This study details the vascular anatomy of dorsal metacarpal flaps, identifying key arterial networks crucial for blood supply in composite and reverse flaps. Findings support their use in reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Understanding the vascular supply of the hand is critical for reconstructive surgery.
  • Dorsal metacarpal flaps are utilized in various surgical procedures.
  • The vascular architecture of these flaps requires detailed examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the vascular anatomy of direct and reverse dorsal metacarpal flaps.
  • To examine the three-dimensional arrangement of the dorsal arterial network of the hand.
  • To identify potential blood supply sources for composite and reverse flaps.

Main Methods:

  • Review of vascular anatomy literature.
  • Examination of the three-dimensional arrangement of the dorsal arterial network.

  • Identification of dorsal-palmar anastomotic networks.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed description of collateral and terminal branches of the dorsal arterial network.
    • Identification of three types of dorsal-palmar anastomotic networks in the first and second metacarpal spaces.
    • These networks can supply blood to reverse metacarpal flaps.

    Conclusions:

    • The dorsal arterial network provides a potential blood supply for composite flaps.
    • Identified anastomotic networks are suitable for supplying reverse metacarpal flaps.
    • Clinical results from 12 cases of reverse metacarpal flaps are presented.
