Peroneal perforator‐based peroneus longus tendon and sural neurofasciocutaneous composite flap transfer for a large soft‐tissue defect of the forearm: A case report

Abstract: We describe the use of a composite flap composed of a sural neurofasciocutaneous flap and a vascularized peroneus longus tendon for the reconstruction of severe composite forearm tissue defects in a patient. A 43-year-old man had his left arm caught in a conveyor belt resulting in a large soft-tissue defect of 18 × 11 cm over the dorsum forearm. The extensor carpi radialis, superficial radial nerve, and radial artery were severely damaged. A free neurofasciocutaneous composite flap measuring 16 × 11 cm was out… Show more

“…At Wang C and Hayashida K used a perforator-based sural neurocutaneous flap for the reconstruction of complex forearm injuries. However, due to the lack of availability of microsurgery and when raising a flap needs to be well vascularised to avoid pedicle torsion or compression (1,5), this technique could not be performed in a country with low healthy infrastructure, like Somalia. So, we preferred vacuum-assisted closure because it is a simple and effective method of treating traumatic soft tissue defects instead of doing free flap transplantation, which is unavailable due to the inaccessibility of microsurgery.…”

“…Each component of a chimeric flap has an independent vascular supply, and joins to a common vascular pedicle. This chimeric style provides many advantages for repairing complex forearm injuries (Giessler & Schmidt, ; Hallock, ; Hayashida, Saijo, & Fujioka, ; Huang, Chen, Wei, Cheng, & Schnur, ).…”

“…Tendon defect is one of the common clinical diseases (Hayashida et al, 2018;Kunze et al, 2019). After the tendon injury, it often leads to limb dysfunction, severe cases, or even disability without repairation in time (Ando et al, 2019).…”
