Some Neurofasciocutaneous Flaps in the Coverage of Lower Leg Soft Tissue Defects
Abstract: Reconstruction of soft tissue defects of heel, ankle, and distal third of the leg is one of the most difficult assignments for plastic surgeons and it remains a challenge to seek safer options with less morbidity. We report on 28 pedicle perforator flaps without harvesting major vessels in the lower leg reconstruction. In the lower extremities, there were 16 sural neurofasciocutaneous flaps with an axis on the sural nerve, 8 …

Reconstruction of broad soft tissue defect around knee with combined perforator flaps
Abstract: Perforator flaps have been commonly used in reconstruction of soft tissue defects nowadays; however, it is very important to apply them properly according to the characteristics of recipient site. Since there is no universal flap appropriate to various types of defects, there have been a number of research to apply appropriate perforator flaps suitable to recipient sites. Recently, achievements have been made by applying chimeric flaps based on perforators from …

Mandible reconstruction following resection of gingival squamous cell carcinoma with peroneal artery perforator based fibular osteocutaneous free flap
Abstract: Reconstructing soft tissue defect resulting from resection of malignant tumor in face is crucial in esthetic and functional point of view. To address this condition, various surgical flaps are used, including the free vascularized osteocutaneous flap. In this case, we used a free fibular osteocutaneous flap to reconstruct both the bone (osseous) and soft tissue (mucosal) defects. These defects were caused by the removal (resection) of a lesion in a …

Versatile Use of the Local Muscle Flaps Pedicled by Gastrocnemius and Hemisoleus Muscle with a Longer Reach for Coverage of Lower Extremity Defects
Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to highlight the clinical usefulness of multiple local muscle flaps pedicled on the gastrocnemius and hemisoleus muscles for managing soft-tissue defects of the lower extremity. The technique was applied to defects involving the distal femur and the distal one-third of the tibia, avoiding the need for free flap reconstruction. Methods: From January 2014 to January 2023, multiple local muscle flaps were planned and utilized for the …

Adipofascial Flap Cover For Medial Maleolus Defect
Abstract: Soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg, particularly over the medial malleolus, pose significant challenges due to poor vascularization and the limited availability of reliable local flaps. Over the past two decades, free tissue transfer has emerged as the preferred option for covering such defects. However, in certain cases, free flap transfer is not feasible due to patient-specific factors, cost constraints, or donor site morbidity. Traditional pedicled …

A Short-term Evaluation of Limb Reconstruction System as a Primary and Definitive Mode of Management in Fresh Open Fracture in Both Bones of Leg
Abstract: Open fractures require immediate surgical intervention, emphasizing prompt intravenous antibiotic therapy, irrigation, and debridement to minimize infection risks. The Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), which includes Shanz pins, rail rods, and sliding clamps, operates as a single-plane, one-sided rail system. This system provides strong fracture fixation, allows for early weight-bearing, and helps minimize costs. Challenges arise in tibial open fractures due to substantial soft tissue damage and bone loss, often resulting …
