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.
