Abstract: 10.00 Time Lapse Imaging Of Human Neurons Co-Cultured With Canine Olfactory Ensheathing Cells And Schwann Cells On 3D Spider Silk Constructs

results: One to 3 reliable perforators supply the lateral arm flap. Based on cadaveric dissections, from the deltoid insertion, the A, B, and C perforators were located at 7.2 ± 1.0cm, 9.9 ± 1.2cm, and 11.8 ± 0.8cm which was 0.44, 0.61, and 0.72 of the distance from the deltoid insertion respectively. The average pedicle length was 7.0 ± 1.1cm. The cadavers were entirely symmetric in the number and location of the perforators between the right and left arms. All 51 patients (24 male and 27 female) had at least one perforator with an average pedicle length of 7.0 ± 1.3cm, average arterial diameter of 1.7 ± 0.3mm and vein diameter of 2.5 ± 0.5mm. All but one flap was performed as a free flap for head and neck reconstruction with one pedicled flap for shoulder reconstruction. The average flap size was 72.2 ± 37.1cm2 (range: 21-165cm2). The nondominant arm was used for all free flaps. There were no total or partial flap losses. Twenty-eight patients reported donor site numbness, with one infection, one hematoma, and one wound dehiscence. ConClusions: The lateral arm flap can be harvested reliably based on well-defined perforators and anatomic landmarks with minimal donor site morbidity and should be included in the armamentarium of reconstructive microsurgeons.
