RESUMO
Objective To explore a one-time repairing method for defects in palmar skin soft tissue, proper palmar nerves and arteries, and flexor tendon.Methods From March 2011 to June 2016, the defects in palamar skin, nerves, blood vessels or flexor tendons of 21 fingers in 20 cases were repaired by using the resected superficial veins and tendons and nerves of skin soft tissue on axes of indicis proprius tendon (extensor digiti quinti) or forearm-palmaris longus tendon or foot back short tendons of the first or second toes were cut according to the defects in palmar skin soft tissue, nerves, blood vessels and flexor tendon, Results All the vein flaps of the 20 cases were survived.The patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months.Both the shape and function of the fingers recovered well.The flaps were of good quality, with no obvious pigmentation, and good at sensations (The sensation between two points were 9 mm on average).Conclusion It was a simpler and more convenient way to repair defects in palmar skin soft tissue, nerves, blood vessels and flexor tendons using free venous flap with tendons and nerves for transplantation.It also ensures the blood-supply without sacrificing the main vessels, and thus it is an ideal method for repairing simultaneous defects in skin soft tissue, nerves and flexor tendon.
