Twisted distal lateral arm flap for immediate reconstruction of thumb avulsion injury
Original language description
Background: Replantation is a complicated procedure in avulsion injuries in majority of the cases. When replantation of an avulsed thumb is not feasible, it is mandatory to find an appropriate reconstruction choice as soon as possible due to the importance of the thumb function in the dynamics of the handgrip. Materials and methods: Three patients with skin avulsion injury underwent immediate reconstruction by twisted lateral arm flap in our department since 2004. Results: No infection, hematoma, partial or complete flap necrosis were observed after the procedure. All of the flaps healed without complications. Con clus ion : Although the gold standard in reconstruction of these trauma defects is the use of local skin flaps or distant in- guinal flap, these reconstructive choices have multiple drawbacks such as the loss of sensibility and they are thicker.In this paper we propose a modification of distally planned lateral arm flap design and a new techn ique of its spiral shaping for imm ediate thumb reconstruction.
