METHOD FOR SUBSTITUTING POSTTRAUMATIC DEFECTS OF SUPPORTING FOOT SURFACE

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves substituting soft tissue defect of supporting foot surface. Preformed tissue complex based on radial blood-fed fascial flap is used as donor flap. The flap is transferred under skin of internal foot arch with end-to-end anastomosis being created on radial artery of the fascial flap and anterior tibial artery and on corresponding comitant veins. Three weeks later, soft tissue defect of supporting foot surface is closed with transferred cutanofascial flap on recreated vascular pedicle. ^ EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in creating graft with axial blood supply type in any favorable donor zone. ^ 3 dwg
