ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of super large venous flap with palmaris longus tendon for repairing the complex tissue defect of the palm of finger.Methods From May,2011 to October,2017,complex tissue defect of the palm of 15 fingers in 15 cases was treated by a super large vein flap with palmaris longus tendon.There were 10 males with 10 fingers and 5 females with 5 fingers.The age was from 19 years to 51 years (average,35.8years).Among these cases,machine injury was in 12 cases and crush injury was in 3 cases.Complex tissue defect of the palm of the finger with tendon defect occurred in all the cases.There were 3 thumbs,5 index fingers,3 middle fingers and 5 ring fingers.The area of skin defect was from 3.5 cm×2.0 cm to 7.5 cm×3.5 cm.The length of tendon defect was 2.0-4.0 cm.Phalangeal fractures occurred in 4 cases (2 cases of proximal phalanx,1 of middle phalanx,and 1 of distal phalanx).All the patients received the operation in one stage.The time between the injury and the operation was 1.5-3.0h(average,2.0 h).The time of the operation was 3.0-4.5 h(average,3.6 h).Regular followed-up was performed after operation.Results All flaps survived.Fourteen cases were followed-up for 6 to 12 months(average,7 months),and 1 case lost.The skin flap has soft texture,good elasticity,and no bloat.The color of skin flap was close to the normal skin.Sensory recovery reached S2 to S3,and the function and appearance of the finger were well restored.Conclusion The super large vein flap with palmaris longus tendon can be used to repair the complex tissue defect of the palm of fingers.The flap can get a satisfactory effect after surviving.It is an ideal method of repairing this kind of damage.
