Soft-tissue deficits over the plantar forefoot, plantar heel, tendo calcaneus, and lower leg are often impossible to cover with a simple skin graft. The previously developed medial plantar fasciocutaneous island flap has been adapted to cover soft-tissue defects over these areas. This fasciocutaneous flap based on the medial plantar neurovascular bundle is capable of providing sensate and structurally similar local tissue. Application of this fasciocutaneous island flap is demonstrated in 12 clinical cases. Successful soft-tissue cover was achieved on the plantar calcaneus (four patients), tendo calcaneus (four patients), lower leg (two patients), and plantar forefoot (two patients). Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 5 years. All flaps were viable at follow-up. Protective sensation was present in 11 of 12 flaps evaluated at 6 months. In addition, all 11 patients were able to ambulate in normal footwear. The medial plantar island flap seems to be more durable than a skin graft, and the donor site on the non-weight-bearing instep is well tolerated. This study demonstrates that the medial plantar fasciocutaneous island flap should be considered as another valuable tool in reconstructive efforts directed at the plantar forefoot, plantar heel, posterior ankle, and lower leg. 相似文献

The instep flap needs neither muscle nor a transposition base for survival or innervation. It can be transposed as an island fasciocutaneous flap either on the medial or lateral plantar neurovascular bundles or both, and it can be transferred also as a free flap from the opposite foot. Four cases demonstrating the use of the flap as an island and free flap are presented with follow-up ranging from 1 to 2 years. The absence of muscle in the flap provides greater stability of the heel reconstruction and results in a lesser secondary defect. Sensation in the flaps is diminished but adequate for long-term function, but hyperkeratotic reaction remains an unpredictable problem. The ability to transfer the flap as a free transfer widens the scope of the flap to reconstruct both heel and forefoot defects where local instep tissue or vascularity are inadequate for local reconstruction. The secondary defect, particularly when no muscle is included in the flap, has been minimal. 相似文献

Closure of plantar defects with local rotation flaps was studied in 10 patients with 11 plantar defects. Ages ranged from 15 to 66 years, and the average defect was 3.0 X 3.6 cm. Two patients were diabetics. Etiology was variable and included trauma, tumors, and breakdown in patients with anesthetic plantar surfaces. Plantar flaps were designed superficial to the plantar fascia based on the proximal plantar subcutaneous plexus blood supply. Sensation was provided by including the medial calcaneal nerve territory within the flap and by performing a limited intraneural dissection of the medial and lateral plantar nerves. Flaps were medially based, although laterally based designs are also possible when sensation is absent. The follow-up period averaged 20.8 months. Patients with normal sensation preoperatively had full sensation postoperatively and were able to bear weight on the flap without limitation. There was minor breakdown in one patient with incomplete sensation. One patient developed a hematoma. Sensate plantar flaps can be designed superficial to the plantar fascia. These flaps are durable and allow normal weight-bearing on the reconstructed surface. 相似文献

Anatomic basis of plantar flap design 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Safe planes exist for plantar incisions that minimize the possibility of subcutaneous nerve injury and are therefore useful in flap design. Nerve branch orientation in the plantar subcutaneous tissue is specific and guides dissection so as to avoid producing anesthesia in weight-bearing areas. An extensive proximal plantar subcutaneous plexus exists that permits elevation of plantar flaps in a superficial plane. This is due to the major contribution that the dorsal circulation makes to the skin of the plantar surface. The blood supply to the non-weight-bearing midsole area is not from the medial plantar artery exclusively. This is a watershed area with important lateral plantar artery and dorsalis pedis artery contributions as well. It is not necessary or desirable to base plantar flaps on a myocutaneous or fasciocutaneous supply with its required deep dissection. Local plantar flaps can be designed to include sensation and abundant blood supply without the need for "subfascial" dissection. Subcutaneous sensory plantar flaps designed in accordance with these principles promise a more ideal solution for the treatment of plantar defects. 相似文献

