ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the operative method and clinical rusults of repairing and reconstruction for bone and skin defect at medial malleolus.Methods Form January,2013 to January,2015,11 cases of patients with malleolus complex tissue defect were treated.According to the degree of damage to the cases were divided into four types,according to the type,selected flap,blood vessels,nerves,tendon graft,flap series connection iliac bone flap graft to repair,or direct ankle fusion,amputation to therapy.The Iliac flap donor site remained part of the anterior superior iliac spine and rebuild muscle starting and ending point,the donor sites wound was closed by skin graft.Results Followed-up of 1-24 months,in addition to amputation and ankle fusion each one exception,the remaining 9 patients underwent ankle reconstruction to reserve ankle.One case acquired infection,other 8 patients healed well,had different degree of recovery of the ankle function,the ankle function had recovery in different degree.AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score system:excellent in 4 cases,good in 4 cases,and poor in 1 case.Conclusion Ankle complex tissue defect classification method can be used to guide us to select the treatment options.Iliac bone flap series consisting mainly of composite tissue transplantation is a viable method of the medial malleolus defect reconstruction.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Autologous bone-skin flap transplantation is the best method for the repair of composite tissue defect, but the repair ability is limited, with big trauma, new tissue defect and a certain dysfunction. Al ogeneic bone has the osteoinductive capacity, which can be used to prepare the bone-skin flap. OBJECTIVE:To research the pathological change of the al ogenic bone during the prefabrication of bone-skin flap with al ogeneic bone implant. METHODS:The experimental animals were Bama miniature pigs. Deep-frozen al ogenic bone was implanted in iliac artery-supported tissue flap compartment of miniature pigs. After operation, the local reactions were observed, the al ogenic bone were studied by general observation and histological analysis at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after implantation respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Obvious inflammation reaction was not observed in the surgical zone. The al ogeneic bone was vascularized at 4 weeks after implanted into the flap tissue without obvious osteoblast-like cells. The vascularization, bone resorption and uneven distributed osteoblast-like cells and osteoclast-like cells were observed at 8 weeks after implantation, and new bone formation was observed. At 12 weeks after implantation, new bone formation and bone absorption was strengthened, and the morphology of the bone graft was changed. At 16 weeks after implantation, al ogenic bone turned into fragments and absorbed, and no new bone formation was observed. The results indicated that during the prefabrication of bone-skin flap with al ogeneic bone implantation, the pathological changes of the al ogeneic bone was observed with time prolonging, and the bone-skin flap should be transplanted in time.
