Management of deep burns/trauma scars has always been a challenge. Seven patients with burn/trauma scar were treated with expanded full thickness grafts (EFTSGs). In stage one, tissue expanders were implanted at the donor sites and expansion with saline was done as an out-patient for 4-5 months. In stage two, the scar was excised and secondary wound was repaired with EFTSGs. Total of 8 EFTSGs were harvested from various donor sites. After stage one there was good blood supply noted in all the expanded skin flaps. After stage two, EFTSGs survived in all; except for partial skin necrosis in the leg of one patient. The graft take were excellent in color-match, texture and elasticity. There was a significant improvement in function and aesthetic aspect in all the cases. EFTSGs is an effective solution to repair effectively scar and scar contractures due to excellent cosmetic and functional recovery.

Clinical And Pathological Features

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term “cannabis arteritis” should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.
