Ensuring Survivability of the Skin Island of the Free Iliac Osteocutaneous Flap with Double Arterial Inflow Techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND: The iliac osteocutaneous flap provides excellent vascularized bone for hardware fixation and osseointegrated implants, but a main drawback is the reliability of the skin island. The purpose of our study was to present novel techniques to increase the reliability of the iliac osteocutaneous flap using vein grafting, resulting in a single flap donor site and a single set of recipient site anastomoses, to help ensure total flap survival.

Application of an Iliac Osteocutaneous and Fabricated Chimeric Iliac Osteocutaneous Flap for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction
In the foot and ankle region, the use of vascularized bone flaps is usually adequate for managing complex bone defects.1 Flaps fromvarious donor sites, such as thefibula, deep circumflex iliac artery–iliac crest, and medial femoral condyle, have been explored,1–7 with each type of flap showing positive and negative characteristics. Morework is needed to identify an ideal donor site that can imp...
متن کاملComposite osteocutaneous groin flap combined with neurovascular island flap for thumb reconstruction.
Three amputated thumbs were reconstructed with a composite osteocutaneous groin flap and a neurovascular island flap. The average age at the time of surgery was 28 (range 25-35) years. The level of the amputation was distal to metacarpophalangeal joint in two cases and proximal in one case. The injury mechanism was avulsion in all cases. The postoperative follow-up periods ranged from 27 to 30 ...
متن کاملThe double-barreled radial forearm osteocutaneous free flap.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The radial forearm osteocutaneous free flap (RFOCFF) provides a thin pliable skin paddle with up to 11 cm of bone. A limitation of this flap is the thin bone that is obtained and the lack of suitability for dental implants. A minimum depth of 5 mm and height of 10 mm is required for a bony flap to accept osteointegrated implants. We propose that by double barreling the rad...
متن کاملModern Mandible Reconstruction Utilizing the Chimeric Fibula Free Flap and Double-Barreling Techniques.
Introduction The fibula osteocutaneous flap is now commonly used to reconstruct composite mandibular defects. Difficulties in flap execution are invariably related to the dynamic relationship of the bone orientation and the skin paddle inset. Traditional design has been limited to a single-strut bony design in order to restore mandibular continuity, without restoration of mandibular height and ...
متن کاملNew modified free chimeric fibular flap design for head and neck reconstruction.
BACKGROUND The free fibular osteocutaneous flap is a commonly used flap for mandible and buccal mucosa reconstruction in head and neck cancer surgery. However, the skin paddle restriction from the intermuscular septum often limits the soft tissue reconstruction. METHODS We have proposed a new modified chimeric fibular osteocutaneous flap design based on the combination of a traditional fibula...