In this article, three cases in which free medial plantar perforator flaps were successfully transferred for coverage of soft-tissue defects in the fingers and foot are described. This perforator flap has no fascial component and is nourished only by perforators of the medial plantar vessel and a cutaneous vein or with a small segment of the medial plantar vessel. The advantages of this flap are minimal donor-site morbidity, minimal damage to both the posterior tibial and medial plantar systems, no need for deep dissection, the ability to thin the flap by primary removal of excess fatty tissue, the use of a large cutaneous vein as a venous drainage system, a good color and texture match for finger pulp repair, short time for flap elevation, possible application as a flow-through flap, and a concealed donor scar. 相似文献

Soft-tissue coverage of the foot is often difficult, especially when the distal third of the foot (dorsal or plantar aspects) is involved. The clinical situation can be further complicated when diabetic patients are affected by painful and unstable wounds of this kind because of the familiar phenomenon of vasculopathy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using distally based foot flaps to cover forefoot defects in diabetic patients. Preoperative selection of patients was the key to this study; those who had other major disease, chronic infection, bone involvement, and/or insufficient foot vascularization were excluded from the study. The authors report a series of 12 diabetic patients in whom the reconstruction of medium-sized defects (ranging from 1.5 x 2.0 cm to 3.0 x 7.0 cm) of the forefoot was performed using distally based dorsalis pedis flaps or medial plantar flaps. The transferred flaps survived and adapted well to the defects, except for one flap in a patient who had a slight venous insufficiency at outset. Wearing their own footwear, patients could walk after 20 to 30 days. After the follow-up period (3 months to 3 years), no skin breakdown in the treated areas was observed. Temporary donor-site pain was reported by medial plantar flap patients, and partial skin graft loss at the donor site occurred in some of the dorsalis pedis patients. The authors suggest that in selected cases, medium-sized soft-tissue defects involving the dorsal aspects or the weight-bearing areas of the diabetic foot can be successfully covered with distally based island flaps. 相似文献

The medial plantar flap presents an ideal tissue reserve, particularly for the reconstruction of the plantar and palmar areas, which require a sensate and unique form of skin. In the past 5 years, the authors performed 16 free flaps, 10 locally pedicled flaps, and five cross-leg flaps on 31 patients for the reconstruction of palmar and plantar defects. All flaps transferred to the palmar area survived, providing good color match and sufficient bulkiness. The overall results were satisfactory in terms of function and sensation, and no complications related to flap survival in the plantar area were observed. All flaps used to cover defects in the heel and ankle region adapted well to their recipient areas, and all lower extremities remained functional. Because the medial plantar flap presents glabrous, sensate skin with proper bulkiness and permits the movement of underlying structures, the authors advocate its use and view this procedure as an excellent alternative in the reconstruction of palmar and plantar weight-bearing areas. 相似文献

For more than a decade the pedicled island neurovascular flap of the glans penis has been the standard procedure for clitoroplasty in intersex anomalies and in male-to-female genital sex reassignment surgery. Most authors focusing on genitoperineal reconstructions have used the island neurovascular flap of the dorsal shaft of the penis, including a variable-sized dorsal chip of the glans penis as the distal and functional portion of the flap. Although this dorsal glans clitoroplasty technique for neoclitoral reconstruction is well known, it nevertheless deserves scientific revision, with a view to improving several neglected aesthetic and functional points. The authors describe a new method for reconstruction of the neoclitoris in male-to-female transsexuals, the corona glans clitoroplasty. It is based on a modification of the original pedicled island neurovascular flap of the glans penis. The main difference compared with the dorsal glans clitoroplasty is that, distally, this method includes a bifid dorsolateral coronal flap designed in the shape of an open lotus flower or a bull's horns. Furthermore, a semicircular preputial flap is retained, attached to the bifid coronal flap of the glans, to improve the cosmetic appearance of the vestibulum and avoid growth of hair around the neoclitoris. Finally, a small dorsal flap of the spongiomucosa urethra designed in the shape of a pencil tip is added to improve the cosmetic appearance of the vestibulum between the neoclitoris and the urethral neomeatus. Since October of 1999, the authors have performed more than 30 genital sex reassignment surgeries in male-to-female transsexuals, of whom 16 underwent their technique of corona glans clitoroplasty. The authors describe and discuss the anatomic basis and clinical implications of this technique and its cosmetic and potential functional advantages. They also consider the anatomic differences among four distal designs of the pedicled island neurovascular flap of the glans penis: dorsal, lateral, ventral, and corona glans clitoroplasty in male-to-female transsexuals. 相似文献

