History, 20th Century

Factitious (self-inflicted) skin wounds.

We represent 4 of our recent cases of factitious skin wounds. The general aspects of these wounds--including etiology, diagnosis, detection, and treatment--are discussed.

Adult

Use of dermal-fat suspension flaps for thigh and buttock lifts.

A new technique for the correction of trochanteric bulges is described. A buried dermal-fat flap is used as a suspensory mechanism to hang the weight of the thigh skin and subcutaneous tissues on the deep fascia, rather than on the upper skin flap. This technique is particularly applicable to patients with asymmetry of the buttocks and thighs as well as those with ptosis of the buttocks. Another advantage is that it creates a new gluteal fold at a predetermined higher level.

Adipose Tissue

Traumatic tattooing.

Traumatic tattoos may be classified into abrasive and explosive types. The abrasive form leaves the pigment deposit in the more superficial layers of the skin. Explosive forms of traumatic tattooing usually have a central focus of deeply embedded detritus with more superficially placed particles radiating from the central focus. In either form, the best results are achieved by immediate meticulous care of the wound. Many instruments and abrasive devices have been used to remove the embedded pigmented debris, yet the stimplest and most successful is the sterile, hard, natural-bristle toothbrush. This can easily be sterilized, packaged, and kept available in the emergency room and in the operating room.
