Review of Pedicled Groin and Thoracoepigastric Flaps in War-Related Extremity Trauma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND: War-related trauma can present substantial reconstructive challenges. The use of local tissue for extremity reconstruction is often impossible secondary to the large zone of injury associated with blast injuries. However, the torso is general protected by modern body armor. The purpose of this study is to investigate our experiences and outcomes of two stage pedicle flap procedures for complex upper extremity reconstruction in the war wounded.

متن کاملEffects of a formalized collaboration between plastic and orthopedic surgeons in severe extremity trauma patients; a retrospective study
BACKGROUND Severe trauma to the extremities often includes a combination of fractures and soft tissue injuries. Several publications support that the patient outcome is better when skeletal stabilization is followed by early soft-tissue coverage. In an effort to optimize the treatment of these patients, we established a formalized collaboration in 2008 between the Departments of reconstructive ...
متن کاملHand Allograft Saved by an Ultrathin Groin Flap
We report a case of a young double-hand allotransplant patient who presented with a full-thickness skin necrosis of the dorsum of the left hand after vascular compromise of the allotransplantation. Considering the lack of viable dorsal tissue overlying the extensor tendons and the need for early hand rehabilitation, an ultrathin pedicled groin flap was used for the coverage. This procedure resu...
متن کاملUse of the Anterolateral Thigh and Vertical Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flaps as Utility Flaps in Reconstructing Large Groin Defects
BACKGROUND Groin dissections result in large wounds with exposed femoral vessels requiring soft tissue coverage, and the reconstructive options are diverse. In this study we reviewed our experience with the use of the pedicled anterolateral thigh and vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps in the reconstruction of large groin wounds. METHODS Groin reconstructions performed over a per...
