BACKGROUND:Traumatic soft tissue defects of the limbs are usual y accompanied with the exposure of tendon, joint capsule, bone or internal fixator, which can be reconstructed by skin flap. Previous research has shown that it is an important method to repair traumatic tissue defects with flaps. However, rarely research reports perioperative management about flap bed so far. OBJECTIVE:To explore the perioperative strategy for repairing traumatic soft tissue defects with revascularized flaps. METHODS:Total y 94 cases undergoing secondary skin flap repair were enrol ed. Intraoperative debridement using tourniquet was performed, and the wound was washed with mass of physiological saline. Whether the tissues, including bone, tendon, joint capsule and internal fixator, were reserved or not depended on their viability, and then the flaps were harvested to repair defects, and drainage was placed properly at last. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The flaps survived in al cases. Exudation occurred in 5 cases with the exposure of bone, and 28 cases with the exposure of tendon or joint capsule healed normal y. No complications were associated with the reservation of the internal fixators, but delayed-union occurred in three cases and nonunion in one case. These findings indicate that the perioperative treatment of the application of skin flap is worthy of attention. Careful debridement, advisable choice of the flap, efficient drainage and using antibiotic normatively are al keys. Treatment of the bone, tendon, joint capsule and internal fixator which are exposed should not only weigh the advantage and disadvantage, but also relax the indication of reserving them.
