EVALUATION OF THE SURVIVAL OUTCOME AND COVERAGE ABILITY OF POSTERIOR INTEROSSEOUS FLAP IN FOREARM - HAND DEFECTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To assess the survival rate and coverage ability of the posterior interosseous flap. Methods: A retrospective, case series descriptive study on 40 posterior in terosseous flaps in the Department of Microsurgery and Plastic Surgery, Ho Chi Minh City Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Hospital, from August 1st 2016 to May 31st 2018. Results: From August 1st 2016 to May 31st 2018, 40 patients (27 males and 13 females) used the posterior interosseous flap; the age was 37.35 ± 15.65; 4 cases (10%) covered the forearm distal end, 8 cases (20%) covered finger first web, 21 cases (52.5%) covered hand defects, 7 cases (17.5%) covered finger defects. There were 34 cases (85%) of the flap was complete survive, 3 cases (7.5%) had cyanosis distal end, 1 case (2.5%) had necrosis distal end, 1 case (2.5%) had a half flap necrosis, and 1 case (2.5%) was total flap necrosis. Conclusion: The posterior interosseous flap is reliable and is well-covered for the distal end of forearms, hands, and fingers.
