Abstract:
The authors reported the results of anatomicat study of the scapular region (ninety-four sides) and the use of the parascapular composite flap in the repair of skin defects of the hand and foot.The parascapular flap is supplied by the circumflex scapular vessels. For exposure of the vascular pedicle an incision is made 7cm below the mid-point of the scapular spine, extending from the posterior axillary fold to the mid-point of the spine. Muscles are retracted and the circumflex scapular vessels are seen winding over the axillary border of the teres minor. Then the incision is extended from both ends of the above incision toward the inferior angle of the scapula to form an elliptical incision. The flap is raised by subfascial dissection from the mid-point of the spine towards the axilla, and ended by dividing the pedicle at the base of the circumflex scapular vssels. Since October 1982, the authors have applied flaps of such kind to repairing massive skin delects in the hand and the foot in 7 patients with success.
