Tube pedicle flap in the management of a Grade III C lower limb injury
چکیده انگلیسی

SummarySalvage of a Grade III C lower limb injury is a challenging problem. Apart from microsurgical revascularisation, they frequently need soft tissue coverage procedures. Due to the magnitude of the injury, local flaps from adjacent tissues may not be available and microsurgical free flaps are the flaps of choice. We present an instance where the defect in the middle third of a revascularised leg was covered by a tube pedicle flap raised from the groin and transferred, with the wrist as the carrier. This was chosen because of the below knee amputation on the opposite side combined with long segment circumferential loss of skin in the affected extremity and paucity of vein graft sources. Thus the reconstruction of a limb which was saved by microsurgery was completed by tube pedicle flap. In exceptional circumstances ‘old’ techniques are still useful.
