Pedicled groin flap applications on upper extremity injuries
Abstract
Between March 1987- July 1997 patients to whom pedicled groin flap were applied in order to be covered from soft tissue defects on hand, wrist and forearm were evaluated. Those soft tissue defects occurred by crush injuries, avulsion injuries, gun shot injuries, burns, and sequels. Forty-three (60 per cent) of total 72 patients were attempted urgently and were operated on the first day. Flaps were divided of the base of the groin approximately on the 22nd day (min. 19, max. 30 days). Closure of the donor site was done primarily. As a complication due to technique, infection occurred in 4 patients (6 per cent), marginal necrosis 2 patients (3 per cent), flap necrosis 1 patient (1,4 per cent). Eleven patients (15 per cent) suffered from slight loss of sensibility on skin of the groin and thigh. Donor side did not cause any aesthetics problems in all patients. Pedicled groin flap still keeps its importance practically because; it can be applied on emergency conditions, it does not need special equipment and microsurgical experience, it does not cause any functional and aesthetics problem on donor side in soft tissue defects on hand, wrist and forearm injuries.
