RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical effects of a single stage reconstruction and revascularization using a free Flow-through chimeric anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap in Gustillo III C limb injuries.Methods:From January, 2010 to December, 2017, 17 patients with Gustillo III C injury of extremities were repaired with Flow-through chimeric ALTP in emergency surgeries. The patients were 16 males and 1 female with mean age of 32.4 (19-55) years. The size of wounds ranged from 16 cm×8 cm-45 cm×30 cm. The injured arteries were Flow-through anastomosed with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery to regain blood flow. The deep dead space was filled with vastus lateralis flap, and the skin flap and fascia flap were used for superficial covering. The donor site was closed directly in 6 patients, simultaneous skin grafts were applied in 11 patients.Results:The followed-up time ranged 5 to 60 (average 21.8) months, and conducted by clinic visits and by telephone or WeChat interviews. Fifteen flaps survived, and 2 flaps failed with limb amputated. Six patients were repaired with skin and fascia flaps and 11 patients received flaps comprising the skin, fascia and vastus lateralis muscle. Four flaps healed in stage I. Partial necrosis were observed in 11 flaps. Of which, 1 healed by change of dressing and 10 healed by skin grafting. No complications occurred in donor site in all patients.Conclusion:The Flow-through chimeric ALTP flap can be used in stage I reconstruction of the blood supply of limbs and meanwhile achieve the 3-D repair of defects. It is one of the reliable methods in the reconstruction of Gustillo III C injuries in the extremities.
