Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap reconstruction for large and complex soft tissue defects of forearm and hand. Patients and methods: Thirteen patients (11 males, 2 females; mean age 32.5 years; range 18 to 55 years) underwent free ALT flap reconstruction for forearm and hand defects. The etiology of defects was crush injury in nine patients, tumor excision in two patients, electric burn in one patient, and unstable scar excision in one patient. In five patients a flow through ALT flap was used to reconstruct vascular defects. In tree patients a vascularised fascial ALT flap was used to reconstruct the tendon defects and in five patients neurosensory ALT flap was used. Patients were followed for 44±14.6 months. Chen classification was used to evaluate functional outcomes at the end of the postoperative first year. Results: All flaps survived completely in 11 patients. In the other two patients marginal necrosis was observed. These areas with necrosis healed after debridement and daily dressings. The functional results were satisfactory in 11 patients according to Chen classification (6 patients Chen I and 5 patients Chen II) and poor in two patients (Chen III). Conclusion: The anterolateral thigh flap represents an excellent option for covering various complex defects in the forearm and hand. The flap provides a thin, pliable, vascularized tissue for covering the exposed tendons, nerves, bones, and reconstruct deficiencies.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada önkol ve eldeki geniş ve kompleks yumuşak doku eksikliklerinin serbest anterolateral uyluk (ALU) flebi ile onarım sonuçları değerlendirildi. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Ön kolda ve elde kompleks ve geniş doku kaybı olan 13 hastaya (11 erkek, 2 kadın; ort. yaş 32.5 yıl; dağılım 18-55 yıl) serbest ALU flep ile onarım yapıldı. Hastaların dokuzunda doku kaybının nedeni ezilme yaralanması, ikisinde tümör çıkarılması, birinde elektrik yanığı ve birinde unstable skar dokusu çıkarılmasıydı. Beş hastada arter defektini onarmak için flow through ALU flep, üç hastada tendon defektlerini onarmak için vaskülarize fasya ALU flebi beş hastada ise nörosensöriyal ALU flebi kullanıldı. Hastalar 44±14.6 ay boyunca takip edildi. Fonksiyonel sonuçlar ameliyat sonrası birinci yılda Chen sınıflaması kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: On bir hastada flepler tam olarak yaşadı. Kalan iki hastada ise flep kenarlarında yer yer minimal nekroz oluştu. Nekroze olan bu alanlar debride edildikten sonra pansumanla iyileşti. On bir hastada fonksiyonel sonuçlar tatminkarken (6 hasta Chen I ve 5 hasta Chen II), iki hastada kötüydü (Chen III). Sonuç: Anterolateral uyluk flebi, çeşitli kompleks ön kol ve el defektlerinin kapatılmasında mükemmel bir seçenektir. Tendon, sinir ve damarsal yapıların üzerinin kaliteli bir dokuyla kapatılmasının yanında bu dokuların eksikliklerinin onarımını da sağlar.
