Objective To observe the clinical effect of the anterolateral thigh flap in repairing defect caused by resection of malignant melanoma in the heel region.Methods 8 patients with heel malignant melanoma were trea-ted by surgery.The malignant melanoma was further diagnosed by histopathological examination.Their heel defects caused by large resection of malignant melanoma were treated by anterolateral thigh flap.Results All skin flaps sur-vived and all the patients could walk normally 1 month after operation.The recovery of the function and sense was well 6 months after operation.Compared with the another well heel,the flaps had normal texture,color and appearance of heel.8 patients had complete follow -up,ranged form 6 months to 3 years.All cases survived with neither local recur-rence nor distant metastasis.Conclusion The anterolateral thigh flap can achieve good clinical effect in treating heel defect caused by the resection of malignant melamoma.And especially apply in large skin and tissue defect of heel area.The flap can weight,wear -resisting and reduce overheating and over cold damage.The range of resection can not be restricted by local skin flap.The clinical effect is satisfied.

Objective To observe therapeutic effects of early scab-cutting combined with axis-like abdo-men skin flap implanting in patients with wrist deep electrical burns.Methods Retrospective study was employed to analyze 70 patients received axis -like abdomen skin flap implanting for wrist deep electrical burns.All the cases were separated with early scab-cutting group(35 cases)and delayed scab-cutting group(35 cases),according to types of skin flap implanting.The therapeutic effect for the two groups were evaluated with rate of infection,duration of healing,living rate of skin flap,grade of skin burning,and rate of amputate.Results In the early scab -cutting group,the rate of infection was 11%,the duration of healing was(24.0 ±6.0)days,the rate of amputate was 3%,the living rate of skin flap was 97.0%,the wound healing of class A was 94.3%.In the delayed scab-cutting group,the data were respectively 31%,(35.0 ±7.4)days,17.0%,31% and 28.6%.Compared with the data of the two groups,the difference had statistical significance(the chi-square value or T value were respectively 4.151,6.831,3. 968,31.895,3.968.All the P values was less than 0.05).Conclusion Early scab-cutting combined with varied sorts of skin flap implanting shown great benefits for treatment of wounded and facilitate rehabilitation in function of wrist,which suggest decrease rate of complications and minimized hospitalized duration.

Objective To observe and analyze the clinical curative effect of the platelet rich plasma (PRP) in treatment of chronic difficult to heal the wound.Methods We selected 60 patients with chronic difficult healing wounds and they were divide into two groups at random,30 patients of A group,B group of 30 patients.All patients were given routine debridement,drainage and decompression treatment,B group was given autologous PRP wound injection and follow-up on the basis of conventional treatment.After injection of PRP,platelet count,platelet recovery and application of PRP granulation tissue growth and wound healing were observed.Results The wound healing effect at the 7th,14th,21 st day between the two groups,and compared with the 1 st day,the differences were statistically significant (A group:10.28％,22.16％,43.25％,65.78％;B group:18.75％,37.58％,61.84％,80.26％;X2:7.895,8.934,10.231,9.076,all P ＜ 0.05).Two groups of patients had obvious difference in healing time,in B group the average healing time was (12.6 ± 5.2) d,which in was (17.3 ± 7.4) d,the difference was statistically significant (t =1.932,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The PRP can effectively promote the wound repair of soft tissue,to promote healing of chronic difficult wound healing,the curative effect is distinct,it is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