Finding an appropriate soft-tissue grafting material to close a wound located over the dorsum of a finger, especially the distal phalanx, can be a difficult task. The boomerang flap mobilized from the dorsum of the proximal phalanx of an adjacent digit can be useful when applied as an island pedicle skin flap. The vascular supply to the skin flap is derived from the retrograde perfusion of the dorsal digital artery. Mobilization and lengthening of the vascular pedicle are achieved by dividing the distal end of the dorsal metacarpal artery at the bifurcation and incorporating two adjacent dorsal digital arteries into one. The boomerang flap was used in seven individuals with injuries involving the dorsal aspect of the distal phalanx over the past year. Skin defects in all patients were combined with bone,joint, or tendon exposure. The authors found that the flap was reliable and technically simple to design and execute. This one-step procedure preserves the proper palmar digital artery to the fingertip and has proven valuable for the coverage of wide and distal defects because it has the advantages of an extended skin paddle and a lengthened vascular pedicle. When conventional local flaps are inadequate, the boomerang flap should be considered for its reliability and low associated morbidity. 相似文献

The retrogradely perfused medial plantar artery flap was used in a leprosy patient with a plantar ulcer over the heads of the second and third metatarsals. The flap is based on the anastomosis of the medial plantar artery with the branch of the first plantar metatarsal artery, which supplies the medial side of the great toe. This design provides reconstruction with like local tissues while not distorting the weight-bearing pattern of the foot. 相似文献

Objective: To expound the clinical effect of a new operation by transplanting double segment triangular fibula flap with vascular pedicle to repair the forefoot with lateral bone defect, and to study how to improve the operation method in the following stage. Methods: The inclusion criteria: More than 2 phalangeal and metatarsal bones defects of the lateral forefoot, widespread skin and soft tissue defects on pelma and dorsal foot, and destruction of the anterior aspect of foot arch, which seriously affects the foot function. There was one case of clinical application in November 2014. The repairing method is as followed: the harvested vascularized free fibula was cut into 2 segments and then they were folded into a right angle. According to selected control points on the residual metatarsals, an optimal stereo triangular net was constructed. Meanwhile, according to flow-through mode, the free anterolateral thigh flap was incorporated to repair the forefoot and foot arch. Results: Postoperative bone flaps all survived. After a 17-month following up, it was found that the grafted fibular healed well, shape of the foot was good, weight-bearing walking was practical, a slight limp and discomfort with plantar pain existed, sensory recovery reached S3 level and functional recovery of weight-bearing walking by forefoot reached W3 level, comprehensive evaluation was good, and there were wear scar and ulcer on the plantar flap during long-time walking for patients, such results were excellent according to foot function scoring criteria. Conclusion: In this operation the grafted fibula was fold into a triangle according to actual need, which though not completely restores the tridimensional structure of the longitudinal, transverse arches of the lateral foot makes weight-bearing walking possible, besides, its appearance and function is satisfactory. Such an operation has overcome the shortage of non-tridimensional structure of the transverse arch etc. in traditional operations and it should be an ideal operation in repairing serious defects on the lateral forefoot through further improvement. 相似文献

The distally based lesser saphenous venofasciocutaneous flap for ankle and heel reconstruction 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Finding an appropriate soft-tissue grafting material to close a wound located over the ankle and heel can be a difficult task. The distally based lesser saphenous venofasciocutaneous flap mobilized from the posterior aspect of the upper leg, used as an island pedicle skin flap, can be useful for this purpose. The vascular supply to the flap is derived from the retrograde perfusion of the accompanying arteries of the lesser saphenous vein. These arteries descend along both sides of the lesser saphenous vein to the distal third of the leg, either terminating or anastomosing with the septocutaneous perforators of the peroneal artery. Between February of 1999 and March of 2001, four variants of this flap were applied in 21 individuals, including 11 fasciocutaneous, five fascial, three sensory, and two fasciomyocutaneous flaps. Skin defects among all patients were combined with bone, joint, and/or tendon exposure. The authors found that the flap was reliable and technically simple to design and execute. This one-stage procedure not only preserves the major arteries and the sural nerve of the injured leg, but it also has proved valuable for covering a weight-bearing heel and filling a deep defect, because it potentially provides protective sensation and a well-vascularized muscle fragment. When conventional local flaps are inadequate, this flap should be considered for its reliability and low associated morbidity. 相似文献

