Two cases are presented where the use of epoprostenol sodium (prostacyclin) was used intraoperatively to prevent platelet thrombus during arterial microvascular anastomoses. Both patients required a free muscle transfer at an unfavourable time following injury when platelet thrombus formation was a significant risk.
The use of a single osteotomy combining both rotation and angulation is described, with a means of achieving the correct angle and direction of the osteotomy. Patients who have been treated by this method are presented.

A new incision is described for the correction of radial club hand. By the use of a bilobed flap, redundant skin is transferred from the ulnar side of the wrist to the radial side, where there is tension as the wrist becomes straight. The flap has been shown to be safe and effective in six consecutive cases, and access to the wrist and surrounding soft tissue structures is excellent.
