Free Flap Coverage of Deep Tissue Defects of the Foot

Foot & Ankle, 1982
This is a review of seven cutaneous or myocutaneous free flaps performed at the Duke University Medical Center for coverage of foot defects. The average follow-up is 19.3 months. The average anesthetic time was 7 h and 45 min. The average length of hospitalization was 14.1 days. There were no failures.

Reconstruction of Difficult Wounds With Tissue-Expanded Free Flaps

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2004
Tissue expansion of free flaps before transfer have been used to increase the size of the transferred tissue and to allow primary closure of the donor site. This is especially important in burns when there is a lack of healthy tissue, and in children when there is a relative lack of tissue.

FREE FLAPS FOR SOFT TISSUE COVERAGE IN THE HAND AND FINGERS

Hand Clinics, 1999
With mastery of conventional methods, free flaps are indicated in selected cases for coverage of the hand and fingers. Careful preoperative planning, delicate intraoperative management, and postoperative physiotherapy are the mainstays for success in functional recovery and aesthetic result.

Microvascular Free Flaps for Soft-Tissue Defects

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1991
Included in this discussion of microvascular free flaps for soft-tissue defects is an examination of the oral and pharyngeal lining, the epithelial-line conduit between the oropharynx and esophagus, skull-base defects, total glossectomy defect, facial augmentation, external skin coverage, and muscle transfer.

Soft tissue coverage of the hand with a free digital fillet flap

Microsurgery, 1990
AbstractA free digital fillet flap was used to achieve soft tissue coverage of the ulnar border of the hand in a 38 year old man with an industrial fan blade injury to the dominant hand. The use of a digital fillet flap from an unsalvageable ring finger allowed for a one‐stage procedure avoiding donor site morbidity or need for additional ...

Free Vascularized Soft Tissue Flaps for Coverage of the Foot and Ankle

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1995
Microsurgical procedures for coverage of foot and ankle defects now are undertaken with a better understanding of biomechanical requirements, and concern for durability, aesthetics, donor site morbidity, and shoe fit. Well-contoured muscle flaps including the latissimus dorsi, rectus abdominis, and gracilis muscles frequently are used along with thin ...

Is Surface Cooling Effective for Tissue Preservation in Free-Flap Surgery?

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1995
Effective tissue cooling can extend the period of safe ischemia. To determine whether the technique of surface cooling could produce an effectively low core temperature (4 degrees to 10 degrees C) in the flap core in a reasonable amount of time, bovine muscle/subcutaneous fat flaps, weighing 400, 800, and 2000 g, were brought to 37 degrees C and then ...
