Abstract:
Objective:To study the anatomic basis of superior trapezius myocutaneous and spina scapulae osteomyocutaneous flaps pedicled with transverse cervical vessel.Methods:The blood vessels,the size of the superior trapezius muscle and the spina scapulae were dissected and examined in 32 adult corpses.Results:The superior trapezius muscle was in the shape of trapezium.The border length (mm) of A,B,C and D was 174.63,157.18,86.98 and 80.95 in average respectively.The area of the muscle was 126.78 cm2 on the average.The spina scapulae was 131.21 mm in average length.The length (mm) of transverse cervical artery trunk, superficial cervical artery trunk and its ascending artery,spina scapulae branch artery was 42.50,27.80,43.12,28.75 in average,their external diameter(mm) was 2.71,2.39,1.96 and 0.50 respectively.Entering the muscle,the ascending artery had 3～6 branches with the external diameter of 0.5 mm or more.The venous vessels were following the copartner artery.Conclusion:The superior trapezius muscle and the spina scapulae may be made for the myocutaneous and osteomyocutaneous flaps pedicled with transverse cervical artery used in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction.
