Use of the soleus musculocutaneous perforator for skin paddle salvage of the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap: anatomical study and clinical confirmation.
BACKGROUND The skin paddle of the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap is reliably vascularized by septocutaneous perforators from the peroneal artery. However, in 5 to 10 percent of lower limbs, these perforators are absent. This anatomical study evaluated use of the soleus musculocutaneous perforator for skin paddle salvage in such situations. METHODS Latex injection studies were performed on 20...
متن کاملFree anterolateral thigh flap raised on musculocutaneous perforators of rectus femoris muscle.
The anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) has been in wide clinical use for the last two decades, its major disadvantage has been its variable anatomy. We are presenting a case in which no substantial perforators were found to be arising from either the lateral septum of thigh or Vastus Laterlis muscle. In this case, instead of raising another flap, we used the same skin paddle raised on the musculoc...
متن کاملThe Boomerang-shaped Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneous Flap for Reconstruction of Circular Defect of Cervical Skin
We report on a patient with a recurrence of oral cancer involving a cervical lymph node. The patient's postexcision cervical skin defect was nearly circular in shape, and the size was about 12 cm in diameter. The defect was successfully reconstructed with a boomerang-shaped pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap whose skin paddle included multiple intercostal perforators of the internal mammary...
متن کاملPeroneal Flap: Clinical Application and Cadaveric Study
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the peroneal artery and its perforators, and to report the clinical results of reconstruction with peroneal artery perforator flaps. METHODS The authors dissected 4 cadaver legs and investigated the distribution, course, origin, number, type, and length of the perforators. Peroneal artery perforator flap surgery was performed...
متن کاملThe perforator-sparing buttock rotation flap for coverage of pressure sores.
BACKGROUND The rotation fasciocutaneous flap for buttock pressure sore coverage has the distinct advantage of allowing rerotation in the event of ulcer recurrence. The authors describe their approach of preserving and incorporating musculocutaneous perforators into the conventional rotation design. METHODS The skin incision is the same as that for the conventional gluteal rotation flap. The f...
