurosurgeon Dr. Shannon Clark collaborate to perform an anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF).