Over the past 4 years at the Massachusetts General Hospital 18 patients have been treated for extensive defects (mean size 130 cm2) of the foot at or below the medial and lateral malleoli. These patients have been treated with free muscle flaps covered with thick split-thickness skin grafts. Full muscle flap survival has been seen in each patient, and all patients are currently ambulatory. A subgroup of nine patients are weight-bearing directly upon their skin grafts covering transferred muscle. All patients are walking without chronic breakdown over a mean follow-up of over 19 months with the exception of a single patient who has had breakdown in a region of redundant improperly tailored muscle flap. None of the skin grafted muscles has significant cutaneous sensibility. Detailed gait analysis of these patients has confirmed the weight-bearing capabilities of free muscle flaps with skin grafts and has proven to be an excellent method of foot reconstruction evaluation. It would appear from this study that cutaneous sensibility may not be necessary for successful reconstruction of the weight-bearing surface of the foot. This method of reconstruction should be considered when local tissues are not suitable for plantar foot reconstruction. 相似文献

New flow-through perforator flaps with a large, short vascular pedicle are proposed because of their clinical significance and a high success rate for reconstruction of the lower legs. Of 13 consecutive cases, the authors describe two cases of successful transfer of a new short-pedicle anterolateral or anteromedial thigh flow-through flap for coverage of soft-tissue defects in the legs. This new flap has a thin fatty layer and a small fascial component, and is vascularized with a perforator originating from a short segment of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral system. The advantages of this flap are as follows: flow-through anastomosis ensures a high success rate for free flaps and preserves the recipient arterial flow; there is no need for dissecting throughout the lateral circumflex femoral system as the pedicle vessel; minimal time is required for flap elevation; there is minimal donor-site morbidity; and the flap is obtained from a thin portion of the thigh. Even in obese patients, thinning of the flap with primary defatting is possible, and the donor scar is concealed. This flap is suitable for coverage of defects in legs where a single arterial flow remains. It is also suitable for chronic lower leg ulcers, osteomyelitis, and plantar coverage. 相似文献

The vascular supply of the tensor fasciae latae flap and of the lateral thigh skin was studied in 10 cadavers to evaluate whether the lateral thigh skin toward the knee could be incorporated into an extended tensor fasciae latae flap. Within each cadaver, vascular injection of radiopaque material preceded flap elevation in one limb and followed flap elevation in the contralateral limb. Flaps raised after vascular injection were examined radiographically to evaluate the vascular anatomy of the lateral thigh skin independent of flap elevation. When vascular injection was made into the profunda femoris, the upper two-thirds of the flaps was better visualized than the distal third. When the injection was made into the popliteal artery, the vasculature of the distal third of the flaps was better visualized. Flaps raised before vascular injection were examined radiographically to delineate the anatomical territory of the vascular pedicle that had been injected. In these flaps, consistent cutaneous vascular supply was only seen in the skin overlying the tensor fasciae latae muscle, confirming that musculocutaneous perforators are the predominant means by which the pedicle of the tensor fasciae latae flap supplies the skin of the lateral thigh. Extended tensor fasciae latae flaps were elevated bilaterally in one cadaver, and selective methylene blue injections were made into the lateral circumflex femoral artery on one side and into the superior lateral genicular artery on the contralateral side. Methylene blue was observed in the proximal and distal thirds of the skin paddles, respectively, leaving unstained midzones. The vascular network of the lateral thigh skin could be divided into three zones. The lateral circumflex femoral artery and the third perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery perfuse the proximal and middle zones of the lateral thigh skin, respectively. The superior lateral genicular artery branch of the popliteal artery perfuses the distal zone. The middle and distal zones meet 8 to 10 cm above the knee joint, where the skin paddle of the tensor fasciae latae flap becomes unreliable. These data indicate that if the aim is to incorporate the skin over the distal thigh in an extended tensor fasciae latae flap without resorting to free-tissue transfer, then either a carefully planned delay procedure or an additional anastomosis to the superior lateral genicular artery is required. 相似文献

