Abstract:
Microsurgical compoeite tissue transplantation to date has contributed to reconstructive surgery by expediting transfer of large blocks of tissue. We have performed the first successful transplantation of microneurovascular tendocutaneous free flap from the dorsum foot to the defect of dorsum hand including extensor tendons. We considered the free flap with extensor tendons from the dorsum foot was the best donor site for functional recovery of the defect of dorsum hand. Two cases of tendocutaneous free flap transplantation were performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Hanyang University Hospital, and satisfactory results were obtained.
