Objective To investigate the clinical efficiency of repairing ankle and calf wounds by antegrade or retrograde perforating flap of posterior tibial artery. Methods 13 cases with skin defects of ankle and calf wounds were reviewd. The defects were repaired using antegrade or retrograde perforating flap of posterior tibial artery from January 2011 to February 2013, 8 males and 5 females; aged 19 to 65 years old. Wounds were located in the ankle and calf, area which the tibial artery support contu-sioned slightly;defects were associated with exposed bone or tendon, exposed blood vessels. Of the 13 cases, 5 cases have multiple ankle fracture with blood circulation disorders, internal and external fracture fixation were performed emergency with blood ves-sels and nerves exposed, at the same time emergency line wound repair by posterior tibial artery perforating flap. The other 8 cases have no blood vessels and nerves exposure, and accepted vacuum sealing drainage emergency external fixation and flap surgery. Seven cases accepted V-Y antegrade perforating flap of posterior tibial artery, 6 cases using retrograde tibial artery perforator flap. Whose defects were ranged from 1.5 cm×2.0 cm to 9.0 cm×5.0 cm. Antegrade or retrograde perforating flap of posterior tibial ar-tery with 1.5 cm×3.0 cm to 14.0 cm×7.0 cm was used to repair ankle or lower leg medial defect. Antegrade flap donor site sutured directly, but retrograde flap donor site take full thickness skin graft repair from abdomen. Results Circulations of the all 13 cases were stable, with wound healing well after 2 weeks. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 24 months, average of 13 months. All flap graft survived, pedicle no bloated andcat eardeformity. Flaps were soft, no bloated appearance;color was con-sistent with normal skin. Fracture line in the 5 patients was disappeared. Bone healing time was 3.0 to 4.0 months. At the direct su-ture skin donor sites, postoperative scar was small;skin graft donor sites had no obvious scar. Postoperative ankle dorsiflexion 10° to 25°, plantar flexion 15° to 45°. Patients were extremely satisfied with the results of repair. Conclusion Using antegrade or ret-rograde posterior tibial artery perforator flap without sacrificing the main vessel, it is a simple and effective method to repair the medial malleolus and calf wounds.

Objective To introduce the surgical method of reverse radial side of dorsal artery the fascial pedicle island bone flap for the treatment of thumb composite tissue defects,and to evaluate its short term clinical outcome.Methods From May 2010 to March 2012,9 cases with composite tissue defects at thumb were treated with reverse radial side of dorsal artery the fascial pedicle island bone flap,including 5 males and 4 female with an average age of 38 years (range,13-68).All injuries were caused by planer.The time of injury to operation was 3-8 hours,all patients showed in both thumb root plane beyond volar or dorsal,skin and soft tissue defect accompanied by distal phalanx defect.Skin and soft tissue of thumb defect size was 1.0 cm ×1.8 cm to 2.0 cm × 2.2 cm.Preoperative hands anteroposterior and lateral X-ray were routine taken.Imaging findings were associated with the thumb base beyond the distal phalanx fractures,bone defect length was 0.4-0.7 cm.We cut thumb radial side of the dorsal artery fascia flap during surgery operation according to the thumb side wound defect case.The size of the bone flap was 0.2 cm× 0.6 cm to 0.4 cm × 0.8 cm,properly inserting intramedullary distal phalanx fixed base,9-0 line will flap inside the dorsal nerve and a nerve suture flap reconstruction feeling.Results All bone flaps were survived completely,no case occur venous disorders,flap blood circulation was stable,donor skin graft was survival in stage Ⅰ.This group of patients incision were healing 2 weeks after surgery.All the patients were followed up as scheduled,and the follow-up time was 6-12 months.All flaps survived,and the colors,texture,contour of the flaps were good.The two-points discrimination distance was 7.0-10.0 mm on the flap,Thumb distal phalanx healing time was 1.0-1.5 months.Bone absorption was not observed in graft.The thumb function was assessed as excellent in 7 fingers,good in 2 fingers,no complication occurred in donor site.Conclusion The main artery and nerve will not be sacrifice,when the bone flap is used.There are blood into the backbone of the first metacarpal nearly 1/3 of the bone to reconstruct thumb bone defect,the operative procedures is available and easy to be performed,which is a new method for the treatment of thumb composite tissue defects.
