TLDR
The use of reverse periosteal flaps is described as a technique in repairing large nasocutaneous fistulae in 2 horses after previous attempts to close the defects by other means had failed.Abstract:
Summary
Head injuries occur frequently in horses and a successful outcome after repair depends upon the severity of the initial trauma, the anatomical structures involved and the extent of tissue loss. Often these injuries involve facial bones and enter into the nasal passages or paranasal sinus system. When these injuries occur in conjunction with substantial tissue loss, the resulting defect may be difficult to close and naso/sinocutaneous fistulae can develop. These defects can be challenging and time consuming to repair and an appropriate reconstructive technique must be selected. We describe the use of reverse periosteal flaps as a technique in repairing large nasocutaneous fistulae in 2 horses after previous attempts to close the defects by other means had failed.read more

Treatment of horses for a facial or oral fistula
James Schumacher,Palle Brink +1 more
TL;DR: A sinocutaneous or nasocUTaneous fistula is usually a sequel to a comminuted fracture of one or more facial bones, whereas an oronasal or oromaxillary sinus fistula occurs most commonly after a maxillary alveolus fails to fill with healthy granulation tissue after its tooth has been lost.

Use of rotational periosteal flaps in primary repair of sinofacial fractures in seven horses
TL;DR: Covering a primarily repaired sinofacial fracture of a horse with a rotational periosteal flap resulted in good cosmetic outcomes, and may be especially beneficial if the fracture is accompanied by loss of bone.

Chemoattraction of progenitor cells by remodeling extracellular matrix scaffolds.
TL;DR: The chemotactic properties of a biologic scaffold composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) and subjected to in vivo degradation and remodeling were evaluated in a mouse model of Achilles tendon reconstruction and showed greater migration of progenitor cells toward tendons repaired with UBM-ECM scaffold.

TL;DR: Wounds treated with PRP gel exhibit more rapid epithelial differentiation and enhanced organization of dermal collagen compared to controls in equine.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the addition of PRP to bone derivative/substitute materials may not significantly enhance bone formation in the maxillary sinus area.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Combined With Skin Substitute for Chronic Wound Healing: A Case Report
TL;DR: P therapy alone and in combination with a bioengineered skin substitute as a platelet-rich tissue graft in a chronic, non-healing wound is detailed and promising observations from this case report indicate that further study on the combining of PRP therapy and skin substitutes is necessary.

TL;DR: A frontal sinus fistula was corrected surgically using a temporalis muscle flap and split thickness skin graft in a horse to allow restoration of a functional covering and excellent final appearance.
