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.

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.

Micro-lightguide spectrophotometry as an intraoral monitoring method in free vascular soft tissue flaps.

Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2003
PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study was to measure the hemoglobin oxygen saturation (HbO(2)%) and relative Hb concentration of free vascular soft tissue flaps using micro-lightguide spectrophotometry.

Use of cross-extremity flaps stabilized with external fixation in severe pediatric foot and ankle trauma: an alternative to free tissue transfer.

Journal of pediatric orthopedics, 1998
Pedicled cross-extremity flaps for wound coverage have been replaced, in most cases, by free tissue transfer. Classically, cross-leg flaps have been problematic because of difficulties with immobilization and positioning of the extremities from the time ...

KEYSTONE ISLAND FLAP: AN ALTERNATIVE RECONSTRUCTIVE OPTION TO FREE FLAPS IN IRRADIATED TISSUE

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2006
Background:  The Keystone Flap is an island flap that is very useful for repairing skin defects of the integument. Described as a keystone, this arc‐shaped flap in fact consists of a schematically designed, perforator‐based reconstructive unit which serendipitously resembles two conjoined VY flaps.

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.

Microvascular Anastomoses Using End-to-End versus End-to-Side Technique in Lower Extremity Free Tissue Transfer

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2015
Background The decision to perform an end-to-end (ETE) or end-to-side (ETS) arterial anastomosis in lower extremity free tissue transfer has not been thoroughly evaluated in a large multisurgeon setting.

Coverage of soft-tissue defects of the hand with free fascial flaps

Microsurgery, 2004
Coverage of exposed functional structures such as tendons, bones, vessels, or nerves at the dorsal and palmar surface of the hand requires thin, supple tissue to provide adequate range of motion and a satisfying aesthetic result. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the functional and aesthetic results after coverage of the hand with

Role of Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Free Flap Salvage

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2006
The use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) in microvascular surgery has been previously reported, but no consensus exists regarding its indications, dose, efficacy, or safety. The records of all patients undergoing free tissue transfer at one institution between 2000 and 2005 were reviewed.