The use of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle as a local muscle island flap for the coverage of the soft-tissue defects in the region of the lateral malleolus is presented. The anatomy of the muscle, the donor dissection, and the utilization of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle as a local muscle flap in the lower extremity are discussed. This flap was used successfully in a patient with a wound over the lateral malleolus and ankle. 相似文献

Deep defects of the hand and fingers with an unhealthy bed exposing denuded tendon, bone, joint, or neurovascular structures require flap coverage. However, the location and size of the defects often preclude the use of local flap coverage. Free-flap coverage is often not desirable either, because the recipient vessels may be unhealthy from surrounding infection or trauma. In such situations, a regional pedicled flap is preferable. A solution to this is the heterodigital arterialized flap. This flap is supplied by the digital artery and a dorsal vein of the finger for venous drainage. Unlike the neurovascular island flap, the digital nerve is left in situ in the donor finger, thus avoiding many of the neurologic complications associated with the Littler flap. The digital artery island flap is centered on the midlateral line of the donor finger. It extends from the middorsal line to the midpalmar line. The maximal length of the flap is from the base of the finger to the distal interphalangeal joint. By preserving the pulp and the digital nerve, a sensate pulp on the donor finger remains that reduces donor-finger morbidity and also preserves fingertip cosmesis. Twenty-nine flaps were performed in 29 patients and the outcomes in the donor finger and the reconstructed finger were reviewed. The flap survival was 100 percent. There were no cases of flap ischemia or flap congestion. Good venous drainage of the flap through the additional dorsal vein was helpful in preventing the occurrence of early postoperative venous congestion, which is common in island flaps of the fingers, which depend on only the venae comitantes for drainage. Donor-finger morbidity, measured in terms of range of motion and two-point discrimination in the pulp, was minimal. Ninety-seven percent of the donor fingers achieved excellent or good total active motion according to the criteria of Strickland and Glogovac. Pulp sensation in the donor fingers was normal in 28 of the 29 donor fingers. No cold intolerance of the donor finger or the adjacent finger is reported in this series. 相似文献

Facial burn scars are difficult to conceal and often preclude an aesthetic rehabilitation of the patient. Multistaged scalp and neck flaps have been described to provide hair-bearing skin to resurface burn scars in men. We have been resurfacing the upper lip and cheek in a one-stage procedure using a temporal artery island scalp flap. The temporoparietal fascia has been well described in recent years, and the understanding of this anatomy has facilitated the use of the island scalp flap for more distal transfers. 相似文献

A new experimental model for de novo generation of an axial pattern island flap has been designed in a rat model. The purpose of this study was to make a sufficient vascular carrier, as an island capsule flap, with only vascular pedicles and addition of collagen fibers induced by foreign-body reaction. The femoral arteriovenous bundle was isolated and sandwiched between two 2.5 x 1.5 cm Silastic sheets. Eight weeks later, as a delay procedure, femoral vessels were ligated at the distal end of the Silastic sheets and the four margins of the sheets were divided except for the vascular pedicle. This capsule flap was raised as a secondary island flap connected only by its vascular pedicle, then it was sutured back in place. Ten days after the delay procedure, the upper Silastic sheet was removed and a full-thickness skin graft was performed on the capsular island flap. Animals were killed at 80 days. A total of 40 axial pattern capsulocutaneous flaps from 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were successfully achieved. Pathologic study revealed neovascularization, and abundantly impregnated vascular structures near the pedicle were observed with randomly developed collagen fibers. The skin graft took 100 percent on this newly formed capsular flap; therefore, the capsule structure was able to survive on its own and support skin grafts. This experiment, by using an isolated femoral artery and vein as the main pedicle, led to the formation of a capsule flap through a normal foreign body reaction between two Silastic sheet implants. This new flap can be used as a reliable vascular carrier for various needs with minimal donor morbidity. 相似文献
