游离足底内侧皮瓣修复腕掌尺侧皮肤神经缺损

目的 探讨修复腕掌尺侧皮肤神经同时缺损的新方法.方法 2000年4月至2009年8月,应用游离足底内侧皮瓣修复腕掌尺侧皮肤并神经缺损5例.足拇趾胫侧趾底固有神经修复小指尺掌侧固有神经缺损1例;桡神经浅支修复尺神经及其深浅支缺损2例,修复尺神经浅支、第4指掌侧总神经及小指尺掌侧固有神经缺损1例;尺神经手背支修复尺神经浅支、第4指掌侧总神经及小指尺掌侧固有神经缺损1例.足底内侧血管与尺血管吻合.供区取同侧大腿皮片移植修复.结果 术后皮瓣及移植皮片全部成活.5例获得6个月至4年的随访,皮瓣质地好、外观满意,无手内肌萎缩和爪形手畸形,皮瓣和手指感觉恢复达S3～S3+,皮瓣两点辨距觉为7～10 mm.尺神经深浅支缺损病例术后综合评价均为优.结论 游离足底内侧皮瓣是修复腕掌尺侧皮肤神经缺损的有效方法.

Abstract：

Objective To explore a new method for repair of concurrent skin and nerve defect at palm and carpal on ulnar side. Methods From April 2000 to August 2009, five cases with concurrent skin and nerve defect at palm and carpal on ulnar side were reconstructed with free medial plantar flaps.Palmar nervous proprii defect at ulnar side of little finger was repaired by the first toe tibia nervous proprii in one case. The superficial branch of radial nerve was applied to repair the defect of ulnar nerve, as well as its deep or superficial branch in two cases. The superficial branch of radial nerve was also used to repair the defect of superficial branch of ulnar nerve, common palmar digital nerve of the fourth finger, Little finger ulnar palmar nervous proprii in one case. The dorsal branch of ulnar nerve was applied to repair the defect of superficial branch of ulnar nerve, common palmar digital nerve of the fourth finger, little finger ulnar palmar nervous proprii in one case. The vascular bundle of medial plantar flap was anastomozised with ulnar vascular bundle. The wounds at donor sites were covered with free skin grafts which were obtained from upper leg. Results All the flaps and skin grafts were survived completely. The five patients were followed up for six months to four years with no muscular atrophy or claw hand deformity. The esthetic result was satisfied. The Sensory of flaps and fingers recovered to S3 to S3+. The two-point discrimination distance on flaps was range from 7 mm to 10 mm. The postoperative comprehensive evaluation was excellent in the cases whose superficial and deep branches of ulnar nerve were repaired.Conclusions Free medial plantar flap is an effective method to repair concurrent skin and nerve defect at palm and carpal on the ulnar side.
