The Reconstructive and Functional Role of Latissimus Dorsi Flap in Complex Upper Extremity Injuries
Severe upper extremity injuries are considered a potential source of significant disability. Appropriate soft tissue restoration is an essential component of any treatment protocol and often requires a vascularized flap to protect the neurovascular and musculo-tendinous structures. The use of latissimus dorsi muscle or myocutaneous flap is considered in ideal solution in such conditions as it p...
متن کاملHas the anterolateral thigh flap replaced the latissimus dorsi flap as the workhorse for lower limb reconstructions?
OBJECTIVE To compare the applicability and reliability of free Anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) with Latissimus Dorsi free flap (LD) in different reconstructive scenarios of lower limb. To compare flap elevation time, vessel diameters, pedicle lengths, total operative time, peri-operative blood requirement, number of secondary procedures and complications between the two types of flaps. METHOD...
متن کاملBipolar latissimus dorsi flap transfer for reconstruction of the deltoid.
Four patients with complete paralysis of the deltoid muscle with irrepairable axillary nerve lesion and one with traumatic destruction of the shoulder cap were treated with a bipolar latissimus dorsi muscle transfer. The latissimus dorsi muscle was prepared as an island flap, turned over and sutured to the trapezius proximally and to the original deltoid insertion on the humerus distally. Funct...
متن کاملRole of Latissimus Dorsi Island Flap in Coverage of Mutilating Upper Limb Injuries in Pediatric Age Group
Materials & Methods: we utilized LDM as an island flap to cover extensive soft tissue defects in the upper limb of pediatric patients. This work included 17 children (13 males and 4 females). All of them had extensive soft tissue loss of the upper limb with exposure of important structures. The cause of injury was road traffic accident in all patients. We analyzed the operative time, need for m...
متن کاملComparison of morbidity-related seroma formation following conventional latissimus dorsi flap versus muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap breast reconstruction
PURPOSE The pedicled, descending-branch muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi (MSLD) flap has been widely used for breast reconstruction following total mastectomy. However, the superiority of the MSLD flap compared to the conventional latissimus dorsi (CLD) flap in preventing seroma formation has not been demonstrated. This study compares the morbidities related to seroma formation following pedicle...
